<美好往昔(Same Old Lang Syne)>
Met my old lover in the grocery store
在雜貨店遇見了舊情人
The snow was falling, Christmas Eve
那是個下著雪的耶誕節夜
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
我在冷凍食品區悄悄走到她背後
And I touched her on the sleeve
碰了一下她的衣袖
She didn't recognize the face at first
起初她沒認出我來
But then her eyes flew open wide
但接著她突然睜大眼睛
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
過來擁抱我，她的錢包掉落地上
And we laughed until we cried
我們就這樣笑到淚水滑落
We took her groceries to the checkout stand
我們把她買的東西拿到櫃檯
The food was totaled up and bagged
食物都被裝袋結帳
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
我倆尷尬地站在那兒
As the conversation dragged
就這樣有一搭沒一搭的聊著
We went to have ourselves a drink or two
於是想去喝個兩杯
But couldn't find an open bar
卻找不到一家有開店的酒吧
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store
於是去酒店買了六瓶裝的啤酒
And we drank it in her car
在她車上喝了起來
We drank a toast to innocence
我們為純真乾杯
We drank a toast to now
為此刻乾杯
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
我們試著超越這份空虛
But neither one knew how
卻不知該怎麼做
She said she'd married her an architect
她說她嫁給了一個建築師
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
使她的生活飽暖無虞
She would have liked to say she loved the man
她很想說自己愛那個男人
But she didn't like to lie
卻又不想說謊
I said the years had been a friend to her
我說歲月待她如友
And that her eyes were still as blue
她的雙眼依舊那麼澄藍
But in those eyes I wasn't sure
但我不確定在她眼裡看到的
If I saw doubt or gratitude
究竟是懷疑還是感激
She said she saw me in the record stores
她說她在唱片行裡看到了我的唱片
And that I must be doing well
想說我一定過得很好
I said the audience was heavenly
我說聽眾使你猶如置身天堂
But the traveling was hell
但巡迴演唱卻如同身處地獄
We drank a toast to innocence
我們為純真乾杯
We drank a toast to now
為此刻乾杯
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
我們試著超越這份空虛
But neither one knew how
卻不知該怎麼做
We drank a toast to innocence
我們為純真乾杯
We drank a toast to time
為歲月乾杯
Reliving in our eloquence
我們像回到過去一樣侃侃而談
Another 'Auld Lang Syne'
另一首'美好往昔'
The beer was empty and our tongues were tired
啤酒喝完了，也聊累了
And running out of things to say
再也沒什麼可聊了
She gave a kiss to me as I got out
我下車時，她吻了我
And I watched her drive away
看著她開車離去
Just for a moment I was back at school
那一刻我彷彿又回到了學生時代
And felt that old familiar pain
感到一股熟悉的痛楚
And as I turned to make my way back home
而當我轉身踏上回家的路
The snow turned into rain
雪，竟化成了雨...
