歌词
Creole Girl
克里奥尔女孩
written by Allan Taylor
沉浸于一段旅途的回忆
sung by Allan Taylor
趋于行程归来的那刻
经过这么多狂野放纵的日子
一个年轻的男人那时还正风华正茂
Call it a journey of memories
在称之为绝望的幻想里
A journey to bring back the time
总是试图去捕捉那些早已迷失的梦想
Through the days of wild abandon
当你爱上了黑眼睛的克里奥尔女孩
When a young man was in his prime
她来自新奥尔良
Call it hopeless fancy
漫步在拉丁区
Trying to capture some long lost dreams
寻访一个熟悉的名字
When you fell for the dark-eyed Creole girl
可是，巴黎在你离开了她以后
Who came from New Orleans
已变得面目全非
菲菲的咖啡现已是脱衣舞夜总会
Take in the Latin Quarter
就像“阿拉伯舞皇后”
And search for a familiar name
但没人能与克里奥尔女孩相比
But Paris has changed since you left her
她来自新奥尔良
And nothing much looks the same
也许是期望的过多了
Phify's café's now a strip club
有时，还是离开为好
With the "Arabian Dancing Queens"
但这只是回忆的缘故
But not one can compare with the Creole girl
我开怀畅饮的日子已经过去了
Who came from New Orleans
我走进香颂咖啡馆
盯着这些歌词
Perhaps it was too much to wish for
透过烟雾缭绕的彩色屏幕
Sometimes it's best to move on
面前依然还是那个黑眼睛的克里奥尔女孩
But just for the sake of the memory
她来自新奥尔良
I'll take a drink for the days long gone
“晚上好，先生”女服务员说道
I went into the Café Chanson
“我能为你做些什么？”
And watched the word
我说：“对不起，问个问题
through tobacco stained screens
因为你让我想起了我以前认识的一个人”
I though of the dark-eyed Creole girl
她笑了，只当我是疯了
Who came from New Orleans
这个年轻的女孩仅仅才有十几岁
但她看起来就像那黑眼睛的克里奥尔女孩
"Bonsoir Monsieur" said the waitress
那位来自新奥尔良的女孩
"What can I get for you?"
我呆在这酒吧直至空无一人
I said "Excuse me for asking this question
还和这姑娘一起喝干了一瓶酒
But you remind me of someone I knew"
我说：“我不过是想捕捉一个记忆
She laughed as if I was crazy
纠结于一段不寻常时间的爱情”
This young girl just out of her teens
她说：“也许你回忆的是我的母亲
But she looked like the dark-eyed Creole girl
我俩看起来非常相像
Who came from New Orleans
她或许就是传说的那个黑眼睛的克里奥尔女孩
那位来自新奥尔良的女孩”
I stayed ‘til the bar had emptied
我多么爱那黑眼睛的克里奥尔女孩
And we shared a bottle of wine
她来自新奥尔良
I said "I'm just trying to capture a memory
Of love in a different time"
She said "Maybe you think of my mother
We look so much alike it seems
She was know as the dark-eyed Creole girl
Who came from New Orleans"
How I love the dark-eyed Creole girl
Who came from New Orleans
