man in the long black coat

黑衣人

·

`Crickets are chirpin', the water is high,
There's a soft cotton dress on the line hangin' dry,
Window wide open, African trees
Bent over backwards from a hurricane breeze.
Not a word of goodbye, not even a note,
She gone with the man
In the long black coat.

蟋蟀鸣叫，潮水涨高，

棉衣在绳索上晾晒，

窗户大开，

非洲树被狂风拉扯摇摆。

不说再见，不给留言，

她和一个人一起离开，
那是一个黑衣人。

Somebody seen him hanging around
At the old dance hall on the outskirts of town,
He looked into her eyes when she stopped to ask
If he wanted to dance, he had a face like a mask.

Somebody said from the Bible he'd quot

There was dust on the man

In the long black coat.

有人发现他在小镇郊外的老舞厅里闲逛，
随着她的邀请，

他凝望着她的双眼，
一副面具般的脸展现无疑。
有人说了句他曾经引用的典故，
从前有个风尘仆仆的人，
那是一个黑衣人。
