Five Minutes - Gretchen Peters

Five Minutes - Gretchen Peters

I've got five minutes to sneak a cigarette
我有五分钟的时间来抽一支烟
Five minutes to myself
只属于自己的五分钟
Back behind the screen door of Andy's luncheonette
在安迪的小餐馆的纱门后
And I ain't got time to worry 'bout my health
暂时把健康抛诸脑后
My boss Andy says I smoke myself to death
我的老板安迪说我迟早要把自己抽死
Andy he reminds me some of you
安迪让我想起了你
Back when you were Romeo and I was Juliet
风华正茂的我们
West Texas Capulet and Montague
被人们称为西德州的罗密欧与朱丽叶
Now I don't think too much about you anymore
现在我已很少想起你了
We weren't much more than kids
我们俩除了孩子也没有留下什么
It was nearly twenty years ago
毕竟已经将近二十年的时间了
I shut and locked that door
让我早已关上了心门
Now I've got five minutes
我有这五分钟的时间
Not much time to reminisce
却没什么时间留给回忆
Most nights I come home from work and I pour a glass of wine
下班以后回到家 我总要喝上几杯
Sometimes it's three or four before I stop
小酌几杯便能让我入睡
And Jessie makes a sandwich if I sleep through suppertime
有时错过了晚饭 杰西会给我做个三明治
And she leaves me on the couch to sleep it off
然后独自去沙发上睡
Now Jessie just turned 17 and she's wild as she can be
杰西已经17岁了 桀骜不驯
And there ain't nothin' I can do
对此我真的无能为力
Last weekend she ran off to meet a boy in Tennessee
上周末她离家出走去和一个田纳西男孩约会
Just like I used to run to you
一如当年的我奋不顾身奔向你
I gave her hell when she came home this afternoon
今天下午回到家 我俩大吵了一架
Mascara runnin' down her face
睫毛膏混着眼泪从她脸上滑落
Seems like history repeats itself
世事兜兜转转
And it ain't up to you
却不遂人意
And in five minutes
顷刻之间
Your whole life can change
人生便改变
Andy he's good to me
安迪对我很好
And I can see it in his eyes
从他的眼神能够看出来
He'd love to take your place
她想取代你在我心中的位置
But somethin' deep inside me
但对于情爱
Just withers up and dies
我已心灰意冷
To make love to him
片刻的欢愉
And only see your face
却只看到你的脸
Somehow I've let myself go gently down the stream
我想让自己如释重负
A fine example I have set
哪怕是为自己做个样子
Between the working and the livin'
不管是工作还是生活
And the ghosts that haunt my dreams
你总是萦绕在我心头
I've got five minutes
片刻的放松
And I'm gonna smoke this cigarette
还是抽支烟吧
