Absolutely Sweet Marie

”six white horses“這一句真的不知道怎麼翻，查了資料，有的人說這表示靈車？有的人說這是代表華麗的馬車？

根據歌詞的內容，我自己是覺得，狄倫應該是指，女人承諾男人會乘坐著華麗的馬車(功成名就)回來找他！

大概是這樣吧？哈


Well, your railroad gate, you know I just can't jump it
唉呀，妳鐵道上的閘門，妳知道我就是無法跳過去
Sometimes it gets so hard, you see
有時候它變得如此地困難，妳明白的
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
我只能坐在這裡用我的喇叭吹打著拍子
With all these promises you left for me
伴隨著所有妳留下來給我的承諾
But where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
但今晚妳在哪裡，可愛的瑪麗？

Well, I waited for you when I was half sick
唉呀，我等待著妳，當我半病時
Yes, I waited for you when you hated me
是的，我等待著妳，當妳恨我時
Well, I waited for you inside of the frozen traffic
唉呀，我在凍結的車陣中等待著妳
When you knew I had some other place to be
當妳知道我還有一些其他的地方可以等妳
Now, where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
現在，今晚妳在哪裡，可愛的瑪麗？

Well, anybody can be
唉呀，任何人都可以
just like me, obviously
像我一樣，很明顯地
But then, now again,
然而，另一方面，
not too many can be like you, fortunately.
並非有太多人可以像妳一樣，如此幸運地

Well, six white horses that you did promise
唉呀，妳會乘著六匹白馬回來，妳曾作過承諾
Were fin'lly delivered down to the penitentiary
最後承諾卻被丟入了拘留所裡
But to live outside the law, you must be honest
但要活在法律之外，妳必須誠實
I know you always say that you agree
我知道妳總是會說妳很同意
But where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
但今晚妳在哪裡，可愛的瑪麗？

Well, I don't know how it happened
唉呀，我不知道這怎麼會發生
But the river-boat captain, he knows my fate
但河上小艇的船長，他知道我的命運
But ev'rybody else, even yourself
只是其他每一個人，甚至妳自己
They're just gonna have to wait.
他們只能繼續等待
Well, I got the fever down in my pockets
唉呀，我的口袋開始退燒
The Persian drunkard, he follows me
波斯人酒鬼，他跟著我
Yes, I can take him to your house but I can't unlock it
是的，我可以帶他去妳的房子，但我不能上鎖
You see, you forgot to leave me with the key
妳知道的，妳忘記留給我鑰匙
Oh, where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
噢，今晚妳在哪裡，可愛的瑪麗？

Now, I been in jail when all my mail showed
現在，我待在監獄，當我所有的信件都指出
That a man can't give his address out to bad company
一個人不能把他的地址透露給差勁的伴侶
And now I stand here lookin' at your yellow railroad
而現在我站在這裡，看著妳黃色的鐵道
In the ruins of your balcony
就在妳陽台的遺跡
Wond'ring where you are tonight, sweet Marie.
想知道今晚妳在哪裡，可愛的瑪麗
