A Whiter Shade Of Pale

We skipped the light fandango
我們跳著輕快的方丹哥舞
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
側手翻越過地板

I was feeling kinda seasick
我有點暈船

But the crowd called out for more
但群眾吆喝著再來一些

The room was humming harder
屋內越來越吵雜

As the ceiling flew away
天花板好像掀開

When we called out for another drink
我們叫另一盅酒

And the waiter brought a tray
侍者帶了一個托盤

And so it was that later
就在這不久之後

As the miller told his tale
磨坊主人說起他的故事

That her face, at first just ghostly
她的臉起初如鬼魅般

Turned a whiter shade of pale
轉為更淺的蒼白陰影

She said , ＂There is no reason
她說沒有任何原因

And the truth is plain to see.＂
事實顯而易見

But I wandered through my playing cards
但我漫不經心在紙牌間

And they would not let her be
不允許她成為

One of sixteen vestal virgins
十六位灶神的貞僕之一

Who were leaving for the coast
離開我往海邊去

And although my eyes were open wide
雖然我睜開了雙眼

They might have just as well been closed
但不如緊閉著
And so it was that later
就在這不久之後

As the miller told his tale
磨坊主人說起他的故事

That her face, at first just ghostly
她的臉起初如鬼魅般

Turned a whiter shade of pale
轉為更淺的蒼白陰影
And so it was that later
就在這不久之後
