歌词
It was your birthday yesterday
昨天是你生日，
I gave a gift that almost took your breath away
送你的礼物让你欣喜万分。
But to be honest, I nearly left it on the train
但老实说，我差点把它落在火车上。
For your lover give some time
多花些时间在你的爱人身上吧。
You talk forever on the phone
你像有打不完的电话，
To your mother and with my thoughts I'm left alone
给你的母亲。而我的声音，就那么被忽略了。
Now and then I think how strange our love has grown
我时常在想，我们的爱怎么变得淡漠了。
For your lover give some time
多花些时间在你的爱人身上吧。
I will give up these cigarettes
我会戒烟的，
Stay at home and watch you mend a tear in your dress
也会多待在家里，看着你缝缝补补。
Have your name in a rose tattooed across my chest
我要把你的名字纹在我胸口，纹在我胸口的一朵玫瑰里，
And be your lover for all time
永远做你的爱人。
Maybe I will drink a little less
也许，酒我也会少喝点，
Come home early and not complain about the day
会早点回家，不再抱怨了，
And give you flowers from the graveyard now and then
也会不时地给你带些鲜花回来。
For your lover give some time
多花些时间在你的爱人身上吧。
I think of places that I've seen
我想起了曾经的日子，
A skipping stone across the ocean I have been
我像颗在海面上打着水漂的石头，
A rootless man with no one else to share my dreams
是一个没有人聆听梦想的浪子。
And for my lover gave no time
那些日子，我忽略了我的爱人。
Here's a toast to you, Helene Helene，
我们干了这杯酒吧，
To all the cinemas we ran in from the rain
为了那些在大雨中我们跑进的电影院，
Laughing, clutching soaking newspapers to your face
那时我们大笑着，你用来遮雨的报纸早被雨水浇透。
And for your love you gave some time
谢谢你给我的这些时光。
I will give up these cigarettes
我一定会把烟戒掉，
Stay at home and watch you mend the tears in your dress
多待在家里，陪着你缝缝补补。
Have your name in a rose tattooed across my chest
我要把你的名字和玫瑰一起纹在我胸口，
And be your lover for all time
我想永远做你的爱人。
Maybe I will drink a little less
酒我也会少喝点儿，
Come home early and not complain about the day
我要早点回家，不会再和你一直抱怨了。
And give you flowers from the graveyard now and then
我要不时地给你带些花回来。
And for my lover give some time
我会多花些时间在我的爱人身上。
For your lover give some time
多花些时间在你爱的人身上吧。
