One Of These Things First

Artist：nick drake
Songs Title：one of these things first

我可以是个水手，也可以是个厨师
I could have been a sailor, could have been a cook
一个真正热爱生命的人，甚至是一本书
A real live lover, could have been a book.
我可以是个路牌，也可以是个闹钟
I could have been a signpost, could have been a clock
和水壶一样简单，同石头一样平静
As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock.
我可以享受
I could be
此时此刻
Here and now
我会这样的，我理应如此
I would be, I should be
可如何做呢？
But how?
我可以是
I could have been
最好的那个
One of these things first
我可以是
I could have been
最好的那个
One of these things first.
我可以是你的支柱，也可以是你的大门
I could have been your pillar, could have been your door
我可以到你身边，可以再多停留几时
I could have stayed beside you, could have stayed for more.
可以是你的雕像，可以是你的好友
Could have been your statue, could have been your friend,
直到走到漫长人生的尽头
A whole long lifetime could have been the end.
我可以是你的，真的
I could be yours so true
我会这样，我确实应该这样
I would be, I should be through and through
我可以是
I could have been
最好的那个
One of these things first
我可以是
I could have been
最好的那个
One of these things first.
我可以是个口哨，也可以是个长笛

一个真正乐善好施者，甚至可以是只靴子
I could have been a whistle, could have been a flute
我可以是个路牌，也可以是个闹钟
A real live giver, could have been a boot.
和水壶一样简单，同石头一样平静
I could have been a signpost, could have been a clock
我甚至可以在此地
As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock.
我会的，我也应该万分靠近
I could be even here
我可以是
I would be, I should be so near
最好的那个
I could have been
我可以是
One of these things first
最好的那个
I could have been
One of these things first.
