歌词
Once I knew a girl in the hard hard times
我曾在艰苦的日子里与一个女孩相依为命
She made me a shirt out of fives and dimes
她在商店为我购置一件廉价衬衫
Now she's gone but when I wear it she crosses my mind
现在她离我而去 但每当我穿上它时 她的身影便闪过我的脑海
And if the best is for the best then the best is unkind
一切只因我想将最好的东西给最好的你 只是这最好却成了无情
I realized that Illinois was more than I could stand
我意识到伊利诺斯远远超出了我的承受能力
They say working's best cause poverty is hell on a man
他们说工作其实是最好的解压方式 因为贫穷使人卑微
Now I ride a lazy river through the Mississippi fan
如今我随着缓慢流淌的河流穿过墨西哥湾
And if the best is for the best then the best can be damned
一切只因我想将最好的东西给最好的你 只是这最好却成了诅咒
I spent a few years on the Queen of Spain
我花了几年时间研究西班牙女王
She was a leaky little boat that went up in flames
她如一条漏水的小船 总是被点燃怒火
When the boiler blew some people started naming names
当锅炉爆炸时我脑海里流转的仍是你的名字
But if the best is for the best I guess the best is to blame
只因我想将最好的东西给最好的你 只是这最好却被你责怪
I spent a few more as the Cairo Crown
我在开罗王冠上花费了更多精力
A heavyweight wrestler in the Midwest towns
观看中西部城镇的重量级摔跤手的比赛
But I was lonesome for a girl who could pin me down
但那个缠绕在我心间的女孩却令我此刻寂寞如斯
They say the best is for the best but that's not what I've found
他们说的我并未发觉
Now I listen to my sweetheart and I listen to my thirst
如今我倾听爱人的心声 倾听我的渴望
I don't spend time listening to other people's words
我从不浪费时间听他人的闲言碎语
Sometimes they're right most times the reverse
有时他们所言属实 但大多数时候都与事实相悖
They say the best is for the best when the best's for the worse
他们说物极必反 当你想尽力给予她最好的时候却忽略了她的感受
Once I knew a girl in the hard hard times
我曾在艰苦的日子里与一个女孩相依为命
She made me a shirt out of fives and dimes
她在商店为我购置一件廉价衬衫
Now she's gone but when I wear it she crosses my mind
现在她离我而去 但每当我穿上它时 她的身影便闪过我的脑海
And if the best is for the best then the best is unkind
一切只因我想将最好的东西给最好的你 只是这最好却成了无情
Once I knew a girl in the hard hard times
我曾在艰苦的日子里与一个女孩相依为命
Once I knew a girl in the hard hard times
我曾在艰苦的日子里与一个女孩相依为命
