I've heard so much about you

我听说过很多关于你的事

I'm amazed, for I'm only an actress (a soldier)

我很惊讶，因为我只是一个女演员（一个士兵）

Nothing to shout about (One of the thousands)

没什么值得大声宣扬的（成千上万中的一个）

Only a girl on the air (Defending the country he loves)

只是一个在空中飞翔的女孩（捍卫她所爱的国家）

But when you act, the things you do affect us all

但当你行动时，你所做的事情影响着我们所有人

But when you act, you take us away from the squalor of the real world

但当你行动时，你把我们带离了现实世界的肮脏

Are you here on your own?

你是一个人来的吗？

Yes, oh yes

是的，哦，是的

So am I, what a fortunate coincidence

我也是，真是个幸运的巧合

Maybe you're my reward for my efforts here tonight

也许你是我今晚努力的回报

It seems crazy but you must believe

There's nothing calculated, nothing planned

没有什么是计算好的，没有什么是计划好的

Please forgive me if I seem naive

I would never want to force your hand

But please understand, I'd be good for you

但请理解，我会对你很好

I don't always rush in like this

Twenty seconds after saying hello

Telling strangers I'm too good to miss

告诉陌生人我太好了，不能错过

If I'm wrong I hope you'll tell me so

But you really should know, I'd be good for you

I'd be surprisingly good for you

I won't go on if I'm boring you

But do you understand my point of view?

Do you like what you hear, what you see

And would you be, good for me too?

I'm not talking of a hurried night

A frantic tumble then a shy goodbye

疯狂的翻滚然后是害羞的告别

Creeping home before it gets too light

That's not the reason that I caught your eye

Which has to imply, I'd be good for you
