Linda Ronstadt - Long Long Time

-

Love will abide

愛情恆久遠

Take things in stride

今生永留傳

Sounds like good advice

聽似一番精到的見解

But there's no one at my side

可我身邊卻不見情郎相伴

And time washes clean

而時間洗淨了胭脂

Love's wounds unseen

粉飾了多少的傷心事

That's what someone told me

那都是人們說給我聽的事

But I don't know what it means

但我始終不明白它的意思

'Cause I've done everything I know

因為我盡了我最大的努力

To try and make you mine

祇為得到你底心

And I think I'm gonna love you

我想我對你的一片癡情 將再續

For a long, long time

直到很久很久以後

Caught in my fears

深陷在我的悵惘

Blinking back the tears

眨著眼 噙忍著淚光

I can't say you hurt me

我並不敢直說你傷透我心

When you never let me near

但凡你從不樂意使我靠近

And I never drew

而從你嘴啣的話裏

One response from you

我得不到任何一句回應

All the while you fell

這些日子你卻一逕

All over girls you never knew

迷戀上你素昧平生的女性

'Cause I've done everything I know

因為我盡了我最大的努力

To try and make you mine

祇為得到你底心

And I think it's going to hurt me

我想愛對我的一造傷害 將再續

For a long, long time

直到很久很久以後

Wait for the day

假使他日

You'll go away

你終於離我而去

Knowing that you warned me

天曉得多少次你警告過我

Of the price I'd have to pay

日後的代價將是何等慘痛

And life's full of flaws

人生便是缺陷的集大成

Who knows the cause?

論前因後果 又有誰曉得？

Living in the memory

在愛情的倩影裏偷生

Of a love that never was

再怎麼樣也不能成真

'Cause I've done everything I know

因為我盡了我最大的努力

To try and change your mind

祇為試圖改變你心意

And I think I'm going to miss you

我想我對你的一往情深 將再續

For a long, long time

直到很久很久以後

'Cause I've done everything I know

因為我盡了我最大的努力

To try and make you mine

祇為得到你底心

And I think I'm gonna love you

我想我對你的一片真心 將再續

For a long, long time

直到很久很久以後
