Once I lived the life of wine and roses 有一次，我住的葡萄酒和玫瑰人生

And I drank a lot back then for one concern 我喝了很多当时的首要关注事项

Success for me lay just around the corner 成功为我打下指日可待

I thought my social friends would help me make the turn 我以为我的社会朋友会帮我做转弯

   

But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses 但现在我付了酒和玫瑰的日子

A victim of the drunken life I chose 醉酒的生活，我选择的受害者

Now all my social friends look down their noses 现在，我所有的社会朋友看不起

'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose 因为我不停的葡萄酒和扔掉的玫瑰

   

I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me 我站在看着瓶子取控制我

The turn I made was not the one I'd planned 我在转牌是不是那个我计划

And I watched my social standings slip away from me 我看着我的社会榜上从我身边溜走

While I watched the bottle slowly take command 当我看着瓶子慢慢把命令

   

And now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses 而现在我付了酒和玫瑰的日子

A victim of the drunken life I chose 醉酒的生活，我选择的受害者

Now all my social friends look down their noses 现在，我所有的社会朋友看不起

'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose 因为我不停的葡萄酒和扔掉的玫瑰

'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose 因为我不停的葡萄酒和扔掉的玫瑰
