Nightswimming
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago,
turned around backwards so the windshield shows.
Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse.
Still, it's so much clearer.
I forgot my shirt at the water's edge.
The moon is low tonight.
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
I'm not sure all these people understand.
It's not like years ago,
The fear of getting caught,
of recklessness and water.
They cannot see me naked.
These things, they go away,
replaced by everyday.
Nightswimming, remembering that night.
September's coming soon.
I'm pining for the moon.
And what if there were two
Side by side in orbit
Around the fairest sun?
That bright, tight forever drum
could not describe nightswimming.
You, I thought I knew you.
You I cannot judge.
You, I thought you knew me,
this one laughing quietly underneath my breath.
Nightswimming.
The photograph reflects,
every streetlight a reminder.
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night, deserves a quiet
night.
夜泳
【美国】R.E.M.
（1980~ ）

夜泳理应享受这寂静的夜晚。
照片在仪表盘上，摄于很多年以前，
翻过来，贴在挡风玻璃上，
每一盏街灯都照出它反转的影像。
而且，更清晰了。
我的衬衣忘在了水边。
今夜，月亮这样低垂。
夜泳理应享受这寂静的夜晚。
这些，我不敢肯定人们都能明白。
如今已不像很多年前，
现在对冒险，对水，对被捉
怀着太深的恐惧。
他们不敢看我裸体。
那些已经过去，
一天又一天，把这些旧事置换。
夜泳，记住那个夜。
转眼九月又到了。
我渴望月亮。
万一有两个月亮怎么办
在轨道上一个挨着一个
环绕着，公正无比的太阳？
那明亮的、紧绷的、永远的鼓
也难以将那夜泳形容。
你，我想我认得你。
但是我不能断定。
你，我想你认识我。
这个藏在我呼吸下面无声微笑的人。
夜泳。
照片反射着，
每一盏街灯都是暗示。
夜泳理应享受这寂静的夜晚，
理应享受这寂静的夜晚。
