Alec Benjamin - Must Have Been The Wind 風搞的鬼

隱隱約約夜裡傳來妳的哭聲
擔心的我輾轉難眠
希望妳明白有苦能來找我說
而在那之前我會說
夜裡的聲音
一定是風搞的鬼

I heard glass shatter on the wall

從樓上的公寓傳來

In the apartment above mine

牆上玻璃碎裂的聲音

At first, I thought that I was dreaming

一開始還以為是場夢

But then I heard the voice of a girl

接著聽見女生的聲音

And it sounded like she’d been crying

聽起來哭了好一陣子

Now I'm too worried to be sleeping

現在我擔心到睡不著

So I took the elevator to the second floor

所以我搭電梯到了二樓

Walked down the hall and then I knocked upon her door

穿過走廊，上前敲門

She opened up, and I asked about the things I've been hearing

她來應門，我問起聽到的聲音

She said, "I think your ears are playing tricks on you"

她說：大概是幻聽吧

Sweater zipped up to her chin

毛衣領子拉得很高

"Thanks for caring, sir, that's nice of you

謝謝你的關心，先生，你人真好

But I have to go back in

但我得進去了

Wish I could tell you about the noise

我也希望能和你解釋那些噪音

But I didn't hear a thing"

但我什麼也沒聽見

She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind

她說：大概是風吧，大概是風聲

Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"

風聲，應該是風聲搞的鬼

She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind

她說：大概是風吧，大概是風聲

Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"

風聲，應該是風聲搞的鬼

So I was laying on the floor of my room

我躺在房間的地板上

Cold concrete on my back

感受著背後冷冰冰的水泥

No, I just couldn't shake the feeling

不，無法忽視我的直覺

I didn't want to intrude 'cause I knew

我不想雞婆干涉

That I didn’t have all the facts

因為我並不知道來龍去脈

But I couldn’t bear the thought of leaving her

但我又不忍心拋下她

So I took the elevator to the second floor

所以我搭電梯來到了二樓

Walked down the hall and then I knocked upon her door

穿過走廊，上前敲門

She opened up, and I asked about the things I’ve been hearing

她開門後，我問起聽見的怪聲

She said, "I think your ears are playing tricks on you"

她說：我想是你幻聽吧

Sweater zipped up to her chin

將毛衣領拉高

"Thanks for caring, sir, that's nice of you

謝謝你的關心，先生你人真好

But I have to go back in

但我得進門了

Wish I could tell you about the noise

也希望能回答你的問題

But I didn't hear a thing"

但我什麼也沒聽到

She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind

她說：大概是風吧，大概是風搞的鬼

Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"

大概是風吧，大概是風搞的鬼

She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind

她說：大概是風聲，大概是風搞的鬼

Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"

大概是風聲，大概是風搞的鬼

Aim my boombox at the roof, I'm playing "Lean On Me"

把喇叭放在屋頂，播著「依靠我」

Just so that she knows that she can lean on me

讓她知道可以依靠我

And when she hears the words, I hope she knows she’ll be okay

當她聽到歌詞，我希望她知道一切會沒事的

Aim my boombox at the roof, I'm playing "Lean On Me"

把喇叭放在屋頂，播放「依靠我」

Just so that she knows that she can lean on me

讓她知道隨時可以依靠我

And when she hears the words, I know exactly what I'll say

當她聽到歌詞時，我會這樣告訴她

"Promise I'm not playing tricks on you

我保證不是在玩什麼把戲

You're always welcome to come in

妳隨時都歡迎來訪

You could stay here for an hour or two

妳可以停留幾個小時

If you ever need a friend"

若是需要朋友的陪伴

"We can talk about the noise, when you're ready, but 'til then"

當妳準備好時，我們可以好好談談那些噪音

I'll say, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind

但在那之前，我會說大概是風吧，大概是風搞的鬼

Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"

大概是風聲，大概是風搞的鬼

I'll say, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind

我會說大概是風吧，大概是風搞的鬼

Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"

大概是風吧，大概是風搞的鬼
