Underneath a big clock at the corner of 5th Avenue and 22nd Street 下面在第五大道和22街的拐角处一个大时钟

I stood and waited for a girl I knew at the spot where we agreed to meet 我站着等了一个女孩，我知道，在那个地方，我们约定见面

It was four minutes of two 这是四分钟2

   

At four of two, I stood waiting for the girl 到了四两，我站在等待的女孩

I was four minutes early for the date we had planned 我是年初的日期4分钟我们原来的计划

I was planning to say I was in love with her 我正打算说我是爱上她了

Just as soon as she showed for a two o'clock date 只是当她表明了两点钟日

And the clock said four of two 和时钟所述四个两

   

At four of two, I was staring into space 到了四两，我盯着送入太空

She was not yet late, according to the clock 她还没有迟到，根据时钟

I was feeling nervous so I kept looking up 我感觉紧张，所以我一直仰视

At the clock sticking out of the side of the building 在时钟伸出建筑物的侧面的

And it still said four of two 而且它还是说4两

   

At four of two, I began to feel tired 到了四两，我开始觉得累

And I rubbed my eyes, and again I checked the time 我揉了揉自己的眼睛，而我又检查了一次

It seemed as if the sky was growing dark... 它仿佛在天空渐渐暗...

But I felt reassured when I looked at the clock 但我觉得放心时，我看了看钟

And it still said four of two 而且它还是说4两

   

I lay my head down on the sidewalk so in case she were coming I would have a better view 我躺在我的头倒在人行道所以她要来的情况下，我有一个更好的视野

But no one was there so I stretched out and closed my eyes for a second or two 但是，没有人在那里，所以我伸出并闭上了眼睛一两秒钟

It was four minutes of two 这是四分钟2

   

At once I awoke to a futuristic world 突然我惊醒了一个未来世界

There were flying cars and gigantic metal bugs 有会飞的汽车和巨大的金属缺陷

I'd grown a beard; it was long and white 我已经长出了胡子;这是漫长而白

But I knew that the girl would be coming very soon 但我知道，这个女孩将很快会来到

For though everything had changed, there was still that clock 因为虽然一切都变了，感觉还是那个时钟

And it still said four of two 而且它还是说4两
