A Woman of the World
The Divine Comedy
A Woman of the World 歌詞
When she was just a girl
當她還只是個少女的時候
She became a woman of the world
就已經是個小交際花了
Soon there wasnt room enough for her
很快她便感到窒息
In between the bosoms of her family
在她家族嚴苛的氛圍中
She popped the cork,
於是她蓋上行李箱
Got on the Greyhound to New York
搭乘灰狗巴士去了紐約
Small-talked her way round just the sort
旅途中的小小談話都是關於
Of playboys playground shed once dreamed about
她夢想中花花公子們的遊戲人生
Maybe I love her, but Im jealous of her
也許我愛她,但我更嫉妒她
Shes a woman of the world
她是個炙手可熱的交際花
Shes a fake!
——她只是在偽裝而已!
Sure, but shes a real fake
沒錯,不過裝的很好啊
On the make!
——金玉其外!
Making up for lost time
就算是為了打發時間
Just you wait!
——走著瞧吧!
Hey, give the girl a break
嘿,能不能別再談論這姑娘了
And a fifty dollar bill will see to that
——一張50美元的賬單就能搞定她
Heh, that aint enough to feed the cat
嘿,那可餵不飽這只貪心的小貓咪
Serve up the rats and super rats
——那就設法滿足她!
Well they just get fatter while she fades away
虛榮在膨脹,而她日漸消沉
Maybe I love her, cause Im jealous of her
也許我愛她,因為我嫉妒她
Shes a woman of the world
她是個俗不可耐的女人
Maybe I hate her,
也許我恨她
Cause I didnt create her
因為我不是她的創造者
Its human nature, girl
——這是人之常情,親
Maybe Ill suffer, just to be her lover
也許我罪有應得,因為我想成為她的愛人
Just to be part of her world
因為我想融入她的世界
Maybe I need her,
也許我需要她
Because I want to be her baby,
因為我想成為和她一樣的人,親
Can I be your girl?
我能成為你的女孩嗎?
Maybe Ill kill her,
也許我會殺了她
Just trying to thrill her if she dont kill me first
只是為了讓她注意到我,如果她沒有先下手殺我的話
Were making eye-contact
我們用眼神交流著
Oh those hypnotic eyes attract
在這些半夢半醒的眼神交匯中
Such philanthropic flies thats that.
——這不過是螻蟻的慈悲而已
You can not stop it,
但你不能阻止我!
So why the devil do you try?
——所以你特麼幹嘛要去試! ?
