(Ah, the Apple Trees) When the World Was Young - Aretha Franklin (艾瑞莎·弗兰克林)

It isn't by chance I happen to be a boulevardier

The toast of Paris

Over the noise the talk and smoke
喧嚣鼎沸，烟雾弥漫
I'm good for a laugh a drink or a joke
我很风趣，爱喝酒，爱开玩笑
I walk in a room party or a ball
我走进房间，派对或舞会
"Come sit over here" somebody will call
就会有人喊，来这边坐
A drink for my friends a drink for them all
一杯为朋友而干，一杯为众人而干
But how many times I stop and recall
但是我多次停下来回想
Ah the apple trees blossoms in the breeze
啊，那些苹果树，那些在微风中摇曳的花朵
That we walked among lying in the hay
我们从中穿行，躺在干草堆上
Games we used to play while the rounds were sung

Only yesterday when the world was young
就在昨天，当这个世界依旧年轻之时
Wherever I go they mention my name
无论我身处何处，他们都提到我的名字
And that in itself is some sort of fame
小有名气
"Come by for a drink we're having a game"

Wherever I go I'm so glad I came
无论我身处何处，我很高兴自己的到来
The talk is quite gay the company's fine
谈资非常多彩，伙伴非常友善
There's laughter and lights and glamor and wine

And thousands of men some who are mine
和成群的男人，其中一些是我的朋友
But often my eyes see a different shine
但是通常我的眼中会闪烁出不一样的光芒
Are the apple trees sunlit memories
是那些明媚的苹果树记忆
Where the hammock swung
在吊床上摇摆
On our backs we lie looking at the sky
平躺着望向天空
Till the stars were strung
直到星星开始闪耀
Only yesterday when the world was young
就在昨天，当这个世界依旧年轻之时
