第三十六期 他用一台唱机，将流行乐推向盛世

If I Didn't Have a Dime

—— Gene Pitney

If I didn't have a dime and I didn't take the time
如果我没有那枚硬币 我没花上那点儿时间
To play the jukebox
去玩那台点唱机
Oh, oh Saturday night would've been a sad and lonely night
啊 那这个周六的夜晚 对我而言
For me
又会是一个悲伤而孤独的夜晚
And if you weren't standin' there ruby lips and golden hair
如果有着红宝石般的嘴唇和金色长发的你
Beside the jukebox
没有站在那台点唱机旁
O'h, oh I'd have lost my chance to hold you while you danced
噢 那我将会遗憾地错过 
With me,
与你并肩共舞的机缘
Mm - mm
啊啊
While the records turn (and turn) and turn (and turn)
当录音带在旋转
We danced (we danced) and learned (and learned)
我们一起学着跳舞
Our hearts (our hearts) had yearned (had yearned) for this
我们的心啊 它在颤抖呻吟
Neath the moon we walked (we walked) and walked (and walked) and talked (and talked)
在月光之下 我们牵手散步 谈情说爱
Of love (of love) and then we kiss--ed
最后 我吻上了你的唇
Now with every sweet caress oh, my darling how I bless
现在 每一次甜蜜地抚摸 我都会庆幸
That little jukebox
当初的我站在了那台点唱机旁
Oh, oh love songs that they sing wouldn't mean a single thing
噢 即便有着红宝石般的嘴唇和金色长发的你 站在那台点唱机旁
Even though you're standing there ruby lips and golden hair
若我没有那一枚硬币 没有花上那点儿时间
If I didn't have a dime and I didn't take the time
去玩那台点唱机
To play the jukebox
那点唱机里的情歌 也将毫无意义

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Now with every sweet caress oh, my darling how I bless
现在 每一次甜蜜地抚摸 我都会庆幸
That little jukebox
当初的我 站在了那台点唱机旁
Oh, oh love songs that they sing wouldn't mean a single thing
噢 即便有着红宝石般的嘴唇和金色长发的你 站在那台点唱机旁
Even though you're standing there ruby lips and golden hair
若我没有那一枚硬币 没有花上那点儿时间
If I didn't have a dime and I didn't take the time
去玩那台点唱机
To play the jukebox
那点唱机里的情歌 也将毫无意义

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
