There was a pool table there at the wedding 有在婚礼上是一张台球桌出现

That most of the men stood and played 大部分的人站在那里，并发挥

Whilst the women danced in their melancholy 虽然妇女在忧郁跳舞

Till the last record started to fade 直到最后一条记录开始褪色

And as D.J. turned the lights up 而作为D.J。开灯了

And packed his records away 和收拾记录远

He noticed a lonely figure still there 他注意到一个孤独的身影依然存在

So quietly turned to say 就这样悄悄地转过身说

   

Tears you thought lasted a lifetime 眼泪你觉得受用终生

Won't last too much more than a day 不会持续超过一天得更多

And you'll prove that you still have your strength left 而且你会证明你仍然有你的力气

When you wipe those tears well away, well away 当你擦眼泪好远，好远

   

Roses in garden bring joy to the bleak 在花园里的玫瑰带来欢乐惨淡

Lilies save wretched from worse 百合挽救糟糕的猥琐

Music lifts up those too weary to speak 音乐抬起那些过于疲惫的发言

So, sister you sing the next verse 所以，姐姐你唱歌下一节

   

The path in life that you have taken 已经采取了人生的道路

I can figure out just from your frown 我可以计算出从你的皱眉

Either it's down the up escalator 无论是它的下了扶梯

Or maybe sometimes up the down 或者，也许有时可达下行

And you may not feel that you have travelled 而你可能不觉得你走过

But sure as hell been across town 但肯定是地狱是跨城市

And certainly if story unravelled 当然，如果故事揭开

You've lost more than you ever found 你已经失去了超过你有没有发现

   

One thing's for certain I've travelled 有一件事是肯定的，我走

And a not too dissimilar route 而一个不太不同的路线

Those ups and downs and rounds after rounds 那些跌宕起伏，轮轮后

You're wearing them just like a suit, like a suit 你穿着它们就像一个套装，像西装

   

So if roses bring joy to the bleak 所以，如果玫瑰带来欢乐惨淡

Lilies save wretched from worse 百合挽救糟糕的猥琐

Music lifts up those too weary to speak 音乐抬起那些过于疲惫的发言

Then D.J. I'll take the next verse 然后D.J。我会好好把握接下来的诗句

   

So sister judge strength not by muscle 所以姐姐法官强度不肌肉

Or weight that your body can lift 或重量，你的身体可以解除

But by heavyweight heart that you carry 但到了重量级的心脏，你随身携带

That no other young woman could shift 没有其他的年轻女人能转移

Hey Mr D.J. a special request 嘿D.J。先生特殊要求

Play that last record for me 打了最后一个记录我

And make it as long and as painfully sad 并使其长期的，痛苦悲伤

As any slow ballad could be 任何缓慢的民谣可能
