歌词
I have a tale, but not a tail
我有一个故事，而不是一条尾巴
Like felius domesticum
比如家猫的尾巴
这是关于一个女孩的，一个真正的女孩
It's of a girl, a real girl
现在我用她的真名叫她
I'm calling by her real name
故事开始了
这是一首夏令营十四行诗
And thus began
她看见了一个男孩将快
A summer camp sonnet
成为她青春时帽子里的吵闹蜜蜂
She saw a boy who would soon be
Nina长着一头长发
A bee in her teenage bonnet
握着对她毫无益处的火把
Nina and her very long hair
她给了那个男孩一个霹雳般的笑
Held a torch that got her nowhere
她摒弃了她拥有的一切
She hit him with a thunderbolt smile
每一条裙子及每一只鞋
Every thing she had she threw
Nina长着一头长发
Every dress and every shoe
握着对她毫无益处的火把
Nina and her very long hair
她尽了最大的努力
Held a torch that got her nowhere
却没能让男孩多看她一眼
As hard as she tried
男孩从未看见火把的光
He never looked twice
也没结束Nina的困境
He never did see the light,
有时候一部电影，会对我撒谎
And end the plight of Nina
就像一杯冷掉的茶一样
让我忘掉我要做什么
Sometimes a film, comes over me,
去抓住并猎杀，夺取并占有
Like a cold cup of tea
在Nina十七岁时
And I forget, what I was set
她还在发晕
To snag and bag, grab and seize
她又去了夏令营
带着一把梳子，一个帐篷
At seventeen
和同当年一样的感觉
She was still reeling
Nina长着一头长发
She went to camp
握着对她毫无益处的火把
With a comb and a tent
她给了那个男孩一个霹雳般的笑
And that same old feeling
她摒弃了她拥有的一切
Nina and her very long hair
每一条裙子及每一只鞋
Held a torch that got her nowhere
Nina长着一头长发
She hit him with a thunderbolt smile
握着对她毫无益处的火把
Every thing she had she threw
她尽了最大的努力
Every dress and every shoe
都没能让男孩多看她一眼
Nina and her very long hair
男孩从未看见火把的光
Held a torch that got her nowhere
也没结束Nina的困境
As hard as she tried
所以，她去剪发了
He never looked twice
她剪了又修
He never did see the light,
（剪掉的头发）足够盖上一个小屋
And end the plight of Nina
一旦她打扮起来
她就散发出耀眼的光芒
And so she snipped,
足够将男孩迷得神魂颠倒
She cut and she clipped
她成为了一个有非常短的头发的女孩
Enough to thatch a cottage roof
这却对她毫无益处
And once she'd preened,
故事结束
She glowed and she gleamed
Off she set to make him swoon
She was the girl with very short hair,
That got her nowhere
End
