歌词
Seems like only yesterday
I left my mind behind
Down in the Gypsy Cafe
这一幕仿佛发生在昨天
With a friend of a friend of mine
我把自己的心丢在一旁
She sat with a baby heavy on her knee
走进“吉普赛人咖啡馆”
Yet spoke of life most free from slavery
去见和一个朋友的朋友
With eyes that showed no trace of misery
刚出生的婴儿重重压在她的膝头
A phrase in connection first with she occurred
可她谈起生活来全然没有被奴役的神色
That love is just a four-letter word
从她眼中看不出一丝痛苦的痕迹
痛苦一词反倒首先使我想到，她说
Outside a rattling store-front window
“爱情不过就那么回事儿”
Cats meowed to the break of day
吱嘎作响的商店橱窗外
Me, I kept my mouth shut
猫咪们打着哈欠迎接新一天的到来
To you I had no words to say
而我，我嘴巴紧闭
My experience was limited and underfed
在你面前我无fa可说
You were talking while I hid
我的经历有限 可以说是匮乏
To the one who was the father of your kid
你侃侃而谈 我把自己隐藏
You probably didn't think I did, but I heard
对你孩子的生父我一个字也没提
You say that love is just a four-letter word
可能你不信，但毕竟我听见你说
“爱情不过就那么回事儿”
I said goodbye unnoticed
悄悄地我不告而别
Pushed towards things in my own games
在我自己的游戏里继续前行
Drifting in and out of lifetimes
在前世与今生之间漂来荡去
Unmentionable by name
没人知道我姓甚名谁
Searching for my double, looking for
我不停搜寻着另一个自己
Complete evaporation to the core
期待着来一次完全彻底的人间蒸发
Though I tried and failed at finding any door
却不得要领 屡试屡败
I must have thought that there was nothing more
我曾一度认为 再没有什么言论比
Absurd than that love is just a four-letter word
“爱情不过就那么回事儿”更荒唐
虽然我从不确切知道你说这话的意思
Though I never knew just what you meant
当你对你男人这么说的时候
When you were speaking to your man
我只能从自己的角度去想
I can only think in terms of me
但如今我明白了
And now I understand
在一次次深夜醒来陷入沉思后，我发现
After waking enough times to think I see
那本该意味着永恒的神圣一吻
The Holy Kiss that's supposed to last eternity
注定如烟花般转瞬即逝
Blow up in smoke, its destiny
四处飘散，随机落在陌生人的头上
Falls on strangers, travels free
是的，现在我明白了，是我自己画地为牢
Yes, I know now, traps are only set by me
可我真的不需要别人这么笃定地告诉我
And I do not really need to be
爱情不过就那么回事儿
Assured that love is just a four-letter word
在你身边的感觉真的很怪
多年过去，命运的笔锋已转
Strange it is to be beside you
要是我告诉你这些年我都学到了什么
Many years and tables turned
你很可能不信
You'd probably not believe me
年复一年听着某人自我辩护的言词
If I told you all I've learned
那感觉一定也是怪异透顶
And it is very, very weird indeed
但那些船从我心间驶过 我不能无视和撒谎
to hear words like forever plead
这就像 被点名时就只是盯着老师的脸
Those ships run through my mind, I cannot cheat
我对你什么也说不出来，只能重复我所听到的字句：
It's like looking in the teacher's face complete
“爱情不过就那么回事儿”
I can say nothing to you but repeat what I heard
that love is just a four-letter word
