about

Midtown Manhattan in New York City is a constant surround-sound experience. But, amidst all the noise are sounds that have stayed in my mind since moving away in 2012. Boat horns that served as my Sunday alarm clock after being out all night drinking, garbage trucks and buses that began their day as my day was ending, street preachers who came and went without rhyme or reason, and music in the streets and subways. In Me is about the sounds that have lingered in me, and the sounds that are the soul of New York for me. Thus, the preachers on the corners, in their own way, help save my soul.


行走在纽约曼哈顿中城能给人持续不断的环绕声般的声响体验。2012年我离开了那里，但所有的声音都一直留在我的脑海中。船鸣是我的周日宿醉后的闹钟，清晨垃圾车和公共汽车从我的一天结束时开始了，漫无目的来往街头的传教士，以及街道和地铁上的音乐...《In Me 》是那些在我心中徘徊的声音，以及对我来说纽约灵魂的声音。由此，那些曾走在拐角处的传教士，以这样的方式拯救了我的灵魂。

lyrics

Yeah I’d hear those boats
我可以听见河上
out on the river
有船
Hear em’ from my room
从我的房间里
Horns would blow
船的汽笛
Just to let me know
告诉我
that it’s Sunday afternoon
这是周日的下午

And I’d hear those trash trucks roll out
我可以听见凌晨4点
about 4am
收垃圾的卡车离开
Half past 5
五点半
overpass be alive
桥上就热闹起来
Those Jersey buses
那些去新泽西的大巴
rollin’ west again
又向西驶去

And they still
这些声音一直
walk with me
跟随着我
No matter where I go
不管我走到哪里

I’d hear him preachin’
我可以听见他在布道
down on the corner, yellin’ “You’re all just a bunch of worms!”
在街角喊着“你们不过是一群虫子”
Pass on by
经过的人
Just a glance and smile
只给他一瞥和勉强的微笑
Lord not a
甚至没人跟他
Not a single word
说一个字

Then I heard he died
后来听说他死了
one cold night
在一个寒冷的夜
up by the 79 Slip
在79街的河岸
Then I heard he was preachin’ again on 110
后来我听说他又在110街布道
I guess Saint John must a
我猜一定是圣约翰教堂
Must a took him in
接收了他

And he still
他一直
walk with me
跟随着我
It’s still
一直
Lord you’re still
一直在
in me
我的记忆里

And you’re still in my memory
你一直在我的记忆里
Still in my memory
在我的记忆里
And those
汽笛
horns still blow
还在鸣
Those big wheels still roll
大巴的车轮仍在转
The music still plays
音乐仍在响起
And those corners
那些街角
can save
能拯救
your soul
你的灵魂
Your soul
你的灵魂
And those corners
那些街角
can save
能拯救
your soul
你的灵魂
Save your soul
你的灵魂
And those corners
那些街角
They can save
能拯救
Your soul
你的灵魂
Hey those corners
那些街角
they can save
能拯救
your soul
你的灵魂
