歌词
Joni was a girl who lived next door.
琼尼是个邻家女孩
I've known her I guess ten years or more.
我认识她十年有余
Joni wrote me a note one day,
有一天她写了信给我
And this is what she had to say:
那是她发自内心的表白
"Jimmy please say you'll wait for me.
吉米请说你会等我
I'll grow up some day you'll see.
我会长大让你注目
Saving all my kisses just for you.
为你保留所有的吻
Signed with love forever true."
那是爱的记号，永无虚假
Slowly I read her note once more.
我把她的信读了又读
Then I went over to the house next door.
然后来到她的家里
Her teardrops fell like rain that day,
那天她泪落如雨
when I told Joni what I had to say:
当我说了不得不说的话
"Joni, Joni please don't cry.
琼尼，琼尼，请你别哭
You'll forget me by and by.
你会慢慢将我遗忘
You're just fifteen, I'm twenty-two,
你才十五岁，我已二十二
and Joni I just can't wait for you."
我想我真的不能等你
Soon I left our little home town.
后来我离开那小小的城镇
Got me a job and tried to settle down,
找了份工作，安定下来
but these words kept haunting my memory,
但是那些话总在耳边回响
the words that Joni said to me:
那些琼尼说过的话
"Jimmy please say you'll wait for me.
吉米请说你会等我
I'll grow up some day you'll see.
我会长大让你注目
Saving all my kisses just for you.
为你保留所有的吻
Signed with love forever true."
那是爱的记号，永无虚假
I packed my clothes and I caught a plane.
我收拾了行李，买了一张机票
I had to see Joni, I had to explain,
我要看到她，对她说
How my heart was filled with her memory,
在我心中全都是她
and ask my Joni if she'd marry me.
我要琼尼做我的新娘
I ran all the way to the house next door,
我跑到她的家里
but things weren't like they were before.
但是一切已改变
My teardrops fell like rain that day,
我泪落如雨
when I hear what Joni had to say:
当我听见她不得不说的话
"Jimmy, Jimmy please don't cry.
吉米，吉米，请你别哭
You'll forget me by and by.
你会慢慢将我遗忘
It's been five years since you've been gone.
从你离开到现在已经五年
and Jimmy I marry your best friend john
我嫁给了你最好的朋友，约翰
