《Take a Letter, Maria》

——R.B. Greaves

Last night as I got home about a half past ten

昨晚大概十点半的时候 我回到家

There was the woman I thought I knew

发现那个我曾以为我熟知的女人

In the arms of another man

在另一个男人的拥吻之下

I kept my cool, I ain't no fool

我保持了冷静 我不是傻子

Let me tell you what happened then

让我来告诉你接下来发生了什么

I packed some clothes and I walked out

我打包好了衣服 走出了家门

And I ain't going back again

决定再也不会回到这个地方

So take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife

所以 接信吧玛利亚 我将信寄给了老婆

Say I won't be coming home, gonna start a new life

我不会再回来 准备开始我的新生活

Take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife

所以 接信吧玛利亚 我将信寄给了我老婆

Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life

将另一封信寄给律师 准备开始我的新生活

You've been many things but most of all a good secretary to me

你曾经在我的生命中扮演了很多角色 其中最重要的 你是个称职的秘书

And it's times like this I feel you've always been close to me

这些时光 曾让我觉得你对我很亲近

Was I wrong to work nights to try to build a good life

或许我错了 曾经我日以继夜地工作 只为我们的生活更幸福

All work and no play has just cost me a wife

结果填满了工作而了无情趣的生活 让我失去了老婆

So take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife

所以 接信吧玛利亚 我将信寄给了我老婆

Say I won't be coming home, gonna start a new life

我不会再回来 准备开始我的新生活

Take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife

所以 接信吧玛利亚 我将信寄给了我老婆

Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life

将另一封信寄给律师 准备开始我的新生活

When a man loves a woman it's hard to understand

当男人爱上了女人 事情就慢慢变得难以理解

That she would find more pleasure in the arms of another man

女人似乎会希望在另一个男人的臂膀里 获取更多的快乐

I never really noticed how sweet you are to me

我从没真正地意识到 你对我有多甜蜜

It just so happens I'm free tonight, would you like to have dinner with me

既然这已经发生 我今晚正好有空 你还是否愿意与我共进最后的晚餐

Well take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife

然后 请接信吧玛利亚 我将信寄给了我老婆

Say I won't be coming home, gonna start a new life

我不会再回来 准备开始我的新生活

Take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife

所以 接信吧玛利亚 我将信寄给了我老婆

Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life

将另一封信寄给律师 准备开始我的新生活

Take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife

所以 接信吧玛利亚 我将信寄给了我老婆

Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life

将另一封信寄给律师 准备开始我的新生活
