歌词
Same Old Lang Syne
Dan Fogelberg
在杂货店里遇见了旧情人
Met my old lover in the grocery store,
那是下著雪的耶诞节前夕
在冷冻食品区，我偷偷躲在她背後
The snow was falling Christmas Eve.
然後碰了一下她的袖子
起初她没有认出我来
I stole behind her in the frozen foods,
但她突然睁大眼睛
And I touched her on the sleeve.
过来抱住我，钱包掉到地上
我们笑到泪水盈眶
She didn't recognize the face at first,
我们把她买的东西一起拿到柜台
结果全部被装在一块儿算帐
But then her eyes flew open wide.
我们楞在那儿有点尴尬
就这样有一搭没一搭的谈著
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse,
於是想找个地方喝两杯
And we laughed until we cried.
却找不到半家酒吧
只好去买一手啤酒
We took her groceries to the checkout stand,
在她的车里喝了起来
我们为纯真的岁月互敬
The food was totalled up and bagged.
为此时此刻举杯
我们试图排除这份空虚
We stood there lost in our embarrassment,
却无能为力
As the conversation dragged.
她说她嫁给一个建筑师
她的生活饱暖无虞，平实无味
We went to have ourselves a drink or two,
她很想说她爱这个男人
但她不想说谎
But couldn't find an open bar.
我说她还是那样
迷人的双眼湛蓝如昔
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store,
但我不确定，她的眼底显露出的
And we drank it in her car.
是怀疑还是感激
她说她在唱片行里看到了我（的专辑）
We drank a toast to innocence,
说我八成过得不错
We drank a toast to now.
我说歌迷让你置身如天堂
但巡回演唱的日子却仿若地狱一般
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness,
我们向纯真年代敬酒
为此时此刻乾杯
But neither one knew how.
我们试图排除这份空虚
却始终无能为力
She said she'd married her an architect,
我们敬天真无邪
为时光荏苒乾杯
Who kept her warm and safe and dry,
我们再次争辩不休侃侃而谈
那是另一幅美好的昔日情景
She would have liked to say she loved the man,
啤酒喝完了，话也说累了
But she didn't like to lie.
话题都聊光了
我下车时，她轻吻我
I said the years had been a friend to her,
我看著她的车驶离
那一刻我彷佛又回到了学生的时光
And that her eyes were still as blue.
感受到那熟悉的旧伤痛
蓦然回首，我转向回家的路
But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw,
雪，如雨水般淌下
Doubt or gratitude.
She said she saw me in the record stores,
And that I must be doing well.
I said the audience was heavenly,
But the traveling was hell.
We drank a toast to innocence,
We drank a toast to now.
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness,
But neither one knew how.
We drank a toast to innocence,
We drank a toast to time.
Reliving in our eloquence,
Another 'auld lang syne'......
The beer was empty and our tongues were tired,
And running out of things to say.
She gave a kiss to me as I got out,
And I watched her drive away.
Just for a moment I was back at school,
And felt that old familiar pain .........
And as I turned to make my way back home,
The snow turned into rain ..............
