Written by：Elvis Costello

The snitch the snoop the tattletale
那些告密者 窥探者 搬弄是非之人
Lead a threadbare up stairs
引领着衣衫褴褛的我上楼
Adieu my little ballyhoo
再见了 我亲爱的小闹剧
You broke my heart in two
你将我的心撕成两半
And now I haunt the bars and scent those trite affairs
如今我流连酒吧 嗅着那些陈腐韵事
She went home to gather her comb
她回家取梳子时
And caught him unawares
撞见他猝不及防
And there was her man enjoying the lay of the land
她的男人正悠然享受这片温柔乡
He took a walk in the dark with a dish from the stand
他端着餐盘 独自漫步在昏暗里
Girls and their creations
女孩们与她们的精心装扮
Tight in the brightest grenadine
在艳丽的石榴红中摇曳生姿
But I'd take all that I've seen
但我愿用所有见过的风景
For a slow drag with Josephine
换与约瑟芬的慢舞时光
Josephine Josephine
约瑟芬啊 约瑟芬
But I'd trade all that I've seen
我宁愿舍弃一切所见
For a slow drag with Josephine
换与约瑟芬的慢舞时光
Gavotte garrotes cotillions and slow arabesques
加沃特舞 绞刑架舞 沙龙舞与缓慢的阿拉贝斯克
Drum rolls and farandoles were all made in jest
鼓点轮奏 法兰多拉舞 都不过是玩笑一场
But when you make that move
但当你翩然起舞
I can't resist
我便无法抗拒
When will you declare your armistice
何时你才愿宣布休战
Josephine Josephine
约瑟芬啊 约瑟芬
But I'd trade all that I've seen
我宁愿舍弃一切所见
For a slow drag with Josephine
换与约瑟芬的慢舞时光
In another time and place a different fate was cast
在另一个时空里 命运本可改写
He tried to skeddle daddle do
他笨拙地尝试邀舞
She might have slapped him
或许会换来她的掌掴
Just for saying grant one more chance before you pass
只为求得临终前最后一次机会
Then curse the nurse that named me the first or bury me at last
诅咒那赐我姓名的护士 或将我永久埋葬
And in three quarter time
在这四三拍的旋律中
The true and the false
真实与虚幻交织
Dancing the hesitation waltz
跳着犹豫的华尔兹
Then comes the flirtation and temptation
调情与诱惑接踵而至
Hip hip hooray
欢呼雀跃
Listen to what I say
请听我诉说
Then you can take it away
然后你就能带走这一切
