歌词
Back in the day you had been part of the smart set
从前你是聪明人
You'd holidayed with kings, dined out with starlets
你和国王一起度假，和小明星一起吃饭
From London to New York, Cap Ferrat to Capri
从伦敦到纽约，菲拉特船长到卡普里
In perfume by Chanel and clothes by Givenchy
香奈儿的香水和纪梵希的服装
You sipped camparis with David and Peter
你与大卫、彼得在巴黎小酌
At Noel's parties by Lake Geneva
在日内瓦湖边诺埃尔的派对上
Scaling the dizzy heights of high society
攀登上上流社会令人晕眩的高峰
Armed only with a cheque-book and a family tree
只带着支票簿和家谱
你在蓝色海岸追逐太阳
You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
直到青春逝去
Until the light of youth became obscured
让你一个人呆在阴凉处
And left you on your own and in the shade
一定年龄的英国女士
An English lady of a certain age
如果有一个帅气的年轻人请你喝一杯
And if a nice young man would buy you a drink
你狡黠的眨眨眼
You'd say with a conspiratorial wink
“你不会认为我70岁”
"You wouldn't think that I was seventy"
他会说：“不，你不可能！”
And he'd say,"no, you couldn't be!"
你不得不嫁给一个非常富有的人
可以让你一直过着奢侈糜烂的日子
You had to marry someone very very rich
你已经习惯了这种生活
So that you might be kept in the style to which
但是社会主义者对你征税
You had all of your life been accustomed to
你给了他孩子，一个女孩和一个男孩
But that the socialists had taxed away from you
为让你保持清醒，雇佣了一个保姆
You gave him children, a girl and a boy
到了时候，他们就打发走
To keep your sanity a nanny was employed
那时候你就是这么做的
你在蓝色海岸追逐太阳
And when the time came they were sent away
直到青春逝去
Well that was simply what you did in those days
让你一个人呆在阴凉处
一定年龄的英国女士
You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
如果有一个帅气的年轻人请你喝一杯
Until the light of youth became obscured
你狡黠的眨眨眼
And left you on your own and in the shade
“你不会认为我63岁”
An English lady of a certain age
他会说：“不，你不可能！”
And if a nice young man would buy you a drink
你的儿子投资股票和债券，住在萨力郡
You'd say with a conspiratorial wink
偶尔飞下来，匆匆离开
"You wouldn't think that I was sixty three"
你的女儿没有完成学业
And he'd say,"no, you couldn't be!
嫁了一个你不看好的奇怪的年轻人
你丈夫那颗空虚的心在圣诞节飞破灭了
Your son's in stocks and bonds and lives back in Surrey
他把别墅留给了马赛的情妇
Flies down once in a while and leaves in a hurry
你来到这里，逃离了你的小别墅
Your daughter never finished her finishing school
多希望有人为你斟满酒杯，让你聊聊如何斟满
Married a strange young man of whom you don't approve
你在蓝色海岸追逐太阳
Your husband's hollow heart gave out one Christmas Day
直到青春逝去
He left the villa to his mistress in Marseilles
让你一个人呆在阴凉处
And so you come here to escape your little flat
一定年龄的英国女士
Hoping someone will fill your glass and let you chat about how
如果有一个帅气的年轻人请你喝一杯
你狡黠的眨眨眼
You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
“你不会认为我53岁”
Until the light of youth became obscured
他会说：“不，你不可能！”
And left you all alone and in the shade
An English lady of a certain age
And if a nice young man would buy you a drink
You'd say with a conspiratorial wink
"You wouldn't think that I was fifty three"
And he'd say,"no, you couldn't be!
