Black Coffee - Ella Fitzgerald (埃拉·菲茨杰拉德)
Written by:Paul Francis Webster
I'm feeling mighty lonesome
我深感寂寞
Haven't slept a wink
一刻也不能入睡
I walk the floor and watch the door
在地板上来来回回 无神地望着门
And in between I drink
期间品着
Black coffee
黑咖啡
Love's a hand me down brew
爱人递给我一杯酒
I'll never know a Sunday
我从未料到在一个星期天
In this week day room
在这个工作室
I'm talking to the shadows
我只能和影子对话
1 o'clock 'til for
从一点说到四点
And Lord how slow the moments go
主啊 时光怎么走得这样慢
When all I do is pour
而我只能倒掉那一杯杯
Black coffee
黑咖啡
Since the blues caught my eye
忧伤蒙蔽了我的眼睛
I'm hanging out on Monday
周一我闲逛在外
My sunday dreams to dry
周日也没有什么想要做的事
Now a man is born to go a lovin'
没有人生来就会爱
A woman's born to weep and fret
但是女人 天性喜哭 易烦躁
To stay at home and tend her oven
适于守家做饭
And drown her past regrets
将过去的悔恨
In coffee and cigarettes
浸泡于咖啡和香烟中
I'm moaning all the morning
整个早上我都在悲叹
Mourning all the night
一直到夜晚
And in between it's nicotine
以尼古丁为伴
And not much heart to fight
没有心力去抗争
Black coffee
黑咖啡
Feelin' low as the ground
心情跌到低谷
It's driving me crazy
它逼得我发疯
Just waiting for my baby
只能苦苦等待着我的宝贝
To maybe come around
也许会回来吧
My nerves have gone to pieces
精力一点点被消磨殆尽
My hair is turning gray
头发也已变得花白
All I do is drink black coffee
自从我的男人离开后
Since my man's gone away
我只能一杯杯地喝着苦咖啡
