Pada pagi hari dari film Bogart
In a country where they turn back time
Di negara tempat mereka berbelok kembali
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Anda pergi berjalan-jalan di antara kerumunan seperti Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime
Merenungkan kejahatan
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Dia keluar dari matahari dengan gaun sutra
Like a watercolour in the rain
Seperti cat air di tengah hujan
Don't bother asking for explanations
Jangan repot-repot meminta penjelasan
She'll just tell you that she came
Dia akan memberitahu Anda bahwa dia datang
In the year of the cat.
Di tahun kucing.
She doesn't give you time for questions
Dia tidak memberi Anda waktu untuk pertanyaan
As she locks up your arm in hers
Saat dia mengunci lenganmu di bibirnya
And you follow 'till your sense of which direction
Dan Anda ikuti ‘sampai rasa arah Anda
Completely disappears
Benar-benar lenyap
By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls
Dengan dinding ubin biru di dekat kios pasar
There's a hidden door she leads you to
Ada pintu tersembunyi yang dituntunnya
These days, she says, I feel my life
Hari-hari ini, katanya, aku merasakan hidupku
Just like a river running through
Sama seperti sungai yang mengalir melewatinya
The year of the cat
Tahun kucing
She looks at you so cooly
Dia menatapmu begitu dingin
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea
Dan matanya bersinar seperti bulan di laut
She comes in incense and patchouli
Dia datang dalam kemenyan dan nilam
So you take her, to find what's waiting inside
Jadi Anda membawanya, untuk menemukan apa yang menunggu di dalam
The year of the cat.
Tahun kucing.
Well morning comes and you're still with her
Baik pagi datang dan kau masih bersamanya
And the bus and the tourists are gone
Dan bus dan para turis hilang
And you've thrown away the choice and lost your ticket
Dan Anda telah membuang pilihan dan kehilangan tiket Anda
So you have to stay on
Jadi kamu harus tetap di sini
But the drum-beat strains of the night remain
Tapi ketegangan drum-beat malam tetap ada
In the rhythm of the new-born day
Dalam irama hari lahir baru
You know sometime you're bound to leave her
Anda tahu kapan Anda pasti akan meninggalkannya
BUt for now you're going to stay
BUt untuk sekarang kamu akan tinggal
In the year of the cat.
Di tahun kucing.
