露西裘丹的搖籃曲

The morning sun touched lightly on the eyes of Lucy Jordan
當清晨的陽光輕輕地觸及了露西喬丹的雙眼，
In a white suburban bedroom in a white suburban town
在一個白色的郊區的一間白色臥房裡，
As she lay there 'neath the covers dreaming of a thousand lovers
她躺在睡床上，夢想著千百個情人，
Till the world turned to orange and the room went spinning round.
直到橘色的陽光充滿了房間，而時間也開始了運轉。
At the age of thirty-seven
在她37歲時，
she realised she'd never Ride through Paris
她發現她永遠也不可能坐在跑車裡遊覽巴黎，
in a sports car with the warm wind in her hair.
讓那輕軟的風拂過她的秀髮。
So she let the phone keep ringing
索性她也不回電話讓鈴聲一直響著，
and she sat there softly singingLittle nursery rhymes
而她只是坐在那裡，口裡輕哼著兒歌，
she'd memorised in her daddy's easy chair.
那是她小時候坐在她父親的搖椅裡，父親哼給她聽過。
Her husband, he's off to work and the kids are off to school,
當她的先生上班，小孩上學時，
And there are, oh, so many ways for her to spend the day.
總有許多的活兒讓她慢慢磨過，
She could clean the house for hours or rearrange the flowers
她可以花好幾小時打掃房子，也可以重新把花插過，
Or run naked through the shady street screaming all the way.
或者，赤足在陰暗的街角尖聲奔跑而過。
At the age of thirty-seven
在她37歲時，
she realised she'd never Ride through Paris
她發現她永遠也不可能坐在跑車裡遊覽巴黎，
in a sports car with the warm wind in her hair.
讓那輕軟的風拂過她的秀髮。
So she let the phone keep ringing
索性她也不回電話讓鈴聲一直響著，
and she sat there softly singingLittle nursery rhymes
而她只是坐在那裡，口裡輕哼著兒歌，
she'd memorised in her daddy's easy chair.
那是她小時候坐在她父親的搖椅裡，父親哼給她聽過。
The evening sun touched gently on the eyes of Lucy Jordan
當落日的餘暉再度輕輕觸及露西喬丹的雙眼，
On the roof top where she climbed
她爬上了屋頂，
when all the laughter grew too loud
只因那些歡笑越來越大聲，
And she bowed and curtsied to the man who reached and offered her his hand,
她對那個也爬上屋頂對她伸出手的男人鞠躬作禮，
And he led her down to the long white car that waited past the crowd.
然後，他領著她坐進了白色的長禮車，穿過了等待的人群。
At the age of thirty-seven she knew she'd found forever
在她37這一年，她同時也瞭解她找到了永恆，
As she rode along through Paris with the warm wind in her hair ...
就在她穿過巴黎的街道，而那輕軟的風，正對著她的秀髮呼嘯而過。
