Nina And Her Very Long Hair

I have a tale, but not a tail
我有一個故事，而不是一條尾巴
Like felius domesticum
比如家貓的尾巴

這是關於一個女孩的，一個真正的女孩
It's of a girl, a real girl
現在我用她的真名叫她
I'm calling by her real name
故事開始了

這是一首夏令營十四行詩
And thus began
她看見了一個男孩將快
A summer camp sonnet
成為她青春時帽子裡的吵鬧蜜蜂
She saw a boy who would soon be
Nina長著一頭長發
A bee in her teenage bonnet
握著對她毫無益處的火把
Nina and her very long hair
她給了那個男孩一個霹靂般的笑
Held a torch that got her nowhere
她摒棄了她擁有的一切
She hit him with a thunderbolt smile
每一條裙子及每一隻鞋
Every thing she had she threw
Nina長著一頭長發
Every dress and every shoe
握著對她毫無益處的火把
Nina and her very long hair
她盡了最大的努力
Held a torch that got her nowhere
卻沒能讓男孩多看她一眼
As hard as she tried
男孩從未看見火把的光
He never looked twice
也沒結束Nina的困境
He never did see the light,
有時候一部電影，會對我撒謊
And end the plight of Nina
就像一杯冷掉的茶一樣

讓我忘掉我要做什麼
Sometimes a film, comes over me,
去抓住並獵殺，奪取並佔有
Like a cold cup of tea
在Nina十七歲時
And I forget, what I was set
她還在發暈
To snag and bag, grab and seize
她又去了夏令營

帶著一把梳子，一個帳篷
At seventeen
和同當年一樣的感覺
She was still reeling
Nina長著一頭長發
She went to camp
握著對她毫無益處的火把
With a comb and a tent
她給了那個男孩一個霹靂般的笑
And that same old feeling
她摒棄了她擁有的一切
Nina and her very long hair
每一條裙子及每一隻鞋
Held a torch that got her nowhere
Nina長著一頭長發
She hit him with a thunderbolt smile
握著對她毫無益處的火把
Every thing she had she threw
她盡了最大的努力
Every dress and every shoe
都沒能讓男孩多看她一眼
Nina and her very long hair
男孩從未看見火把的光
Held a torchthat got her nowhere
也沒結束Nina的困境
As hard as she tried
所以，她去剪髮了
He never looked twice
她剪了又修
He never did see the light,
（剪掉的頭髮）足夠蓋上一個小屋
And end the plight of Nina
一旦她打扮起來

她就散發出耀眼的光芒
And so she snipped,
足夠將男孩迷得神魂顛倒
She cut and she clipped
她成為了一個有非常短的頭髮的女孩
Enough to thatch a cottage roof
這卻對她毫無益處
And once she'd preened,
故事結束
She glowed and she gleamed
Off she set to make him swoon

She was the girl with very short hair,
That got her nowhere

End
