我喜欢这首歌，喜欢和莎莫的500天，今天有兴致翻译了下。
（一）
Oh girl I don't know all the reasons why,
嘿女孩，我不知道为什么（我们会分手）
I found the answer lookin' in your eye,
但我想我在你的眼里找到了答案
I go out walking all day long,
我出门闲逛了整整一天
Take away this lonely man soon he will be gone,
嘿，其实我不再感到那么难受了
Cause I'll tell you everything about living free,
我想告诉你（在失去了你之后），我过得其实挺开心的
Yes I can see you girl can you see me,
对啊，我们都能彼此都能看见对方
You don't need to know what I do all day,
但你并不需要知道我今天做了什么
It's as much as I know watch it waste away,
因为日子就是这样一天天过去了啊
Cause I'll tell you everything about living free,
Yes I can see you girl can you see me,
（二）
Go and see the sorcerer look into a ball,看被封印在水晶球里的男法师
You may find the answer written on the wall,
你会发现在墙上的答案
The left one was a dancer can you see the answer, Oh
你能看到了最后的答案吗，就在那个跳舞的人身上
（三）
Put her in a mansion on top of the hill,
（嘿，哥们儿）把你们的家建在山顶上吧——她喜欢这样
Please don't make her do things against her will,
不要逼她做她不爱做的事儿
I found something special I don't know why,
我也不知道为什么我会知道这些
Looking into her pretty little eye,
当看着她的美丽的眼睛的时候
Cause I'll tell you everything about living free
我知道，其实我是多么的自由
看到一种解释是说这歌是一种想表白的歌，还有一种解释是一首失恋后的歌。
我更倾向于后面那种，无论是电影里，还是歌词意思上。
第一段在不停地重复一些话；
第二段里被封印在水晶球内的魔法师和跳舞的人，算是两种意境，两种比喻（不写透）；
第三段，刚开始我还不懂，看了一段评论，才明白，好苦涩。
reference：
From whatever perspective Wolfmother was adopting, he was taking on first-person of being a Vagabond. At the beginning of the song when he says "this is a song about innocence lost", he is referring to the girl he is love with. No, she wasn't raped. Trust me; if she was raped, we would know by the tone of the song, which doesn't suggest that at all. He seems to refer most frequently to the connection he feels when he looks "into her pretty little eye" or "Yes, girl I can see you, can you see me?" Maybe they have known each other for a long time and have felt a long-life connection until they grew parted their ways? He saying he can still feel the connection by saying "I can see you". He recognizes her for entirely what she is and nothing else, and he's wondering if she can see him too. He has found wisdom ("Go and see the sorcerer look into the ball, you might the answer written on the wall, the left was a dancer, can you see the answer") and freedom ("I'll tell you everything about being free") in being a vagabond, and he wants the same kind of freedom for the girl he loves. But by the lack of response from her in the song, he seems to insinuate that is her response. Maybe this entire song is only what he wishes he could say to her? When he says, "put in a mansion on top of the hill, please don't make her do things against her will", it sounds like he's telling someone what to do. Maybe her lover/husband? At this point, the song has taken a swing; at the beginning it sounded like he was talking to her, and at the end it sounds like he's giving someone advice for how to take care of her...
Well, whatever this song means, it has inspired me to become a vagabond! You may never hear from me again! :D
