All of My Friends Were There 歌詞
TO A FRIEND
致一個朋友
My big day, it was the biggest day of my life.
這是一個大日子,是我人生中最重要的日子
It was the summit of my long career,
那是我漫長生涯的頂點
But I felt so down, and I drank too much beer,
但是我感到很沮喪,而且我還喝了太多的啤酒
And my manager said that I should not appear.
我的經理還叫我趕緊消失
I walked out onto the stage and started to speak.
我走上台開始講話
The first night I've missed for a couple of years,
這是我幾年來錯過的第一個夜晚
I explained to the crowed and they started to jeer,
我向人群解釋但他們開始笑我
And just when I wanted no one to be there,
就在我不想有人在場的時候
All of my friends were there.
我所有的朋友都在那裡
Not just my friends, but their best friends too.
不僅僅是我的朋友,還有他們最好的朋友也都在那裡
All of my friends were there to stand and stare,
我所有的朋友都站在那盯著我
Say what they may, all of their friends need not stay.
不管怎麼說,他們所有的朋友不必留下來
Those who laughed were not friends anyway.
那些笑我的人根本就算不上我朋友了
All of my friends were there to stand and stare.
我所有的朋友都站在那盯著我
Days went by, I walked around dressed in a disguise.
日子一天天過去,我喬裝打扮出去轉轉
I wore a mustache and I parted my hair,
我留著小鬍子,梳了個中分
And gave the impression that I did not care,
給別人一種我不在乎的印象
But oh, the embarrassment, oh, the dispair.
但是還是掩飾不了我的尷尬
Came the day, helped with a few last glasses of gin,
終於有一天,我幹掉了最後幾杯琴酒
I nervously mounted the stage once again,
緊張不安的再次走上舞台
Got through my performance and no one complained,
順利的結束了我的表演,沒有一個觀眾發牢騷
Thank God I can go back to normal again.
感謝上帝!我又回歸正常了!
I went to that old cafe,
我去了那家老咖啡館
Where I had been in much happier days,
那家我曾經有過快樂回憶的老店
And all of my friends were there,
我的朋友也全都在那
And no one cared.
也沒一個人在意我
Say what they may, all of my friends were there.
不管怎麼說,我的所有朋友都在那
Not just my friends, but their best friends too.
不僅僅是我的朋友,還有他們最好的朋友也都在那裡
All of my friends were there,
我的所有朋友都在那
Now I don't care.
現在我不在乎了
