Bessie Smith

Bessie was more than just a friend of mine
貝茜已然不止是我的摯友
We shared the good times with the bad
我們甘之如飴
Now many a year has passed me by
如今時光如水從我指縫間流逝
I still recall the best thing I ever had
我還是在思緒著那些曾經擁有的珍貴
Now Im just going down the road to see Bessie
現在我沿著這條路去見貝茜
Oh, see her soon
不久就會見到她
I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith
我踏著紅磚青瓦來見貝茜·史密斯
When I get there Im wondering what shell do
我好奇她會無措嗎當我出現時
All the crazy things I had tried
我嘗試過任何失頻的事情
Well I tried them all and then some
不停地為此試了又試
But if youre lucky one day youll find out
如果你被幸運眷顧，在某一天你會解開
Where it is youre really comin from
是哪個搖籃真正孕育了你的謎底
Now Im just going down the road to see Bessie
現在我沿著這條路去見貝茜
Oh, see her soon
很快就要見到她了
Im just going down the road to see Bessie Smith
穿過八街九陌就能擁抱貝茜·史密斯
When I get there Im wondering what shell do
當我出現我好奇她會是驚喜無措或熱淚盈眶
Now in my day Ive made some foolish moves
在彼時惘然
But back then, I didnt worry about a thing
但重溯那時，我仍不會忡忡憂心
And now again I still wonder to myself
現在我又如墜五里霧
Was it her sweet love or the way that she could sing
這是她對我四溢的愛或只是她笙歌的方式？
Now Im going down the road to se Bessie
現在我踏著這條路去見貝茜
Oh, see her soon
很快就要見到她了
Im just going down the road to see Bessie Smith
我穿過花前月下去擁抱貝茜·史密斯
When I get there Im wondering what shell do
她是否也會擁抱我呢？
