Tea & Toast

Tom was born in 1942
Tom 于1942年出生
With eyes of blue
他拥有蓝色的眼睛
And the doctors said that his birth was far too fast
医生说他出生得太急了

他的心脏两次停跳
His heart stopped twice
但他幸运地活了下来
But yet he survived
当他呼吸第一口空气时
As he took his first breathe
他的妈妈去世了
His mother took her last
尽管他的爸爸知道不该归咎于他

但那之后他的确不再如以往般对待Tom
And his father knew that he wasn't to blame
他极少谈起她
But he never quite looked at Tom the same after that
偶尔开口时

他告诉Tom：你的妈妈过去常常说
And he rarely spoke about her
亲爱的，当天空看起来灰暗
But when he did
你失去了所有希望
He said your mother used to say this
别担心，在黎明的黑暗之后将是灿烂阳光

一切黑暗都将被驱逐
"When the skies are looking bad my dear
天空亦将澄明，亲爱的
And your heart has lost all it's hope
我将与我的挚爱一同醒来

清晨我将使你重新振作
After dawn there will be sunshine
用热腾腾的茶和美味的烤面包
And all the dust will go

Tom在结识的一位朋友向他自我介绍时
Skies will clear my darling
做的第一件事是邀请她跳舞
I'll wake up with the one I love the most
他们便一起翩翩起舞 当一曲终了，音乐渐渐放缓

Tom说：别放开我的手
And in the morning, I'll make you up
他说：为礼所限，我只能问你

如果可以，我们能一起走走，送你回家吗
With some tea and toast"
那晚他向她讲述了自己的出生

他说当自己被伤害时
When we met through a friend
就想起妈妈说过的热茶和烤面包
Who introduced them
时间飞快，两年过去
The first thing Tom said was would you like to dance?
他们恩恩爱爱

出乎意料，他们孕育了一个爱的结晶
They moved with each other and when the music got slower
Tom说：老婆你知道的，我爱你，也爱这个孩子
He said don't let go of my hand
但我赚的只够你们吃饱穿暖

但我真的很爱你们
He said It's only polite if I ask you tonight
一直爱到有一天我死去
Would it be alright, if I could walk you home?
她说我们可以照顾好这个小生命的

我们将爱上她和你一样的湛蓝眼睛
That night he told of of his birth
我们想想主意，总会有办法的
And said when it hurt
她说遗憾的是我没能见过你妈妈
He thought about what his mother said about tea and toast
但我确信，如果能够相见，她会说

亲爱的，当天空看起来灰暗
Two quick years went by
你失去了所有希望
They were side by side
别担心，在黎明的黑暗之后将是灿烂阳光

一切黑暗都将被驱逐
And without a plan, they conceived a little child
天空亦将澄明，亲爱的

我们将毫无保留地爱这个孩子
He said women I love you and this you know
在清晨，我将使你振作
But I only have enough for our food and clothes
用热腾腾的的茶和美味的烤面包
But I love you and this baby
Tom为此所激励
Until the day that I die
为家庭做出了值得骄傲的贡献

他日复一日
She said we'll take care of this little life
争分夺秒地工作
And we'll fall in love with her baby blue eyes
由此他们得以在市中心外围买了一个小房子
And we'll be alright from some advice that I know
他们的小女孩长大了，他们变老了

他们仍每天互相说爱你
She said I never got to meet her
四十年后，即是现在
But if I did, I'm sure your mother would have said this
他们一同在街上漫步时

她仍紧紧握住他的手
"When the skies are looking bad my dear
她摔倒时，他环抱着她

他只听得到她呼吸的声音
And your heart has lost all it's hope
担心的人们环绕着躺在地上的她

眼泪从他的脸颊滚落，"别离开我，无论是从前还是现在"
After dawn there will be sunshine
他坐在病房里，紧挨她的病床

他们的女儿带着一家人走进病房
And all the dust will go
她说：爸爸，我不知道妈妈现在能不能听见你说话

但她现在一定想对你说
Skies will clear my darling
亲爱的，当天空看起来灰暗

你失去了所有希望
We'll show this baby all the love we know
别担心，在黎明的黑暗之后将是灿烂阳光

一切黑暗都将被驱逐
And in the morning, I'll make you up
天空亦将澄明，亲爱的

现在放手吧
With some tea and toast"
我将与你一同在清早醒来

共同享用热茶和烤面包
Well he took those words
And he made them proud
He worked day after day
And hour after hour
So that they could buy a little house on the outside of town

The little girl grew up and so did they
They said that they loved each other everyday
And forty years later, that brings us to now

And as they're walking down the street
Her grip loosens on his hand
He puts his arm around her side as she falls to the ground
He hears her breathing and that's the only sound

Her body on the floor attracts a worried crowd
Tears rolls off his face as he says "don't let go, now"

And he's sitting by her bed in the hospital ward
Their daughter walks in with a family of her own

She says "dad, I don't know if she can hear you now
But there's one thing mum would want you to know"

When the skies are looking bad my dear
And your heart has lost all it's hope

After dawn there will be sunshine

And all the dust will go

Skies will clear my darling

Now it's time for you to let go

I go wake you up in the mornin'

with some tea and toast
