[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!” |
