Lilac Wine Lyrics

丁香酒

(J. Shelton)

Originally performed by Elkie Brooks, but actually inspired to the version sung by Nina Simone

I lost myself on a cool damp night

我在一个清冷潮湿的夜晚迷失了我自己

I Gave myself in that misty light

我让自己置身于朦胧的光影中

Was hypnotized by a strange delight

莫名而又陌生的快乐使我恍惚

Under a lilac tree

在一棵丁香树下

I made wine from the lilac tree

我酿着丁香酒

Put my heart in its recipe

我的心也是这配方

It makes me see what I want to see

这让我看到我所想看的

and be what I want to be

也让我成为我想要成为的

?When? (But) I think more than I want to think

何时，我思考的比我所要思考的更多

Do things I never should do

做了我永远不该做的

I drink much more than I ought to drink

我喝了比我所能喝的还多

Because (it) brings me back ?you? (in)...

因为这把我带回到你身边

Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love

丁香酒既是甜蜜，又是猛烈的，就像我的爱

Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love

丁香酒，我感到不安，就像我的爱

Listen to me... I cannot see clearly

听我说，我已经看不清

Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?

那是不是她，在向我靠近

Lilac wine is sweet and heady where's my love?

丁香酒既是甜蜜，又是猛烈的，我的爱在哪

Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where's my love?

丁香酒，我感到不安，我的爱在哪

Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?

听我说，为何一切如此朦胧

Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear?

亲爱的，那是不是她，或只是我的疯狂

Lilac Wine, I feel unready for my love,

丁香酒，我的爱我感到不安

feel unready for my love.

我还没准备好迎接我的爱
