come dancing
They put a parking lot on a piece of land
他們在一個地方建了停車場
When the supermarket used to stand.
曾經是超級市場地方
Before that they put up a bowling alley
在那之前他們開過一家保齡球場
On the site that used to be the local pally.
那個位置曾經是當地的歡樂場
That's where the big bands used to come and play .
就是大樂隊駐紮演奏的地方
My sister went there on a Saturday.
我的姐姐禮拜六去那裡
Come dancing,
來跳舞吧
All her boyfriends used to come and call.
她所有的男朋友都這樣約她
Why not come dancing, it's only natural?
為什麼不去跳舞呢，這是很自然的事
又一個禮拜六，另一個約會
Another Saturday, another date.
她本該做好準備，可還是讓他們等待
She would be ready but she's always make them wait.
在走廊等待，等待中期待
In the hallway, in anticipation,
他不知道夜晚會以失敗結尾
He didn't know the night would end up in frustration.
一個星期的工資全打了水漂
He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week
緊緊發生了擁抱、輕吻、貼臉頰
All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek.
來跳舞吧
Come dancing,
當我還是個孩子的時候他們就這樣說
That's how they did it when I was just a kid,
當他們說來跳舞吧
And when they said come dancing,
我的姐姐總是應允
My sister always did.
我的姐姐不得不在午夜回家
My sister should have come in a midnight,
我的媽媽總是焦急在家等待
And my mom would always sit up and wait.
大吵一架不可避免
It always ended up in a big row
當我的姐姐習慣了晚回家
When my sister used to get home late.
我能從窗戶裡，看到他們在月光裡
一對影子在花園門口互相道別
Out of my window I can see them in the moonlight,
歡樂場倒閉的那天
Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate.
我的姐姐不停地哭泣
The day they knocked down the pally
歡樂場倒閉的那天
My sister stood and cried.
我的童年的一部分也消失了，消失了
The day they knocked down the pally
現在我長大，在樂隊演奏
Part of my childhood died, just died.
曾經是歡樂場的地方現在是停車場
我的姐姐成了家，在房地產工作
Now I'm grown up and playing in a band,
她的女兒出去玩，輪到她等待
And there's a car park where the pally used to stand.
她知道往事遠去，不能重來
My sister's married and she lives on an estate.
但是我想告訴她，如果可以
Her daughters go out, now it's her turn to wait.
來跳舞吧
She knows they get away with things she never could,
來吧姐姐，去參加舞會
But if I asked her I wonder if she would,
不要害怕跳舞
Come dancing,
這是很自然的事情啦
Come on sister, have yourself a ball.
來跳舞吧
Don't be afraid to come dancing,
就像禮拜六的約會
It's only natural.
所有的朋友都會來跳舞
Come dancing,
在大樂隊曾經演奏的地方
Just like the pally on a Saturday.
And all her friends will come dancing
Where the big bands used to play.
