A Whiter Shade of Pale

We skipped the light fandango
我们跳着轻快的方丹哥舞
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
侧手翻越过地板

I was feeling kinda seasick
我有点晕船

But the crowd called out for more
但群眾吆喝著再來一些

The room was humming harder
屋内越来越吵杂

As the ceiling flew away
天花板好像掀開

When we called out for another drink
我们叫另一盅酒

And the waiter brought a tray
侍者带了一个托盘

And so it was that later
就在这不久之后

As the miller told his tale
磨坊主人说起他的故事

That her face, at first just ghostly
她的脸 起初如鬼魅般

Turned a whiter shade of pale
转为更浅的苍白阴影

She said, ＂There is no reason
她说没有任何原因

And the truth is plain to see.＂
事实显而易见

But I wandered through my playing cards
但我漫不经心在纸牌间

And they would not let her be
不允许她成为

One of sixteen vestal virgins
十六位灶神的贞仆之一

Who were leaving for the coast
离开我往海边去

And although my eyes were open wide
虽然我睁开了双眼

They might have just as well been closed
但不如紧闭着
And so it was that later
就在这不久之后

As the miller told his tale
磨坊主人说起他的故事

That her face, at first just ghostly
她的脸 起初如鬼魅般

Turned a whiter shade of pale
转为更浅的苍白阴影
And so it was that later
就在这不久之后
