Lush Life (Live) - Kurt Elling (库特·艾灵)

I used to visit all the very gay places
我曾看过所有美景
Those come-what-may places
那些美景终将被取代
Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
那里是人们生活之轮的轴心
To get the feel of life from jazz and cocktails
人们从爵士乐和鸡尾酒中感知生命
The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces
我认识的那些女孩脸上写满悲伤 阴郁和苍白
With distingue gay traces that used to be there
但是也曾有过高贵的痕迹
You could see where they'd been washed away
你可以看到那些痕迹是从何处被洗刷掉的
By too many through the day, twelve o'clock tales
从那太多的午夜故事中就可以看出来
Then you came along with your siren song
你带着迷人的歌声而来
To tempt me to madness
让我陷入了疯狂之中
I thought for awhile that your poignant smile
我想了一会儿你心酸的微笑
Was tinged with the sadness of a great love for me
深深的爱意中夹杂着淡淡的悲伤
Ah yes, I was wrong
是的 我错了
Again, I was wrong
我又错了
Life is lonely again and only last year
我的生活再次陷入孤独中 只是在去年
Everything seemed so sure
一切似乎都还是那么确定
Now life is awful again
现在 我的生活又变得糟糕
A trough full of hearts could only be a bore
我的心也已经千疮百孔
A week in Paris could ease the bite of it
在巴黎度过的一周 会让我的伤痛减轻一点
All I care is to smile in spite of it
我只想去肆无忌惮地微笑
I'll forget you, I will while yet you are still
我会忘了你 虽然你还在我心里
Burning inside my brain romance is mush
爱情在我心里折磨着我 让人如此感伤
Stifling those who strive
这种努力让人感到窒息
So I'll live a lush life in some small dive
在这个令人沉溺的世界中 我将过上意乱情迷的生活
And there I'll be
我将会在这里
While I rot with the rest of those
尽管我会与剩余的那些人一起堕落
Whose lives are lonely too
他们都是孤独之人
