The Beatles - Penny Lane：歌詞+中文翻譯

The Beatles於1965年的歌曲，
這首歌是描寫著Liverpool一處街道叫做Penny Lane，

也是The Beatles發跡的地方，
最初這首歌主要是描述著他們對於家鄉的一切，
不論他們到了甚麼地方，
都會想起這個最初的出發地。
當然其中不免被許多人八卦與毒舌，
甚至有人權團體因這地方曾經有過黑奴販賣的紀錄，
才稱作Penny Lane，
因此要求改地名。
如今這地方是相當知名的觀光景點，
當然一切都是衝著The Beatles來朝聖的。

[Verse 1: Paul McCartney]

In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs

Penny Lane的街道上有間理髮廳，門口貼滿了名人的照片

Of every head he's had the pleasure to know

這位理髮師總希望能認識這些名人中的一兩個

And all the people that come and go

街上的人群來來去去

Stop and say hello

都會停下腳步打聲招呼

[Verse 2: Paul McCartney]

On the corner is a banker with a motorcar

轉角處一位銀行家把車停下來

The little children laugh at him behind his back

不少小鬼頭在他背後嘲笑著他

And the banker never wears a mac

這位銀行家不穿長板雨衣

In the pouring rain

Very strange

在這大雨中顯得相當怪異

[Chorus 1: Paul McCartney with John Lennon & George Harrison]

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes

Penny Lane的街景與吵雜總迴盪在我耳邊與我的眼前浮現

There beneath the blue suburban skies

這座城市總有一片蔚藍的天空

I sit and meanwhile back

只要我一坐下，熟悉的景象立即浮現

[Verse 3: Paul McCartney]

In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass

在Penny Lane有位消防員總隨身帶著一只沙漏

And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen

He likes to keep his fire engine clean

It's a clean machine

真是一部乾淨的消防車

[Piccolo trumpet solo]

[Chorus 2: Paul McCartney with John Lennon & George Harrison]

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes

Penny Lane的街景與吵雜總迴盪在我耳邊與我的眼前浮現

Four of fish and finger pies

勾起回憶的街邊小吃
(炸魚與薯條)

In summer, meanwhile back

在夏季，熟悉的景象立即浮現

[Verse 4: Paul McCartney]

Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout

在圓環道路島內一處隱密的角落

A pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray

一位漂亮的護士正兜售著她托盤內的罌粟花

And though she feels as if she's in a play

或許她看起來很假

She is anyway

但他無所不在

[Verse 5: Paul McCartney]

In Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer

Penny Lane的理髮師正在對一位客戶賣弄技巧

We see the banker sitting, waiting for a trim

And then the fireman rushes in

From the pouring rain

Very strange

There beneath the blue suburban skies

I sit, and meanwhile back

只要我一坐下，熟悉的景象立即浮現

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes

There beneath the blue suburban skies
