She  Elvis Costello

She
May be the face I can't forget
A trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
She may be the song that summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day

She
May be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
A smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell

She who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them when they cry
She may be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
That I'll remember till the day I die

She
May be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I'll care for through the rough and ready years
Me I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
The meaning of my life is

She, she, she

  艾維斯柯斯提洛


也許是我忘不了的容顏
  是我歡愉或悔恨的痕跡
也許是我的寶藏,或是我必須付出的代價
她也許是夏天唱出的歌
 也許是秋天帶來的蕭瑟
 也許是千百種化身
在一天之中


也許是美女、是野獸
也許是飢荒、是盛宴
使每一天成為天堂或地獄
她也許是我夢的鏡子
倒映在溪水中的笑容
她也許不像外表看來那樣
在她的軀殼中

她,似乎在人群中永遠快樂無比
她的雙眼如此自我又如此驕傲
沒有人能看見它們哭泣的樣子
她也許是無望繼續的愛情
也許成為我過往的陰影
直到我死去那天,我都會記得


也許是我活下去的理由
  是我依然活著的原因
不論艱難或平安的歲月我都願照顧的人
我將保存她的笑容與淚水
將它們做成紀念品
不論她到哪裡去,我將跟隨
她是我人生的意義
