I Hate This Town
Horrifying as it was for me
就像过去每一次一样
To see your face today,
在今天见到你,让我十分惊骇
I guess I knew that it would happen at some point.
我曾猜到你会来
And I dreaded it because I knew
这太让人害怕了
That you would be so kind.
因为你总是表现得特别和蔼体贴
You're good at that
你很擅长这事儿
you've got it right down to a science.
之前你把它做得就像一门科学一样
So you observe the strict rules laid out in the books of etiquette
严格遵守着教导礼仪的书里所授的每一条规则
And tell me you hope I enjoy my stay.
然后体贴地对我说,希望我喜欢我的住所
And I feel numb, and I can't believe
听到这话我惊呆了,真不敢相信
That I was stupid enough to leave my bed today.
我居然蠢到在今天选择了起床而不是睡一天
If I'm so smart, then why is this happening?
如果我足够聪明的话,又怎么会碰见你?
You know, I hate this ******* town.
你知道吗,我恨这座该死的城镇
You cannot even leave your ******* house
我甚至不能离开我那该死的破房子
Without running into someone who no longer cares about you--
每天见不到那个我还在乎、却不再在乎我的人
Somebody whom you desperately want to see,
那个我不顾一切也想见到的人
But you know it's only going to cause more grief
你知道吗,说这些只会让我平添痛苦
'Cause there is nothing left to say,
我也没别的可说了
And he can't hear you anyway.
那个人他又听不到
It's so confusing 'cause I really want
我有点混乱,因为我真的想要恨你
To hate you, but my intellect reminds me
但我的理智提醒我
That that doesn't make no sense.
这样的恨毫无意义
And I wanted to be your friend,
我还蛮想跟你做朋友
But I couldn't pull it off in the end.
但我最终肯定不会成功的
And I'm disappointed with myself because I thought I could.
我还以为自己可以呢,这让我感到失望
But then again you always made it clear
之后,你总是不断地申明
That you do not care either way--
无论如何你都不在意——
Which begs the question,
但这就引出了一个问题
"How can I still claim to love you?"
我怎么还能继续声称爱你?
You told me time and time again
你一遍又一遍的跟我说
That you don't lose--you always win--
我从不失败,你总是成功
And that to make an effort would just be beneath you.
不断努力却还一直在你之下
You know, I hate this ******* town.
你知道吗,我恨这座该死的城镇
You cannot even leave your ******* house
我甚至不能离开我那该死的破房子
Without running into someone who no longer cares about you--
每天见不到那个我还在乎、却不再在乎我的人
Somebody whom you desperately want to see,
那个我不顾一切也想见到的人
But you know it's only going to cause more grief
你知道吗,说这些只会让我平添痛苦
'Cause there is nothing left to say.
我也没别的可说了
He can't hear you anyway.
那个人他又听不到
Now, I'm packing my bags again,
现在,我又要开始收拾行囊了
And you are not inside of them.
而你,不在他们之中
