The Way It Used To Be

The Way It Used To Be
-Engelbert Humperdinck
Lonely table just for one
伶仃的單人桌
In a bright and crowded room
在明亮擁擠的房間中
While the music has begun
當音樂響起時
I drink to memories in the gloom
我憂鬱的飲醉入回憶中
Though the musics still the same
雖然還是那首曲
It has a bittersweet refrain
它有苦樂參半的副歌
So play the song the way it used to be
所以請像原先那樣演奏這首歌
Before she left and changed it all to sadness
在她離開把這全變成悲傷之前
And maybe if shes passing by the window
也許她路過窗口
She will hear a love song
她將聽到一首情歌
And a melody
和悅耳的旋律
And even if the words are not so tender
儘管歌詞不甚溫柔
She will always remember
她只會記得
The way it used to be
這歌以前的樣子
Friends stop by and say hello
朋友來打招呼
And I laugh and hide the pain
我用笑容隱藏痛苦
Its quite easy til they go
他們走之前還算輕鬆
Then the song begins again
然後旋律再次響起
So play the song the way it used to be
所以請像原先那樣演奏這首歌
Before she left and changed it all to sadness
在她離開把這全變成悲傷之前
And maybe if shes passing by the window
也許她路過窗口
She will hear a love song
她將聽到一首情歌
And a melody
和悅耳的旋律
And even if the words are not so tender
儘管歌詞不甚溫柔
She will always remember
她只會記得
The way it used to be
這歌以前的樣子
