Learnin' The Blues

The tables are empty,
桌子是空的
The dance floor deserted,
舞台被遺棄了
You play the same love song,
你演奏著同樣的情歌
It's the tenth time you've heard it.
你聽著它，已近十遍

那是一個開始
That's the beginning,
無數的線索之一
Just one of the clues,
你已經上了你的第一課了
You've had your first lesson,
在練習這憂鬱的布魯斯中
In learnin' the blues.
你點燃的香煙

一隻又一隻
The cigarettes you light,
在你失去你愛人的時候
One after the other,
這並不能幫助你忘記他
Won't help you forget him,
你只好燃燒自己
When your losing your lover.
去捕捉那你不能失去的火炬

但你已在正軌上了
You're only burning,
從練習這憂鬱的布魯斯中
A torch you can't lose,
當你於人群之外
But you're on the right track,
憂鬱常常譏笑著你
For learnin' the blues.
當你於人群之外

這憂鬱的布魯斯縈繞奚落著你的回憶
When you're out in a crowd,
你無法入眠的夜
The blues will taunt you constantly,
你哭泣的整晚
When you're out in a crowd,
但你忘不了他
The blues will haunt your memory.
很快你甚至放棄嘗試

你會走在地板上
The nights when you don't sleep,
脫掉你的鞋子
The whole night you're cryin',
當你正心傷
But you can not forget him,
你會從這憂鬱的布魯斯中學習到
Soon you even stop tryin',

You'll walk the floor,
And wear out your shoes,
When you feel your heart break,
You're learnin' the blues .
