chinese(莉莉·艾倫的歌曲)

創作背景

這首歌講的是母女關係，其中記錄了她與媽媽的一些溫馨的生活細節。

I see you from the sky 我看見你從天而降

And I wonder how long it will take me to get home 並且我想知道我要多久才能回家

I wait for an hour or so at the carousel 我等待一個小時然後就天旋地轉

I have a cigarette to pass the time 我要等一支煙的時間

Cause the traffic's hell 因為這該死的交通堵塞

I don't want anything more 我不想再要其他東西了

Than to see your face when you open the door 只要當你打開門時能看見你容顏就夠了

You'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea 當我們乾杯或者喝茶的時候,你會令我緊張地如此僵硬

And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV並且我們會訂份中餐然後看電視

Tomorrow we'll take the dog for a walk 明天我會帶著狗去散步

And in the afternoon then maybe we'll talk 然後在下午時我們可能會聊聊天

I'll be exhausted so I'll probably sleep 我會因此而精疲力竭,然後我可能會睡覺

And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV 然後我們會訂份中餐然後看電視

You wipe the tears from my eye 你擦拭掉了從我眼睛裡流下的淚水

And you say that all that it takes is a phone call 你說事情全怪那一通電話

I cry at the thought of being alone and then 我一想到自己的孤獨就哭了

I wonder how long it will take til I'm home again 我想知道直到我再一次回家,那會花掉我多少時間

I don't want anything more 我不想再要其他東西了

Than to see your face when you open the door 只要當你打開門時能看見你容顏就夠了

You'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea 當我們乾杯或者喝茶的時候,你會令我緊張地如此僵硬
