The only time I've seen
唯一一次见到你
You was about a year ago
大约是在一年前
I was afraid to hold you
我害怕拥抱你
But I wanted you to know
但我想让你知道
I touched your tiny perfect
我触碰了你那完美的小手
Hand
手
Before I went uptown
在我离开之前
I didn't pick you up because
我没有抱起你
I'd have to put you down
因为最终还得放下你
For reasons that don't make
那些原因或许并不合理
Much sense and you won't understand
你也无法理解
I've stayed away for your first year
我选择在你第一年远离
It's sort of what I planned
这大概是我的计划
But I've been in your neighbourhood
但我曾在你附近徘徊
Sometimes just blocks away
有时只隔几条街
I didn't come to visit you
我未曾前来探望你
Because I couldn't stay
因为我无法停留
There was a baby on a plane
飞机上有个孩子
Maybe she was two
或许她两岁大
And she was smiling at me
她正对我微笑
I
我
Was not sure what to do
不知该如何回应
I've kept my distance from you
我始终与你保持距离
A year's much more than a while
一年的时间远不止片刻
And so I looked away from her
于是我避开了她的目光
Too ashamed to smile
羞愧得无法微笑
When I saw you last year
当我去年见到你时
I knew that there was no mistake
我知道一切都没有错
Amazing things can happen
奇妙的事情总会发生
Why just look what life can make
看看生活能创造什么
But life can get so hard sometimes
但有时生活也会变得如此艰难
Some feelings can't be tamed
有些情感无法驯服
And people get so angry
人们因此变得愤怒
Frightened and ashamed
恐惧与羞愧交织
You've been a sort of secret for a year
你成为我这一年的秘密
I've told but few
我只告诉了少数人
Although I'm sure that where you are
尽管我确信在你所在的地方
So many must love you
一定有许多人深爱着你
And I've passed by your window
我曾路过你的窗前
But haven't dared look in
却始终不敢向里张望
Although I know I'd love you too
尽管我知道我也会深深爱你
I'm too scared to begin
但我太害怕开始
