Written by：Carly Simon

My father sits at night with no lights on
父亲独坐黑夜 未点一盏灯
His cigarette glows in the dark
烟头在黑暗中明灭闪烁
The living room is still
客厅一片沉寂
I walk by no remark
我默默走过 无人言语
I tiptoe past the master bedroom where
我踮脚经过主卧门前
My mother reads her magazines
母亲正翻阅着杂志
I hear her call sweet dreams
听她道声"好梦"
But I forgot how to dream
可我已忘记如何做梦
But you say it's time we moved in together
但你说我们该同居了
And raised a family of our own you and me
组建属于你我的小家庭
Well that's the way I've always heard it should be
这就是我一直听说的所谓正轨
You want to marry me we'll marry
若你想结婚 那便结吧
My friends from college they're all married now
我那些大学同窗都已成家
They have their houses and their lawns
有了带草坪的独栋房子
They have their silent noons
守着他们寂静的正午时光
Tearful nights angry dawns
泪湿长夜 愤怒黎明
Their children hate them for the things they're not
孩子们怨恨他们未能成为的模样
They hate themselves for what they are
他们憎恶自己真实的面目
And yet they drink they laugh
却仍举杯强颜欢笑
Close the wound hide the scar
缝合伤口 掩藏伤痕
But you say it's time we moved in together
但你说我们该同居了
And raised a family of our own you and me
组建属于你我的小家庭
Well that's the way I've always heard it should be
这就是我一直听说的所谓正轨
You want to marry me we'll marry
若你想结婚 那便结吧
You say that we can keep our love alive
你说我们的爱能永葆生机
Babe all I know is what I see
亲爱的 我只相信眼见为实
The couples cling and claw
那些爱侣们纠缠撕扯
And drown in love's debris
沉溺在爱的残骸里
You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds
你说我们会比翼双飞穿云霄
But soon you'll cage me on your shelf
转眼却要将我囚于你掌心
I'll never learn to be just me first
我永远学不会先做自己
By myself
独自一人
Well okay it's time we moved in together
好吧 是时候该同居了
And raised a family of our own you and me
组建属于你我的小家庭
Well that's the way I've always heard it should be
这就是我一直听说的所谓正轨
You want to marry me we'll marry
若你想结婚 那便结吧
We'll marry
我们结婚
