歌词
It was Christmas Eve babe,
柯斯蒂·麦科尔（作者）
in the drunk tank
纽约童话故事（歌名）
An old man said to me,
那是圣诞节前夜，宝贝，
won't see another one
在醉汉收留所里，
And then he sang a song,
一个老人对我说，
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
这是他的最后一个圣诞了。
And I turned my face away,
然后他唱了一首歌，
and dreamed about you
唱的是《珍贵的陈年山露》。
Got on a lucky one,
我转过脸去，
came in eighteen to one
然后梦到了你。
I've got a feeling,
我真是个幸运儿，
this year's for me and you
中了赔率为18比1的博彩。
So happy Christmas,
那一刻我感到，
I love you baby
今年是属于你我的。
I can see a better time,
所以圣诞快乐啊，
when all our dreams come true
我爱你，宝贝。
They've got cars big as bars they've got rivers of gold
我已经预见了那个美好的时刻，
But the wind goes right through you It's no place for the old
那个我们梦想成真的时刻。
When you first took my hand on a cold Christmas Eve
别人有酒吧一般的豪车、流水一般的黄金，
You promised me Broadway was waiting for me
然而寒风吹过你的身体，你却老无所居。
You were handsome
当你在圣诞前夜第一次牵我的手，
You were pretty Queen of New York City
你曾许诺让我成为百老汇的一员。（百老汇是纽约一个戏剧学院集中之地）
When the band finished playing they howled out for more
你如此英俊，
Sinatra was swinging,
你如此美丽，是纽约天后。
all the drunks they were singing
当乐队演奏完，他们起哄着要求再来几首。
We kissed on the corner,
辛纳屈舞动着，（辛纳屈是一名歌手）
then danced through the night
醉汉们都歌唱着，
The boys of the NYPD choir
我们在角落里拥吻，
were singing 'Galway Bay'
然后彻夜共舞。
And the bells were ringing out,
纽约警局合唱团的男孩们，
for Christmas day
正吟唱着那首《高威海湾》
You're a bum, You're a punk,
所有的大钟都已响起，
You're an old slut on junk
欢庆圣诞。
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
你这个流浪汉，你这个小流氓，
You scum bag, You maggot,
你这个拾荒的老荡妇，
You cheap lousy faggot
打着点滴躺在床上苟延残喘。
Happy Christmas your arse,
你这个人渣，你这个蛆虫，
I pray God It's our last
你这个贱到极致的废柴，
The boys of the NYPD choir
圣诞快乐吧，你个混球
still singing 'Galway Bay'
上帝保佑，我们快点再见吧！
And the bells were ringing out
纽约警局合唱团的男孩们，
for Christmas day
仍正吟唱着那首《高威海湾》
I could have been someone
所有的大钟都已响起，
Well so could anyone
欢庆圣诞。
You took my dreams from me
我本可以成为某个大人物的，
when I first found you
呦，谁不是呢？
I kept them with me babe,
你带走了我的梦想，
I put them with my own
当我第一次遇见你。
Can't make it all alone
我一直怀揣着你的梦，宝贝，
I've built my dreams around you
和我的梦一起，铭记于心
The boys of the NYPD choir
我一个人走不完以后的路，
still singing 'Galway Bay'
我的梦想都是为了你啊！
And the bells were ringing out
纽约警局合唱团的男孩们，
for Christmas day
仍正吟唱着那首《高威海湾》
