No Milk Today

 

 

** No milk today, my love has gone away

The bottle stands ¹⁾forlorn, a symbol of the ²⁾dawn

No milk today, it seems a common sight

But people passing by, don’t know the reason why

 

* How could they know just what this message means

The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams

How could they know a palace there had been

Behind the door, where my love ³⁾reigned as queen

 

No milk today, it wasn’t always so

The company was ⁴⁾gay, we turned night into day **

 

# But all that’s left is a place dark and lonely

A ⁵⁾terraced house in a mean street back of town

Becomes a shrine², when I think of you

Only just two up two down #

 

No milk today, it wasn’t always so

The company was gay, we turned night into day

As music played the faster did we dance

We felt it both at once, the start of our ⁶⁾romance.CE

 

 

13、今天没有牛奶

 

**今天没有牛奶，我的爱人走了

瓶子扔在一旁，告诉我黎明已经到来

今天没有牛奶，这已是司空见惯的事

来来往往的人群，都不知晓这是为何

 

* 他们怎会知道，这其中代表的意味

我的希望已无，我的梦想全已消亡

他们怎会知道，门后有个地方

曾是我爱人女王的领土

 

今天没有牛奶，往昔并非一如今朝

我们曾如此快乐地相伴，直至黑夜变为白日**

 

#还有一处依然暗淡而寂寥

后镇陋巷的房屋

那是圣地，在我想着你的时候

回忆我们的欢乐和我们的痛苦#

 

今天没有牛奶，往昔并非一如今朝

我们曾如此快乐地相伴，直至黑夜变为白日

音乐响起，我们的舞步更快

瞬间彼此感觉，爱情是这样开始了CE
