歌詞翻譯 - John Mayer - Room For Squares - 3x5

前言：

前奏有點急促，小調中帶點迷幻。
迷幻給人矇矓，矇矓傳來的是曖昧。

後來副歌轉大調反而覺得輕快，
看來是樂觀了，也許願望就要達成了。

很久以前不知道3 by 5是什麼意思，
查過才知道它是替代相片的說法。

在現代仍然懷舊的洗出照片，別俱意義呢！
寄給自己的好友來連繫情感吧！

翻譯：

3x5
三乘五相片

I'm writing you to
我正寫給妳
Catch you up on places I've been
讓妳知道我去的地方
You held this letter
妳拿著這封信
Probably got excited, but there's nothing else inside it
也許很興奮，但沒其它的在裡面

Didn't have a camera by my side this time
這次我沒帶相機在身邊
Hoping I would see the world with both my eyes
希望我能用雙眼看這世界
Maybe I will tell you all about it when I'm
也許我會告訴妳全部行程，當我
In the mood to lose my way with words
有興致用文字迷失去向

Today skies are painted colors of a cowboy's cliche'
今天天空塗上了牛仔老調的色彩
And strange how clouds that look like mountains in the sky
而奇怪的是，怎麼看起來像是空中山峰的雲彩
Are next to mountains anyway
就是在山旁

Didn't have a camera by my side this time
Hoping I would see the world with both my eyes
Maybe I will tell you all about it when
I'm in the mood to lose my way
But let me say
但讓我來說

You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes
妳本該用妳自己的雙眼看過日出
It brought me back to life
那帶我重生
You'll be with me next time I go outside
妳下次將會跟我一起出去
Just no more 3x5's
就不再需要三乘五相片

Guess you had to be there
猜妳一定要到那
Guess you had to be with me
猜妳一定要跟著我
Today I finally overcame
今天我終於成功
Trying to fit the world inside a picture frame
試著把世界塞進畫框裡
Maybe I will tell you all about it when I'm in the mood to
Lose my way but let me say

You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes
It brought me back to life
You'll be with me next time I go outside
No more 3x5's
Just no more 3x5's

=====

後記：

這一句真的很難翻：
And strange how clouds that look like mountains in the sky are next to mountains anyway。
有沒有英文高手可以幫忙一下下？

Genius這網站是說，你想找的其實就是在一開始的地方。
也就是說「眾里尋他千百度，驀然回首，那人卻在，燈火闌珊處」的英文版嗎？

先記著吧！
