Lyrics:

[English]

[中文]

It can't be said I'm an early bird

要说我是早起的鸟儿，那可算不上

It's ten o'clock before I say a word

不到十点，我都不愿多说一句

Baby, I can never tell

宝贝，我永远也搞不懂

How do you sleep so well?

你怎么能睡得如此香甜？

You keep telling me to live right

你一直叫我活得像样点

To go to bed before the daylight

要在天亮前就上床睡觉

But then you wake up for the sunrise

但你却为了日出而醒来

You know you don't gotta pretend, baby, now and then

你知道你不必总是伪装，宝贝，偶尔就好

Don't you just wanna wake up, dark as a lake?

难道你不想醒来，像湖水般深邃幽暗吗？

Smelling like a bonfire, lost in a haze?

闻起来像篝火，迷失在烟雾之中？

If you're drunk on life, babe, I think it's great

如果你沉醉于生活，宝贝，我觉得很好

But while in this world

但身处这世间

I think I'll take my whiskey neat

我想我还是喜欢纯饮威士忌

My coffee black and my bed at three

我的咖啡要纯黑，三点才上床

You're too sweet for me

你对我来说太甜腻

You're too sweet for me

你对我来说太甜腻

I take my whiskey neat

我喜欢纯饮威士忌

My coffee black and my bed at three

我的咖啡要纯黑，三点才上床

You're too sweet for me

你对我来说太甜腻

You're too sweet for me

你对我来说太甜腻

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

呜喔，呜喔

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

呜喔，呜喔

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

呜喔，呜喔

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

呜喔，呜喔

I aim low

我的目标很低

I aim true and the ground's where I go

目标明确，最终归于尘土

I work late where I'm free from the phone

我在没有电话打扰的地方工作到深夜

And the job gets done

工作也得以完成

But you worry some, I know

但我知道，你有些担心

But who wants to live forever, babe?

但谁又想永远活下去呢，宝贝？

You treat your mouth as if it's Heaven's gate

你对待你的嘴唇，仿佛那是天堂之门

The rest of you like you're the TSA

而你其他的方面，就像美国运输安全管理局（TSA）一样严苛

I wish I could go along, babe, don't get me wrong

我希望我能跟你一样，宝贝，别误会

You know you're bright as the morning, as soft as the rain

你知道你像清晨般明媚，像雨水般温柔

Pretty as a vine, as sweet as a grape

像藤蔓般美丽，像葡萄般甜美

If you can sit in a barrel, maybe I'll wait

如果你能安稳地坐在酒桶里，也许我会等待

Until that day

直到那天到来

I'd rather take my whiskey neat

我还是喜欢纯饮威士忌

My coffee black and my bed at three

我的咖啡要纯黑，三点才上床

You're too sweet for me

你对我来说太甜腻

You're too sweet for me

你对我来说太甜腻

I take my whiskey neat

我喜欢纯饮威士忌

My coffee black and my bed at three

我的咖啡要纯黑，三点才上床

You're too sweet for me

你对我来说太甜腻

You're too sweet for me

你对我来说太甜腻

Whoa, oh-oh

喔，喔喔

Whoa, oh-oh

Grammar:

• It can't be said I'm an early bird

• You keep telling me to live right

  ➔ 动名词/不定式 (keep + 动名词, tell + 不定式)

• Don't you just wanna wake up, dark as a lake?

  ➔ 比较形容词 (as...as)

  ➔ “I'll take” 表达了一种自发的决定，是在说话时做出的，关于说话者喜欢如何喝威士忌的偏好。

• But you worry some, I know

  ➔ 强调语 'some'

  ➔ 在 “worry” 之后使用 “some” 表示一定程度的担忧，但并非过度。这是说 “你有点担心” 的一种不太强烈的方式。

• You treat your mouth as if it's Heaven's gate

  ➔ 虚拟语气

  ➔ 短语 “as if it's Heaven's gate” 意味着一种假设的情况。虽然没有正式使用虚拟语气，但这种情感暗示了与某种理想化和可能不真实的事物的比较。
