Waitin' On a Woman

Sittin' on a bench at West Town Mall
我坐在西镇小道的长凳上
He sat down in his overalls and asked me
他身穿长罩衣坐了下来，问了我一句
You waitin' on a woman
你在等一位女士吗？
I nodded yeah and said how 'bout you
我点了点头，问他了句，你呢？
He said son since nineteen fifty-two I've been
他说，孩子，从1952年开始
Waitin' on a woman
我就一直在等一个女人
When I picked her up for our first date
那年我和她第一次出门约会
I told her I'd be there at eight
我告诉她，我8点会在那儿等她
And she came down the stairs at eight-thirty
但她8点半才下楼
She said I'm sorry that I took so long
她对我说，真抱歉耽误了这么久
Didn't like a thing that I tried on
我总是不满意试穿的衣服
But let me tell you son she sure looked pretty
但我告诉你吧孩子，她看上去美极了
Yeah she'll take her time but I don't mind
是的，她会不慌不忙地来，但我不会介意

He said the wedding took a year to plan

You talk about an anxious man, I was nervous

Waitin' on a woman
只是为了等那个女人
And then he nudged my arm like old men do
接着他像一个老头常做的那样用肘推了推我
And said, I'll say this about the honeymoon, it was worth it
说，告诉你啊，那次蜜月，真值得我
Waitin' on a woman

And I don't guess we've been anywhere
我想我们从未跋山涉水
She hasn't made us late I swear
她也从未真正耽误过什么事
Sometimes she does it just 'cause she can do it
有时候她这么做仅仅是因为她可以这么做
Boy it's just a fact of life
孩子，这是生活的一条真理
It'll be the same with your young wife

Might as well go on and get used to it
而你只有学会去习惯它

I've read somewhere statistics show
我曾看过一则数据统计
The man's always the first to go
发现男人们总是最先出家门的那一方
And that makes sense 'cause I know she won't be ready
我现在终于懂了其中的缘由，因为女人们总是还没准备好
So when it finally comes my time
所以当这件事终于轮到我时
And I get to the other side
我会走到路旁
I'll find myself a bench, if they've got any
如果那儿有的话，我会找一个长凳坐下
I hope she takes her time, 'cause I don't mind
