Same Old Lang Syne - Dan Fogelberg - Lyrics 中英文歌詞

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcC-cxRnKgA

最不像聖誕歌曲的聖誕歌曲 Dan Fogelberg這位遊唱詩人寫的往日情懷。據說是他自己的親身經歷。

聽到最後的薩可斯風，總是能感受到離情別緒，就是過去，我們都回不去了。

敬昨日。

P個S 敘事詩歌詞中英對照版
Met my old lover in the grocery store     我在雜貨店遇到舊情人
The snow was falling Christmas Eve     就在大雪紛飛的聖誕節前夕
I stole behind her in the frozen foods     我躲在冷凍食物區後方偷偷跟著她
And I touched her on the sleeve     我碰碰她的袖子
She didn't recognize the face at first     她第一眼並沒有認出
But then her eyes flew open wide     隨後她張著大眼望著我
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse     她跑過來抱我 皮包散落一地    
And we laughed until we cried.     我們都笑出了眼淚

We took her groceries to the checkout stand     我們一起將她買的東西拿去櫃檯
The food was totalled up and bagged     將食物結帳並裝入紙袋
We stood there lost in our embarrassment     我們失落站在櫃檯前 顯得有點尷尬
As the conversation dragged.     因為都不知道該說什麼     
We went to have ourselves a drink or two     於是我們決定去喝兩杯
But couldn't find an open bar     但是附近並沒有小酒館
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store     我們買了半打啤酒
And we drank it in her car.     在她的車上喝

*We drank a toast to innocence     我們為過去的天真歲月乾一杯
We drank a toast to now     也為現在乾一杯
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness     我們試著找回並填補過去的空虛
But neither one knew how.     但我們都不知道該如何做

She said she'd married her an architect     她說她後來嫁給一位建築師
Who kept her warm and safe and dry     給她一個溫暖安全的窩
She would have liked to say she loved the man     她多麼希望能說出她愛這個男人
But she didn't like to lie.     但她並不願說謊
I said the years had been a friend to her     歲月並沒有在她的臉上留下痕跡
And that her eyes were still as blue     因為她的眼睛依舊如此湛藍

But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw     但在這雙湛藍的雙眼背後
Doubt or gratitude.     我不敢確定我看到的是懷疑或感激

She said she saw me in the record stores     她說她在唱片行看到我的專輯
And that I must be doing well     我想大概我做得還不錯
I said the audience was heavenly     觀眾給我如天堂般的支持 (*我回她說觀眾都說我很棒)
But the traveling was hell.     但巡迴演唱卻如地獄般辛苦        

We drank a toast to innocence     我們為過去的天真歲月又乾了一杯
We drank a toast to time     也為時間的流逝乾杯
Reliving in our eloquence     我們享受著過去的無話不談
Another 'auld lang syne'...     只是時光飛逝

The beer was empty and our tongues were tired     酒喝完了 我們也聊累了
And running out of things to say     到了不知道該說什麼的時候     
She gave a kiss to me as I got out     我下車時  她吻了我一下
And I watched her drive away.     就這樣 我看著她開車離開
Just for a moment I was back at school     那一瞬間我彷彿回到學生時代
And felt that old familiar pain     感受到那種似曾相識的痛
And as I turned to make my way back home     當我折返回到家裡時
The snow turned into rain     大雪已慢慢溶化成雨滴
