Practical Arrangement

Practical Arrangement - Sting
現實的約定
Am I asking for the moon?
你認為我想擁有月亮？

這讓你感到難以置信嗎？
Is it really so implausible?
我想再過不久

我和你可以達成某種約定
That you and I could soon
月亮並不是我想要的

我是個現實的人
Come to some kind of arrangement?
當我真的一無所有時

最好是能重來
Im not asking for the moon
我們在同一屋簷下

那是我們溫暖的家
Ive always been a realist
我們可以先分開睡

我可以單獨睡然後反省
When its really nothing more
我不是說我們會發現

在塵世中的天堂
Than a simple rearrangement
我想這種狀況會常發生的

或許答案是永遠不會
With one roof above our heads
但我們可以達成一個約定

一個現實點的約定
A warm house to return to
你可以學習去愛我

給彼此一定的時間
We could start with separate beds
我不希望那是月亮

我不希望那是彩虹
I could sleep alone or learn to
只是一個現實的解決方法

至於一個人的生活
Im not suggesting that wed find
我希望是你孩子的父親

是你可以依靠的肩膀
Some earthly paradise forever
再壞能壞到哪去呢？

做我的夫人？
I mean how often does that happen now
我們在同一屋簷下

那是我們溫暖的家
The answers probably never
你將不必為我做飯

你也不必學
But we could come to an arrangement
我並不是說現在的這個建議

能夠持續到永遠
A practical arrangement
我無意欺騙你

你是如此聰明
And you could learn to love me
但我們可以達成一個約定

一個現實的約定
Given time
也許你得學習去愛我

給彼此一定的時間
Im not promising the moon
也許那並不浪漫

但那會留在你腦海中
Im not promising a rainbow
但你得先學習去愛我

時間足夠，來吧
Just a practical solution

To a solitary life

Id be a father to your boy

A shoulder you could lean on

How bad could it be

To be my wife?

With one roof above our heads

A warm house to return to

You wouldnt have to cook mefor

You wouldnt have to learn to

Im not suggesting that this proposition here

Could last forever

Ive no intention of deceiving you

Youre far too clever

But we could come to an arrangement

A practical arrangement

And perhaps youd learn to love me

Given time

It may not be the romance
That you had in mind

But you could learn to love me

Given time
