歌词
TO A FRIEND
致一个朋友
My big day, it was the biggest day of my life.
这是一个大日子，是我人生中最重要的日子
It was the summit of my long career,
那是我漫长生涯的顶点
But I felt so down, and I drank too much beer,
但是我感到很沮丧，而且我还喝了太多的啤酒
And my manager said that I should not appear.
我的经理还叫我赶紧消失
I walked out onto the stage and started to speak.
我走上台开始讲话
The first night I've missed for a couple of years,
这是我几年来错过的第一个夜晚
I explained to the crowed and they started to jeer,
我向人群解释但他们开始笑我
And just when I wanted no one to be there,
就在我不想有人在场的时候
All of my friends were there.
我所有的朋友都在那里
Not just my friends, but their best friends too.
不仅仅是我的朋友，还有他们最好的朋友也都在那里
All of my friends were there to stand and stare,
我所有的朋友都站在那盯着我
Say what they may, all of their friends need not stay.
不管怎么说，他们所有的朋友不必留下来
Those who laughed were not friends anyway.
那些笑我的人根本就算不上我朋友了
All of my friends were there to stand and stare.
我所有的朋友都站在那盯着我
Days went by, I walked around dressed in a disguise.
日子一天天过去，我乔装打扮出去转转
I wore a mustache and I parted my hair,
我留着小胡子，梳了个中分
And gave the impression that I did not care,
给别人一种我不在乎的印象
But oh, the embarrassment, oh, the dispair.
但是还是掩饰不了我的尴尬
Came the day, helped with a few last glasses of gin,
终于有一天，我干掉了最后几杯琴酒
I nervously mounted the stage once again,
紧张不安的再次走上舞台
Got through my performance and no one complained,
顺利的结束了我的表演，没有一个观众发牢骚
Thank God I can go back to normal again.
感谢上帝！我又回归正常了!
I went to that old cafe,
我去了那家老咖啡馆
Where I had been in much happier days,
那家我曾经有过快乐回忆的老店
And all of my friends were there,
我的朋友也全都在那
And no one cared.
也没一个人在意我
Say what they may, all of my friends were there.
不管怎么说，我的所有朋友都在那
Not just my friends, but their best friends too.
不仅仅是我的朋友，还有他们最好的朋友也都在那里
All of my friends were there,
我的所有朋友都在那
Now I don't care.
现在我不在乎了
