• 歌手: Judy Garland

歌詞:

[English]

[中文]

With my high-starched collar and my high-top shoes,

穿着高领衣领和高帮鞋，

And my hair piled high upon my head,

头发高高挽起在头上，

I went to lose a jolly hour on the trolley and lost my heart instead.

我去搭乘电车度过快乐时光，却丢了心。

With his light brown derby and his bright green tie,

他戴着浅棕色的硬礼帽，系着亮绿色领带，

He was quite the handsomest of men,

他简直是最英俊的男人，

I started to yen so I counted to ten

我开始心动，数到十，

Then I counted to ten again.

然后再数到十。

Clang, clang, clang went the trolley,

叮叮，电车响着铃声，

Ding, ding, ding went the bell,

叮叮，铃声响起，

Zing, zing, zing went my heartstrings,

心弦弹起“滋”、“滋”、“滋”，

From the moment I saw him I fell.

从那一刻我就坠入爱河。

Chug, chug, chug went the motor,

嗡嗡，马达响着，

Bump, bump, bump went the break,

嘎吱，刹车发出撞击声，

Thump, thump, thump went my heartstrings,

心弦“砰”、“砰”、“砰”，

When he smiled I could feel the car shake.

当他微笑，我还能感觉到车在颤抖。

He tipped his hat and took a seat,

他鞠躬致意，找了个座位，

He said he hoped he hadn't stepped upon my feet.

他说希望没有踩到我脚，

He asked my name, I held my breath,

他问我名字，我屏住呼吸，

I couldn't speak because he scared me half to death.

我说不出话，因为他把我吓得半死。

Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer,

“嗡嗡”、“嗡嗡”、“嗡嗡”的蜂鸣器响起，

Flop, flop, flop went the wheels,

轮子“哗啦哗啦”地转动，

Stop, stop, stop went my heartstrings,

心弦“啪啦啪啦”地绷紧，

As he started to go then I started to know

当他准备离开，我才开始懂得，

How it feels,

那种感觉，

When the universe reels.

当世界都在摇晃。

The day was bright, the air was sweet,

那天阳光明媚，空气芳香，

The smell of honeysuckle charmed you off your feet,

金银花的香味让你心醉神迷，

You tried to sing but couldn't sqeak,

你试图唱歌，却发不出声音，

In fact you loved him so you couldn't even speak.

事实上你如此爱他，甚至无法开口说话。

Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer,

蜂鸣器“嗡嗡”作响，

Flop, flop, flop went the wheels,

轮子“哗啦哗啦”转动，

Stop, stop, stop went my heartstrings,

心弦“啪啦啪啦”紧绷，

As he started to leave,

当他开始离开时，

I took hold of his sleeve with my hand,

我用手抓住他的袖子，

And as if it were planned.

仿佛一切都在计划中，

He stayed on with me

他就在我身边，

And it was grand just to stand

站着多么美好，

With his hand holding mine

他的手握着我的手，

To the end of the line.

直到最后一站。
