Les vacances au bord de la mer --- 海邊假期 On allait au bord de la mer 我們來到海邊
Avec mon père, ma sœur, ma mère 跟著我的爸爸媽媽和妹妹
On regardait les autres gens 我們看著其他人
Comme ils dépensaient leur argent 揮霍他們的金錢
Nous, il fallait faire attention 然而, 我們必須錙銖必較
Quand on avait payé 當我們付清
Le prix d'une location 這次房租後
Il ne nous restait pas grand-chose 我們的所剩無多
Alors on regardait les bateaux 我們看著來往的船隻
On suçait des glaces à l'eau 我們吸允著冰塊
Les palaces, les restaurants 那些皇宮, 餐廳
On n' faisait que passer d'vant 我們只能在門前匆匆經過
Et on regardait les bateaux 我們看著來往的船隻
Le matin on s' réveillait tôt 一大早我們就醒來
Sur la plage, pendant des heures 在沙灘上打發好幾個小時
On prenait de belles couleurs 我們的身上染成美麗的古銅色
On allait au bord de la mer 我們來到海邊
Avec mon père, ma sœur, ma mère 跟著我的爸爸媽媽和妹妹
Et quand les vagues étaient tranquilles 當海浪寧靜時
On passait la journée aux îles 我們待在小島打發一整天
Sauf quand on pouvait déjà plus 直到我們厭倦了為止
Alors on regardait les bateaux 我們看著來往的船隻
On suçait des glaces à l'eau 我們吸允著冰塊
On avait l' cœur un peu gros 雖然我們有些感傷
Mais c'était quand même beau 但一切仍然美好
Smile though your heart is aching Smile even though it's breaking When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by If you smile through your fear and sorrow Smile and maybe tomorrow You'll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear may be ever so near That's the time you must keep on trying Smile, what's the use of crying? You'll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile
That's the time you must keep on trying Smile, what's the use of crying? You'll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile
Yes, I've seen the UFO once in my life. That was more than 2 decades ago, with my younger sister.
It was around 9pm, we kids were forced to be in bed and we weren't sleepy at all. Our heads were facing 4 big windows which overlooked a bamboo forest. Unexpectedly, we saw that flying thing moving slowly toward us. With such a silent movement and sparkling green-orange lights around it, we forgot to be panic until we sensed that saucer might break through the windows. We ran to our parents and of course, the flying saucer was nowhere to be found when we all returned to the bedroom.
Few years later, my sister died in a massive car accident. It took us so many years to recover from this painful experience. A few more years passed by, I talked about our witnesses of the flying saucer to my dad again, he finally buys my story and he convinces himself that our beloved sis was taken away by the little creatures from the UFO. Now we all believe that she lives happily in the outer space.
What good can drinkin' do, what good can drinkin' do?
Lord, I drink all night but the next day I still feel blue
There's a glass on the table, they say it's gonna ease all my pain,
And there's a glass on the table, they say it's gonna ease all my pain
But I drink it down, an' the next day I feel the same
Gimme whiskey, gimme bourbon, give me gin
Oh, gimme whiskey, give me bourbon, gimme gin
'Cause it don't matter what I'm drinkin', Lord, as long as it drown this sorrow I'm in
I start drinking Friday, I start drinking Friday night
Lord, I start drinking Friday, start drinking Friday night
But then I wake up on Sunday, child, there ain't nothin' that's right
My man he left me, child, he left me here
Yeah, my good man left me, went away and left me here
Lord, I'm feelin' lowdown, just give me another glass of beer
What good can drinkin' do, what good can drinkin' do?
Well, I drink all night but the next day I still feel blue!
