歌词
They put a parking lot on a piece of land
他们在一个地方建了停车场
When the supermarket used to stand.
曾经是超级市场地方
Before that they put up a bowling alley
在那之前他们开过一家保龄球场
On the site that used to be the local pally.
那个位置曾经是当地的欢乐场
That's where the big bands used to come and play.
就是大乐队驻扎演奏的地方
My sister went there on a Saturday.
我的姐姐礼拜六去那里
Come dancing,
来跳舞吧
All her boyfriends used to come and call.
她所有的男朋友都这样约她
Why not come dancing, it's only natural?
为什么不去跳舞呢，这是很自然的事
又一个礼拜六，另一个约会
Another Saturday, another date.
她本该做好准备，可还是让他们等待
She would be ready but she's always make them wait.
在走廊等待，等待中期待
In the hallway, in anticipation,
他不知道夜晚会以失败结尾
He didn't know the night would end up in frustration.
一个星期的工资全打了水漂
He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week
紧紧发生了拥抱、轻吻、贴脸颊
All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek.
来跳舞吧
Come dancing,
当我还是个孩子的时候他们就这样说
That's how they did it when I was just a kid,
当他们说来跳舞吧
And when they said come dancing,
我的姐姐总是应允
My sister always did.
我的姐姐不得不在午夜回家
My sister should have come in a midnight,
我的妈妈总是焦急在家等待
And my mom would always sit up and wait.
大吵一架不可避免
It always ended up in a big row
当我的姐姐习惯了晚回家
When my sister used to get home late.
我能从窗户里，看到他们在月光里
一对影子在花园门口互相道别
Out of my window I can see them in the moonlight,
欢乐场倒闭的那天
Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate.
我的姐姐不停地哭泣
The day they knocked down the pally
欢乐场倒闭的那天
My sister stood and cried.
我的童年的一部分也消失了，消失了
The day they knocked down the pally
现在我长大，在乐队演奏
Part of my childhood died, just died.
曾经是欢乐场的地方现在是停车场
我的姐姐成了家，在房地产工作
Now I'm grown up and playing in a band,
她的女儿出去玩，轮到她等待
And there's a car park where the pally used to stand.
她知道往事远去，不能重来
My sister's married and she lives on an estate.
但是我想告诉她，如果可以
Her daughters go out, now it's her turn to wait.
来跳舞吧
She knows they get away with things she never could,
来吧姐姐，去参加舞会
But if I asked her I wonder if she would,
不要害怕跳舞
Come dancing,
这是很自然的事情啦
Come on sister, have yourself a ball.
来跳舞吧
Don't be afraid to come dancing,
就像礼拜六的约会
It's only natural.
所有的朋友都会来跳舞
Come dancing,
在大乐队曾经演奏的地方
Just like the pally on a Saturday.
And all her friends will come dancing
Where the big bands used to play.
