Lush Life - Nat King Cole (纳·京·高尔)

I used to visit all the very gay places

我曾看过所有美景

Those come what may places

那些美景终将被取代

Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life

那里是人们生活之轮的轴心

To get the feel of life from jazz and cocktails

人们从爵士乐和鸡尾酒中感知生命

The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces

我认识的那些女孩脸上写满悲伤 阴郁和苍白

With distingue traces that used to be there

但是也曾有过高贵的痕迹

You could see where they'd been washed away

你可以看到那些痕迹是从何处被洗刷掉的

By too many through the day twelve o'clock tales

从那太多的午夜故事中就可以看出来

Then you came along with your siren song

你带着迷人的歌声而来

To tempt me to madness

让我陷入了疯狂之中

I thought for awhile that your poignant smile

我想了一会儿你心酸的微笑

Was tinged with the sadness of a great love for me

深深的爱意中夹杂着淡淡的悲伤

Ah yes I was wrong

是的 我错了

Again I was wrong

我又错了

Life is lonely again and only last year

我的生活再次陷入孤独中 只是在去年

Everything seemed so sure

一切似乎都还是那么确定

Now life is awful again

现在 我的生活又变得糟糕

A trough full of hearts could only be a bore

我的心也已经千疮百孔

A week in Paris could ease the bite of it

在巴黎度过的一周 会让我的伤痛减轻一点

All I care is to smile in spite of it

我只想去肆无忌惮地微笑

I'll forget you I will while yet you are still

我会忘了你 虽然你还在我心里

Burning inside my brain romance is mush

爱情在我心里折磨着我 让人如此感伤

Stifling those who strive

这种努力让人感到窒息

I'll live a lush life in some small dive

在这个令人沉溺的世界中 我将过上意乱情迷的生活

And there I'll be

我将会在这里

While I rot with the rest of those

尽管我会与剩余的那些人一起堕落

Whose lives are lonely too

他们都是孤独之人
