And who is this man standing at my door? 谁是这个人站在我家门口？

Like a rolling pebble on the deepest ocean floor 像最深的海底滚动的卵石

Life has rubbed me smooth. 生活已经顺利擦了我。

But you cup me in your hands 但是，你一杯我在你的手中

And you roll me in your pocket. 和你滚我在你的口袋里。

How many men, unhappy, crammed inside their skin, 有多少人，不开心，自己的皮肤里面挤着，

Wordless to explain, stand at someone's door? 无言的解释，站在别人的门吗？

Is there kindness in his face? 有恩情，在他的脸上？

A good man or a weak man? 一个好人还是一个软弱的人？

There are horses in the room pulling me through fences 有马在房间里透过围墙拉着我

I throw the window open 我把窗户打开

And the light hits the pavement. 而照射到路面。

Come in, come in, whoever you are. 进来吧，进来，不管你是谁。

I will know you, if only from afar. 我就知道你，如果仅仅从远方。

   

Once I saw a dry dock 有一次，我看到了一个干船坞

And the rustling hulks of ships and trawlers 船舶及拖网渔船的沙沙声废船

With a wind that could cut steel 有风，可以减少钢

It was so cold. 它是如此的寒冷。

   

And I don't have to think that hard 而我没有想到那么难

And it all comes flooding back. 而这一切都汹涌而至。

There is so much that neither of us will ever know. 有这么多，没有人会知道。

Come in, come in, whoever you are. 进来吧，进来，不管你是谁。
