英语歌曲:Don't Know Why

Don't Know Why
Sing by Norah Jones
 

I waited 'til I saw the sun

I don't know why I didn't come

I left you by the house of fun

I don't know why I didn't come

I don't know why I didn't come

When I saw the break of day

I wished that I could fly away

Instead of kneeling¹ in the sand

Catching² teardrops in my hand

My heart is drenched³ in wine

But you'll be on my mind

Forever

Out across the endless sea

I would die in ecstacy

But I'll be a bag of bones

Driving down the road alone

My heart is drenched in wine

But you'll be on my mind

Forever

Something has to make you run

I don't know why I didn't come

I feel as empty as a drum

I don't know why I didn't come

I don't know why I didn't come

I don't know why I didn't come

参考译文：

不知何故

枯等到看见清晨第一道曙光

我也不知道自己为何没出现

我将你留在游乐屋前

我也不知道自己为何没出现

当我看见第一道晨曦

我愿自己能飞离

而不是跑坐在沙滩下

双手盛满了泪水

我的心被酒精覆盖

但你一直在我的脑海里

永远

在无尽的海洋之外

我愿意在狂喜中死去

但我不过是个行尸走肉

孤独行走

我的心被酒精覆盖

但你一直在我的脑海里

永远

某些事让你必须离开

我不懂自己为何没出现

我就像个空心的鼓

我也不懂自己为何没出现
