title: seven days
by edison
seven days, was all she wrote
她只寫了“七天”兩個字
a kind of ultimatum note, she gave to me
算是給我下的最後通牒
she gave to me
她給我下的最後通牒
when i thought the field had cleared
當我以為我已經把情場對手都消滅乾淨時
it seems another suit appeared to challenge me
沒想到又出現了一個傢伙來向我下戰書
woe is me
唉多麼令人傷感啊！
though i hate to make a choice
我真討厭做選擇
my options are decreasing mostly rapidly
但我能選擇的卻又越來越少
well, we'll see
唉等等看吧
i don't think she'd bluff this time
她這次不像是在嚇唬我
i really have to make her mine
我真的要把她據為己有
it's plain to see, it's him or me
很顯然，不是他，就是我
monday, i could wait till tuesday
星期一，我可以拖到星期二再決定
if i make up my mind
如果我下定了決心的話
wedn'sday would be fine
那星期三是個不錯的日子
thursday's on my mind
而星期四我仍在猶豫
friday'd give me time
星期五又給了我些時間去思考
saturday could wait
也能再等等到星期六
but sunday'd be too late
但是拖到星期日就太遲了

事實上，他有六英尺十寸多高
the fact he's over six feet ten
這也許會讓另一個男人膽怯
might instil fear in other men
但我不會被他嚇住
but not in me
我可是只“強壯的跳蚤”！
the mighty flea
我捫心自問，自己是膽小如鼠，還是像個真正的男人一樣勇敢
ask if i am mouse or man
這時鏡子發出吱吱聲，嚇得我趕緊逃掉了
the mirror squeaked, away i ran
天啊，他會在他喝茶的時候殺掉我
he'll murder me in time for his tea
難道我一點都不會為之煩惱嗎？ ！
does it bother me at all?
我的對手是個尼安德特人
my rival is neanderthal
這讓我若有所思

也許我現在需要喝一杯
it makes me think
這裡不需要智商
perhaps i need a drink
我們又不是通過玩拼字遊戲的比賽
i.q. is no problem here
來贏取她的心
we won't be playing scrabble for
恐怕我需要那瓶啤酒
her hand, i fear
星期一，我可以拖到星期二再決定
i need that beer
如果我下定了決心的話

那星期三是個不錯的日子
monday, i could wait till tuesday
而星期四我仍在猶豫
if i make up my mind
星期五又給了我些時間去思考
wedn'sday would be fine
也能再等等到星期六
thursday's on my mind
但是拖到星期日就太遲了
friday'd give me time
七天會很快流逝
saturday could wait
但我深愛她的事實卻會永存
but sunday'd be too late
七天

我有那麼多出路
seven days will quickly go
但我依然困守於此
the fact remains, i love her so
無法逃脫
seven days
星期一，我可以拖到星期二再決定
so many ways
如果我下定了決心的話
but i can't run away
那星期三是個不錯的日子
i can't run away
而星期四我仍在猶豫

星期五又給了我些時間去思考
monday, i could wait till tuesday
也能再等等到星期六
if i make up my mind
但是拖到星期日就太遲了
wedn'sday would be fine
有個故事，我本深藏心底
thursday's on my mind
自我們邂逅以來
friday'd give me time
有那麼多個下雨天
saturday could wait
我們同撐一把足夠大的雨傘
but sunday'd be too late
但是每次被雨淋濕的
do i have to tell a story
都是我，都是我……
of a thousand rainy days
since we first met?
it's a big enough umbrella
but it's always me that ends up
getting wet. yeah, yeah.
