[00:00.00] 作词 : Hannon
[00:23.00] Back in the day you had been part of the smart set
[00:28.00] You'd holidayed with kings, dined out with starlets
[00:34.00] From London to New York, Cap Ferrat to Capri
[00:39.00] In perfume by Chanel and clothes by Givenchy
[00:45.00] You sipped camparis with David and Peter
[00:50.00] At Noel's parties by Lake Geneva
[00:56.00] Scaling the dizzy heights of high society
[01:01.00] Armed only with a cheque-book and a family tree
[01:07.00]
[01:07.00] You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
[01:12.00] Until the light of youth became obscured
[01:17.00] And left you on your own and in the shade
[01:23.00] An English lady of a certain age
[01:29.00] And if a nice young man would buy you a drink
[01:34.00] You'd say with a conspiratorial wink
[01:39.00] "You wouldn't think that I was seventy"
[01:45.00] And he'd say,"no, you couldn't be!"
[01:52.00]
[01:52.00] You had to marry someone very very rich
[01:59.00] So that you might be kept in the style to which
[02:04.00] You had all of your life been accustomed to
[02:10.00] But that the socialists had taxed away from you
[02:14.00] You gave him children, a girl and a boy
[02:20.00] To keep your sanity a nanny was employed
[02:25.00]
[02:26.00] And when the time came they were sent away
[02:31.00] Well that was simply what you did in those days
[02:37.00]
[02:37.00] You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
[02:42.00] Until the light of youth became obscured
[02:47.00] And left you on your own and in the shade
[02:52.00] An English lady of a certain age
[02:59.00] And if a nice young man would buy you a drink
[03:04.00] You'd say with a conspiratorial wink
[03:10.00] "You wouldn't think that I was sixty three"
[03:15.00] And he'd say,"no, you couldn't be!
[03:24.00]
[03:24.00] Your son's in stocks and bonds and lives back in Surrey
[03:29.00] Flies down once in a while and leaves in a hurry
[03:34.00] Your daughter never finished her finishing school
[03:41.00] Married a strange young man of whom you don't approve
[03:45.00] Your husband's hollow heart gave out one Christmas Day
[03:51.00] He left the villa to his mistress in Marseilles
[03:57.00] And so you come here to escape your little flat
[04:02.00] Hoping someone will fill your glass and let you chat about how
[04:07.00]
[04:07.00] You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
[04:13.00] Until the light of youth became obscured
[04:18.00] And left you all alone and in the shade
[04:24.00] An English lady of a certain age
[04:29.00] And if a nice young man would buy you a drink
[04:35.00] You'd say with a conspiratorial wink
[04:40.00] "You wouldn't think that I was fifty three"
[04:46.00] And he'd say,"no, you couldn't be!

[00:23.00] 从前你是聪明人
[00:28.00] 你和国王一起度假,和小明星一起吃饭
[00:34.00] 从伦敦到纽约,菲拉特船长到卡普里
[00:39.00] 香奈儿的香水和纪梵希的服装
[00:45.00] 你与大卫、彼得在巴黎小酌
[00:50.00] 在日内瓦湖边诺埃尔的派对上
[00:56.00] 攀登上上流社会令人晕眩的高峰
[01:01.00] 只带着支票簿和家谱
[01:07.00] 你在蓝色海岸追逐太阳
[01:12.00] 直到青春逝去
[01:17.00] 让你一个人呆在阴凉处
[01:23.00] 一定年龄的英国女士
[01:29.00] 如果有一个帅气的年轻人请你喝一杯
[01:34.00] 你狡黠的眨眨眼
[01:39.00] “你不会认为我70岁”
[01:45.00] 他会说:“不,你不可能!”
[01:52.00] 你不得不嫁给一个非常富有的人
[01:59.00] 可以让你一直过着奢侈糜烂的日子
[02:04.00] 你已经习惯了这种生活
[02:10.00] 但是社会主义者对你征税
[02:14.00] 你给了他孩子,一个女孩和一个男孩
[02:20.00] 为让你保持清醒,雇佣了一个保姆
[02:26.00] 到了时候,他们就打发走
[02:31.00] 那时候你就是这么做的
[02:37.00] 你在蓝色海岸追逐太阳
[02:42.00] 直到青春逝去
[02:47.00] 让你一个人呆在阴凉处
[02:52.00] 一定年龄的英国女士
[02:59.00] 如果有一个帅气的年轻人请你喝一杯
[03:04.00] 你狡黠的眨眨眼
[03:10.00] “你不会认为我63岁”
[03:15.00] 他会说:“不,你不可能!”
[03:24.00] 你的儿子投资股票和债券,住在萨力郡
[03:29.00] 偶尔飞下来,匆匆离开
[03:34.00] 你的女儿没有完成学业
[03:41.00] 嫁了一个你不看好的奇怪的年轻人
[03:45.00] 你丈夫那颗空虚的心在圣诞节飞破灭了
[03:51.00] 他把别墅留给了马赛的情妇
[03:57.00] 你来到这里,逃离了你的小别墅
[04:02.00] 多希望有人为你斟满酒杯,让你聊聊如何斟满
[04:07.00] 你在蓝色海岸追逐太阳
[04:13.00] 直到青春逝去
[04:18.00] 让你一个人呆在阴凉处
[04:24.00] 一定年龄的英国女士
[04:29.00] 如果有一个帅气的年轻人请你喝一杯
[04:35.00] 你狡黠的眨眨眼
[04:40.00] “你不会认为我53岁”
[04:46.00] 他会说:“不,你不可能!”
