歌词
Met my old lover in the grocery store,
在小卖部遇见了我的前女友，
The snow was falling Christmas Eve.
正值圣诞节前夕漫天飞雪。
I stole behind her in the frozen foods,
我躲在她身后的冷冻食品后，
And I touched her on the sleeve.
我扯了扯她的袖子。
She didn't recognize the face at first,
她一开始没认出这张脸，
But then her eyes flew open wide.
但随后她杏眼圆睁显得难以置信。
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse,
她冲过来拥抱我把钱包都撞掉了，
And we laughed until we cried.
我们喜极而泣。
We took her groceries to the checkout stand,
我们把她买的东西拿到收银台，
The food was totalled up and bagged.
把食物全部装进袋子了。
We stood there lost in our embarrassment,
我们站在那里尴尬得不知所措，
As the conversation dragged.
想互诉衷肠却拖泥带水。
We went to have ourselves a drink or two,
我们想小酌两杯，
But couldn't find an open bar.
却找不到开着的酒吧。
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store,
我们在酒类专卖店买了半打啤酒。
And we drank it in her car.
去她的车里对饮。
We drank a toast to innocence,
我们为纯真的过去干杯，
We drank a toast to now.
我们为现在干杯。
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness,
并尝试着以消遣摆脱百无聊赖，
But neither one knew how.
但我们都无所适从。
She said she'd married her an architect,
她说她嫁给了一个建筑师，
Who kept her warm and safe and dry,
让她清闲自在悠然自得，
She would have liked to say she loved the man,
她本想说她爱那个男人，
But she didn't like to lie.
但她不想撒谎。
I said the years had been a friend to her,
我说我们不期而遇，
And that her eyes were still as blue.
她的杏眼一如既往宛如碧穹。
But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw,
但那双杏眼让我捉摸不定，
Doubt or gratitude.
是怀疑还是感激。
She said she saw me in the record stores,
她说她在唱片店看到我了，
And that I must be doing well.
我一定卓有成效。
I said the audience was heavenly,
我说观众宛如天堂，
But the traveling was hell.
但巡回就是地狱。
We drank a toast to innocence,
我们为纯真的过去干杯，
We drank a toast to now.
我们为现在干杯。
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness,
并尝试着以消遣摆脱百无聊赖，
But neither one knew how.
但我们都无所适从
We drank a toast to innocence,
我们为纯真的过去干杯，
We drank a toast to time.
我们为时光干杯。
Reliving in our eloquence,
再次争辩不休侃侃而谈，
Another 'auld lang syne'......
又是一个“友谊地久天长”······
The beer was empty and our tongues were tired,
酒喝干了，我们的舌头也说累了，
And running out of things to say.
已经无话可说。
She gave a kiss to me as I got out,
我下车时她给了我一个吻，
And I watched her drive away.
我看着她开车渐行渐远。
Just for a moment I was back at school,
就在须臾学生时代恍若昨日，
And felt that old familiar pain .........
刻骨铭心不能自拔······
And as I turned to make my way back home,
当我转身准备回家时，
The snow turned into rain ..............
我已迷离恍惚下的是雪还是雨·······
