Gilbert Osullivan - Alone Again(Naturally)
~めぞん一刻~ 第24�OP
Lyrics: Gilbert OSullivan
Composition: Gilbert OSullivan
Arrangement: Gilbert OSullivan

如果再過一陣子
In a little while from now,
我的痛苦仍未衰減
if Im not feeling any less sour,
我保證會讓自己好受點
I promise myself to treat myself
走到附近的一座塔上
and visit a nearby tower
爬到塔頂
And climbing to the top
直接跳下去
Will throw myself off
我這麼做是為了
In an effort to
讓某人看清楚
Make it clear to who-
什麼才是
Ever what its like
撕心裂肺的感覺
when youre shattered.
被遺棄的我，顫顫巍巍
Left standing in the lurch
站在教堂裡
At a church
旁人議論紛紛：我的老天爺
Where people saying My God
這也太慘了，她居然失信於他
Thats tough. shes stood him up
我們沒必要繼續下去了
No point in us remaining
心安理得地各回各家吧
we may as well go home
彷彿重回那段自生自滅的日子
As I did on my own;
順其自然地孤苦伶仃
Alone again, Naturally
回想起昨天的時候

我還是興高采烈的
To think that only yesterday,
心裡滿是期待
I was cheerful bright and gay;
試想，有誰會不樂意
Looking forward to,
扮演我即將演繹的角色
well who wouldnt do the role
然而，現實來了個大反轉
I was about to play;
好像一定要把我擊垮
But as if to knock me down,
根本沒花多大力氣
Reality came around;
只是輕輕一碰
And without so much,
便讓我支離破碎
As a mere touch
被懷疑吞沒
Cut me into little pieces;
口中念著
Leaving me to doubt.
大慈大悲的老天爺何在
Talk about
如果他真的存在
God in his mercy, who if
為什麼他會在我心急火燎的時候
He really does exist
棄我於不顧
Why did he desert me
我真的再一次
in my hour of need
順其自然地孤苦伶仃
I truly am indeed
在我看來
Alone again, Naturally.
世界上還有許多和我一樣心碎的人兒

得不到眷顧，無法被修復
It seems to me that there are
我們有何良策？
more hearts broken in the world
我們有何妙計？
That cant be mended Left unattended;
無非是再度順其自然地陷入孤獨
What do we do?
現在想起那些陳年
What do we do?
想起那些往事

我記得父親離世的那一刻
Alone Again, Naturally
我淚如雨下

我從不幻想能掩藏自己的淚水
Now looking back over the years,
六十五歲這個數字
And whatever else that appears;
是上帝平息我母親靈魂的標誌
I remember I cried,
她想也想不通
when my father died.
她心中唯一的愛侶
Never wishing to hide the tears
竟會比她先行一步
And at sixty five years old,
宣告著她的另一個開端
My mother God rest her soul,
伴隨著一顆
Couldnt understand why
破碎不堪的心
The only man
即便我多番鼓勵
She had ever loved had been taken;
也停止不了她的緘默
Leaving her to start.
母親去世那一天
With a heart
我從早哭到晚
So badly broken,
不可避免地重溫孤獨
Despite encouragement from me
不可避免地重溫孤獨
No words were ever spoken
and when she passed away
I cried and cried all day;
Alone again, Naturally
Alone again, Naturally.
