Long Live The Queen (Songbook Version)

歌词
I was sipping on a whiskey when I got the call
接到电话时我正在喝威士忌
Yeah my friend Lex was lying in the hospital
我的朋友莱克斯那时正躺在医院里
She'd been pretty sick for about half a year
她病了差不多半年了
But it seemed like this time the end was drawing near
但这次结局似乎就要来临了
So dropped my plans and jumped the next London train
所以我放弃了行程改乘下一班去往伦敦的火车
I found her laid up and in a lot of pain
我发现她躺在床上痛苦万分
Her eyes met mine and then I understood
我们眼神相遇然后我就明白了
That her weather forecast wasn't looking too good
她的情况看起来不是太好
So I sat and spun her stories for a little while
所以我坐在那儿讲了一会儿她的故事
Tried to raise her mood and tried to raise a smile
努力让她提高情绪,努力让她露出笑容
But she silenced all my ramblings with a shake of her head
但她摇了摇头,把我的胡言乱语都制住
Drew me close and listen this is what she said now
拉近我让我听着她所说的
You'll live to dance another day
你会活着继续舞动新一天
It's just now you'll have to dance for the two of us
不过现在你必须要为我们两个人而舞
So stop looking so damn depressed
所以别这么沮丧了
And sing with all your heart that the Queen is dead
全心全意地高歌“女王已死”吧
Yeah she told me she was sick of all the hospital food
她告诉我她厌倦了医院的食物
And of doctors distant relatives draining her blood
医生和远房亲戚让她精疲力竭
She said I know I'm dying but I'm not finished just yet
她说“我知道我快死了,但我还没玩完”
And I'm dying for a drink and for a cigarette
“我现在真想喝口酒再抽支烟”
So we hatched a plan to book ourselves a cheap hotel
所以我们计划订一间便宜宾馆
In the centre of the city and to raise some hell
在城市的中心找点乐子
Lay waste to all the clubs and then when everyone else is long asleep
在每个夜总会胡混然后等每个人都睡着以后
Then we know we're good and done
我们就会知道我们干得棒极了
You'll live to dance another day
你会活着继续舞动新一天
It's just now you'll have to dance for the two of us
不过现在你必须要为我们两个人而舞
So stop looking so damn depressed
所以别这么沮丧了
And sing with all your heart that the Queen is dead
全心全意地高歌“女王已死”吧
And South London's not the same any more
南伦敦不复从前
The Queen is dead
女王已死
And the last of the greats has finally gone to bed
最后一个伟人终于安息了
Well I was working on some words when Sarah called me up
莎拉给我打电话时,我正在写东西
She said that Lex had gone asleep and wasn't waking up
她告诉我莱克斯已经一睡不醒了
And even though I knew that there was nothing to be done
尽管我知道我无能为力
I felt bad for not being there and now well she was gone
我还是为不在那里感到难过,现在她已经走了
So I tried to think what Lex would want me to do
所以我思考莱克斯会想让我做什么
At times like this when I was feeling blue
在我感到沮丧的这种时候
So I gathered up some friends to spread the sad sad news
所以我把一些朋友叫到一起,公布了这个悲伤的消息
And we headed to the city for a drink or two
我们一起去城里喝了几杯
And we sang
我们一起高唱:
We live to dance another day
我们会活着继续舞动新一天
It's just now we have to dance for one more of us
不过现在我们必须还要为另一个人而舞
So stop looking so damn depressed
所以别这么沮丧了
And sing with all our hearts
全心全意地高歌
Long live the queen
女王万岁
