歌词
How do I know my youth is all spent?
我怎会知道我的青春小鸟一去不回来？
My get up and go has got up and went
曾卯足过的那股劲儿 早已无踪影
But in spite of it all I'm able to grin
但尽管如此 我还是笑对一切
And think of the places my get up has been.
回味着过往冲过的那些事儿
Old age is golden so I've heard said
我听说暮年是金色年华
But sometimes I wonder as I crawl into bed
但爬上床时我也会有些纳闷
With my ears in a drawer, my teeth in a cup
我把我的耳朵放进抽屉 牙齿留在杯子里
My eyes on the table until I wake up.
眼睛搁在桌上 直到醒来后再戴上它们
As sleep dims my vision I say to myself:
当睡意逐渐朦胧 我又问自己
Is there anything else I should lay on the shelf?
是不是还有什么东西没抛诸脑后？
But though nations are warring and business is vexed
世间不太平 买卖也不顺
I'll stick around to see what happens next.
不过我倒是想瞧瞧接下来会怎样
How do I know my youth is all spent?
我怎会知道我的青春小鸟一去不回来？
My get up and go has got up and went
曾卯足过的那股劲儿 早已无踪影
But in spite of it all I'm able to grin
但尽管如此 我还是笑对一切
And think of the places my get up has been.
回味着过往冲过的那些事儿
When I was young my slippers were red,
小时候 我穿着红色的拖鞋
I could kick up my heels right over my head.
总是高高兴兴 快乐到飞起
When I was older my slippers were blue,
长大后 我换上了蓝色的拖鞋
But still I could dance the whole night thru.
但依然能整夜舞动到天明
Now I am older my slippers are black,
现在我年纪大了 穿着黑色的拖鞋
I huff to the store and I puff my way back.
会怒气冲冲跑到店里又气喘吁吁地回家
But never you laugh; I don't mind at all,
你们可别笑 但我也不介意
I'd rather be huffing than not puff at all.
我宁可气呼呼 毕竟这总要好过没气可呼
How do I know my youth is all spent?
我怎会知道我的青春小鸟一去不回来？
My get up and go has got up and went
曾卯足过的那股劲儿 早已无踪影
But in spite of it all I'm able to grin
但尽管如此 我还是笑对一切
And think of the places my get up has been.
回味着过往冲过的那些事儿
I get up each morning and dust off my wits
每天早晨起床 抖落我一身的机灵
Open the paper and read the obits
翻开报纸读一读讣告
If I'm not there I know I'm not dead
上面要是没有我的名字 我就是还活着
So I eat a good breakfast and go back to bed.
那就美美地吃顿早餐接着睡我的回笼觉吧
How do I know my youth is all spent?
我怎会知道我的青春小鸟一去不回来？
My get up and go has got up and went
曾卯足过的那股劲儿 早已无踪影
But in spite of it all I'm able to grin
但尽管如此 我还是笑对一切
And think of the places my get up has been.
回味着过往冲过的那些事儿
