[歌詞] Chinese - Lily Allen

Lily Allen算是我近期蠻喜歡的一個歌手
以前雖然常聽到她的歌，可是沒仔細聽過歌詞是什麼
最近才發現她的歌詞在西洋流行音樂中算比較有在描述內心世界的...
(看看spotify榜單，熱門榜幾乎都是party music...充滿性暗示跟髒字...)
外加自從跟英國結下孽緣(?)之後，就對英國腔跟英國充滿好感

這是一首充滿不捨跟思念的歌，
訴說著往日相處的那些枝微末節，
回頭才發現都是珍寶，
日後儘管再懷念，
竟很難再有機會參與彼此的生活了...


Chinese - Lily Allen
中國菜 - 莉莉艾倫

I see you from the sky

我從幾萬英呎的高空看往你的方向
And I wonder how long it'll take me to get home

不知道要離開多久才能再回來
I wait for an hour or so at the carousel

我等了一小時左右才拿到行李

I have a cigarette to pass the time 'cause the traffic's hell

在該死的車陣中點了根菸

I don't want anything more

我什麼也不想要
Than to see your face when you open the door

只想在到家的時候看到你打開門
You'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea

你會為我做一份烤土司還有一杯熱茶
And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV

接著我們會叫中國菜外賣配上電視

Tomorrow we'll take the dog for a walk

明天還要一起去遛狗
And in the afternoon then maybe we'll talk
午後可能只是閒話家常

I'll be exhausted so I'll probably sleep

然後我會很沒精神跑去睡個午覺
And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV

晚上又點了中國菜外賣配上電視

You wipe the tears from my eye

你擦拭我眼眶的淚水
And you say that all that it takes is a phone call

說就算很遠仍能打電話給我
I cry at the thought of being alone and then
但這種分離的孤單讓我哭個不停

I wonder how long it will take until I'm home again

不知道我什麼時候才會再回來

I don't want anything more

我什麼也不想要
Than to see your face when you open the door
只想在到家的時候看到你打開門

You'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea

你會為我做一份烤土司還有一杯熱茶
And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV

接著我們會叫中國菜外賣配上電視

Tomorrow we'll take the dog for a walk

明天還要一起去遛狗
And in the afternoon then maybe we'll talk

午後可能只是閒話家常
I'll be exhausted so I'll probably sleep

然後我會很沒精神跑去睡個午覺
And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV

晚上又點了中國菜外賣配上電視

I know it doesn't seem so fair

我知道這好像沒什麼
But I'll send you a postcard when I get there

但我到的時候會寄明信片給你

I don't want anything more

我什麼也不想要
Than to see your face when you open the door

只想在到家的時候看到你打開門
You'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea

你會為我做一份烤土司還有一杯熱茶
And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV

接著我們會叫中國菜外賣配上電視

Tomorrow we'll take the dog for a walk

明天還要一起去遛狗
And in the afternoon then maybe we'll talk

午後可能只是閒話家常
I'll be exhausted so I'll probably sleep

接著我會很沒精神然後去睡個午覺
And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV

晚上又點了中國菜外賣配上電視
