以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Written down here gentle reader
亲爱的读者 请听我娓娓道来
It seems too good to be true
这美好得近乎虚幻
But there's a girl in Kansas city
但在堪萨斯城有位姑娘
With my favourite tattoo
纹着我最钟爱的图案
Oh why would I lie to you
我何必对你撒谎
This was in another century
那已是上个世纪的故事
Somewhere near the summer's end
发生在夏末时分
The fahrenheit was frightening
炽热高温令人窒息
I was awake the whole weekend
整个周末我都清醒无眠
Invited to a barbecue
应邀参加烧烤派对
I found refuge in the kitchen
在厨房里寻得片刻安宁
Discussing post war U S literature
与她谈论战后美国文学
With a girl whose upper arm read fiction
那姑娘上臂纹着"虚构"字样
Like it might have been typewritten
仿佛是用打字机印刻
When I asked her it's significance
当我问起这纹身的含义
She said she sometimes took reminding
她说自己常需被提醒
What she wanted to be doing
她心中向往的生活
Whether reading it or writing
无论是阅读还是创作
I admitted admiration
我坦承内心的倾慕
For both typeface and intent
为那字体的美与深意
And said more softly sotto voce
轻声细语间又说道
I knew too well what she meant
我太懂她话中真意
She just smiled
她只是浅笑嫣然
And in a while she went
片刻之后她便离去
For a time I forgot this ever took place
有段时间我淡忘了这段际遇
She left her bottle on the bookcase
她的酒瓶还留在书架上
So though I leave you little option
虽然我让你别无选择
But to take me at my word
只能相信我的话语
I assure you dearest listener
但我向最亲爱的听众保证
That it happened as you've heard
这一切正如你所听闻
A beer left on a bookshelf
书架上的那瓶啤酒
At a bygone barbecue
在那场往昔的烧烤派对
By a girl from Kansas city
邂逅堪萨斯城的姑娘
With my favourite tattoo
纹着我最钟爱的图案
Oh why would I lie to you
我何必对你撒谎
Oh why would I lie to you
我何必对你撒谎
Oh why would I lie
我怎会欺骗
