They sat together in the park 他们坐在一起在公园

As the evening sky grew dark 随着傍晚的天空渐渐黑

She looked at him and he felt a spark 她看着他，他感到一阵火花

Tingle to his bones 刺痛了他的骨头

’Twas then he felt alone 何等然后他感到孤单

And wished that he’d gone straight 希望他已经走了直

And watched out for a simple twist of fate 并观看了在命运的简单扭曲

   

They walked along by the old canal 他们由老运河沿线走

A little confused, I remember well 有点迷糊，我记得很清楚

And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burnin’ bright 停到一个陌生的酒店，霓虹灯燃尽的亮

He felt the heat of the night 他觉得夜晚的热

Hit him like a freight train 打他像一列货运火车

Moving with a simple twist of fate 移动同命运的一个简单的扭

   

A saxophone someplace far off played 萨克斯某处遥远发挥

As she was walkin’ by the arcade 当她漫无的街机

As the light bust through a beat-up shade 通过一个节拍式遮阳光胸围

Where he was wakin’ up 在那里他被周而复始了

She dropped a coin into the cup 她扔了一枚硬币入杯

Of a blind man at the gate 一个盲人在大门口

And forgot about a simple twist of fate 被遗忘的命运的一个简单的扭

   

He woke up, the room was bare 他醒来的时候，房间里裸

He didn’t see her anywhere 他没有看到她在任何地方

He told himself he didn’t care 他告诉自己，他也没在意

Pushed the window open wide 推开窗户敞开

Felt an emptiness inside 感到一种空虚

To which he just could not relate 现在，他只是无法与

Brought on by a simple twist of fate 命运的一个简单的扭曲带来的

   

He hears the ticking of the clocks 他听到的钟表的滴答声

And walks along with a parrot that talks 和散步还有一个鹦鹉说话

Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailors all come in 狩猎她下来的海滨码头所在的水手都进来

Maybe she’ll pick him out again, how long must he wait 也许她会接他出来了，多长时间，他必须等待

One more time for a simple twist of fate 一次缘分的简单扭曲

   

People tell me it’s a sin 人们告诉我，这是一种罪过

To know and feel too much within 要知道，感觉内过多

I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring 我仍然相信她是我的双胞胎，但我失去了环

She was born in spring, but I was born too late 她出生在春天，但我出生太晚了

Blame it on a simple twist of fate 它归咎于命运的简单扭曲
