Good Night, Sydney

Give me just one more day in Sydney

To climb Observatory Hill and watch sunset touch the shore.

To see the Opera House gleaming in coastal light,

And pull funny faces at Luna Park’s smile so bright.

To lie on Bondi’s golden sands and hear the ocean sigh,

And follow the Coogee trail where endless waters lie.

如果能再多给我一天时间

我会再去Observatory Hill用目光追逐这个城市的海港日落

会再去看一眼夹在蓝色中熠熠生辉的歌剧院

会再去luna park的大门下和它比鬼脸

会再去一次Bondi beach躺着听潮汐

会再走一遍Coogee routine那无边的海岸线

To hide in your university, lost in a quiet dream,

To sit on Botanic Garden where distant waters gleam,

Or crunch on chips in Hyde Park beneath the shaded green.

To walk the Art Gallery halls till every piece is seen,

And sip that fruit tea in Chinatown, so sweet yet so sincere,

To ride the tram from Circular Quay as evening draws near,

To linger at Lavender Bay while twilight turns to blue,

Listening to ship horns sing as the Harbour Bridge glides into view,

And take that sunset kayak ride I failed to pursue

会再进一次悉大，躲在教学楼的拱廊里遐想

会再去一回Botanic Garden坐在斜坡上和海鸥拌嘴，

在Hyde Park的树荫下吃薯片

会再进一回Art Gallery把所有作品看遍

会再吃一次唐人街那家看起来很甜却意外正宗的果茶店

会再坐一次从Circular Quey出发回去的铛铛车

会傍晚坐在Lavender Bay看蓝调下的海港大桥与船笛相吟

会再报名一次未能参加的日落kayaking

We always think time so long so long

But she will flow, will flow

Until we wake to say so long so long

Whatever will be, will be...

We whisper that tomorrow waits, pretending not to grieve,

Never knowing when again our tapestry we'll weave.

Just give me one more day in Sydney

Only one more day for me.

你总觉得时间还久，还久，醒来却已然该道别

你总说来日方长，勿念，却不知下次何时再见

暮然回首，却已夜色将至

既然如此，祝你晚安，悉尼
