- The Lumineers
- I was Cleopatra,I was young and an actress
我曾是埃及豔后，年輕氣盛，演技矚目
When you knelt by my mattress,and asked for my hand
當你半跪在我的床褥旁，問我是否願意將此生交付於我
But I was sad you asked it,
但我對此悲痛不已
as I laid in a black dress
我身著黑色衣裙時
With my father in a casket,
父親已長眠而去
I had no plans
我毫無準備
yeah…
是的…
..
..
And I left the footprints,
留下腳印
the mud stained on the carpet
地毯上沾滿污泥
And it hardened like my heart did when you left town
當你從小鎮離去，我心若日久硬化的泥垢
But I must admit it,
我不禁承認
that I would marry you in an instant
願盡快將此生託付於你
Damn your wife, Id be your mistress just to have you around
不理會你已有妻子，即使我為情婦，也只為在你身旁
But I was late for this, late for that,
但一切都已來不及，無法挽回
late for the love of my life
此生所愛已離去
And when I die alone, when I die alone,
當我孤獨逝去，離開世間
when I die Ill be on time
當我如期長眠
Aye …
真的會如此…
..
..
And the church discouraged,
教會也無能為力
any lust that burned within me
任何在我心中的慾望都將燃燒殆盡
Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held out
我的肉體，那曾是我僅有的資本，但我不願再據為己有
When a mans dejected
當人處悲痛時
Well he can fight for your affections
他可以為你的感情所鬥爭
Or he can act like he never met you
亦或去假裝從未遇見
And even go to the ground
甚至直到一切化為虛有
But I was late for this, late for that,
但我已無法趕上，無法挽回
late for the love of my life
一生所愛不復存在
And when I die alone, when I die alone,
當我孤獨逝去，離開世間
when I die Ill be on time
當我如期長眠
Yeah …
是的…
..
..
So I drive a taxi,
所以當我駕駛出租車
and the traffic distracts me
交通使我無法專心
From thestrangers in my backseat,
後座的陌生人
they remind me of you
他們會提醒我
But its all a daydream
但這都是白日夢
When its you whos behind me
當是你在我身後的時候
But you never recognize me appraising you
你從未意識到我是如何評價你的
And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce
上天給予我的禮物只有誕生和離別
But Ive read this script and the costume fits ,
我已讀過這個劇本，試過服裝
so Ill play my part
所以我只去演繹自己的人生段落
..
..
And there are nights I wake up
夜裡醒來
To the sound of a door shut
閉門聲傳入耳中
And I search on the floor
我走在地板上摸索
But I find no tracks
但無法追踪到痕跡
And the nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom
著白鞋的護士把我帶回到客房
Its a bed and a bathroom
單床，浴室
and a place to relax
和休憩之地
..
..
But I wont be late for this, late for that,
但我再也不會錯過
late for the love of my life
錯過我一生所愛
And when I die alone, when I die alone,
當我孤獨逝去，離開世間
when I die Ill be on time
我定會如期長眠
Aye…
我一定會的…
