[00:13.680]A teacher had you write a letter' you were eight years old
[00:16.420]八岁那年老师让你写信 畅想未来模样
[00:16.420]About the man that you'd become and the positions you'd hold
[00:19.480]描绘你将成就的事业 与肩负的责任担当
[00:19.480]But this was long before you and Jackie Jaronimo met
[00:22.890]那时你尚未遇见 命中注定的杰姬姑娘
[00:22.890]In the Prelude Park at midnight
[00:24.820]午夜前奏公园的邂逅 开启人生新篇章
[00:24.820]Now when it came to bells and whistles' Jackie did not lack
[00:27.880]杰姬从不缺少 让人心动的魅力光芒
[00:27.880]And when she kissed you on the kisser' boy' you kissed her back
[00:30.750]当她献上香吻 你便热烈回应不彷徨
[00:30.750]Now you tell her that you love her and she cuts you slack
[00:33.440]如今你说爱她 她总对你格外宽容体谅
[00:33.440]When you drink with your buddies on the weekend
[00:37.240]周末与老友举杯畅饮时
[00:37.240]And the weeks fly by and the years roll on
[00:41.800]周复一周 年复一年飞逝
[00:41.800]You spend your whole life dropping nickles in the bucket
[00:44.620]投尽毕生积蓄于存钱罐
[00:44.620]Waking up at dawn
[00:47.930]又在黎明时分醒来
[00:47.930]And while Jackie bestowed the joys of fingerlickin'
[00:53.930]当Jackie带来吮指欢愉时
[00:53.930]That clock up on the wall was a tickin'
[00:59.720]墙上时钟始终滴答作响
[00:59.720]You got yourself a job cleaning hospital floors
[01:02.410]你在医院擦地谋生
[01:02.410]While Jackie had a baby and she had five more
[01:05.210]而Jackie接连生下六个婴孩
[01:05.210]They pay you just enough to drag your a** to the store
[01:08.270]微薄薪水仅够你拖着疲惫身躯去杂货店
[01:08.270]To buy bread' milk and better homes and gardens
[01:11.080]买面包牛奶 翻看家居杂志里的梦幻图景
[01:11.080]Jackie flips the pages and she dreams little dreams
[01:14.080]杰姬轻抚书页 做着小小的梦
[01:14.080]A cottage in the country built with real wood beams
[01:16.820]乡间木梁小屋在纸间若隐若现
[01:16.820]There's a baby in the bedroom' he's starting to scream
[01:19.680]卧室里婴孩突然啼哭不止
[01:19.680]She holds him' though he probably won't remember
[01:23.180]她抱起他 尽管这段温存终将被遗忘
[01:23.180]And the weeks fly by and the years roll on
[01:27.620]周复一周 年复一年飞逝
[01:27.620]Sometimes dreams are all you've got
[01:29.430]有时梦想是你仅存的慰藉
[01:29.430]To keep you going when the day gets long
[01:33.800]当长日漫漫 支撑你继续前行
[01:33.800]And you gave up so many just to make a living
[01:39.560]为谋生计 你放弃太多憧憬
[01:39.560]That clock up on the wall was a tickin'
[01:45.300]墙上时钟始终滴答作响
[01:45.300]Now the kids were all grateful when they left the nest
[01:48.350]孩子们离巢时满怀感恩
[01:48.350]And Jackie wasn't perfect but she did her best
[01:51.110]杰姬虽不完美却倾尽所能
[01:51.110]She sees the opportunity to get you some rest
[01:53.850]她总想为你觅得片刻安宁
[01:53.850]But you can't sleep on the account of screaming grandkids
[01:56.790]但孙辈的哭闹让你彻夜难眠
[01:56.790]The golden years are meant to leave a gleam in your eye
[02:00.210]金色年华本该眼中闪着光
[02:00.210]You're starting to discover it's a great big lie
[02:02.460]你却开始发现那是个天大谎言
[02:02.460]They work you like a dog until you quit or you die
[02:05.210]他们把你当牛马直到你倒下或死去
[02:05.210]But you can't quit because Jackie needs the benefits
[02:08.760]可你不能放弃 因为Jackie需要医保
[02:08.760]And the weeks fly by and the years roll on
[02:13.500]周复一周 年复一年飞逝
[02:13.500]They say patience is a virtue
[02:15.440]都说耐心是种美德
[02:15.440]But the doctor says she don't have long
[02:19.490]但医生说她的时日无多
[02:19.490]You stood up and tried your damndest not to listen
[02:25.110]你站起身 竭尽全力充耳不闻
[02:25.110]But that clock up on the wall was a tickin'
[02:43.700]但墙上时钟的滴答声 声声入耳
[02:43.700]When they told you to clear the room' that's when it hit you
[02:53.310]当被要求清空房间时 你才恍然惊觉
[02:53.310]You watched as a caravan took your sweetheart away
[03:02.490]眼睁睁看着车队载走你心爱之人
[03:02.490]The arguments and the fights and money troubles seem so worthless as
[03:11.160]昔日的争吵与金钱困扰 此刻都显得如此微不足道
[03:11.160]As the kids throw yellow roses on her grave
[03:21.270]当孩子们将黄玫瑰撒落她的墓前
[03:21.270]And the weeks fly by and the years roll on
[03:28.940]周复一周 年复一年飞逝
[03:28.940]The house is quiet now and everything inside it seems to know she's gone
[03:38.370]如今屋子寂静无声 每件物品都知晓她已离去
[03:38.370]There's a picture of you both' sixteen years old' just kissing
[03:46.730]照片里你们十六岁 青涩拥吻的瞬间
[03:46.730]And that clock up on the wall was a tickin'
[04:19.930]墙上时钟的滴答声 从未停歇
[04:19.930]You always thought she had a chance
[04:21.610]你总以为她藏着
[04:21.610]That there was somewhere she hid
[04:22.800]未展露的天赋
[04:22.800]And now you've come to the conclusion that she never did
[04:29.080]如今才明白她始终
[04:29.080]Have a chance' that is
[04:30.770]未曾拥有过机遇
[04:30.770]
