Something Cool

Jane Monheit - Something Cool

冰飲
Something cool
我想要點一些冰涼的東西喝
I'd like to order something cool
這街道如此之暖熱以至於熱量傳遞到我身上
It's so warm here in town and this heat gets me down
是的，我想來點冰的
Yes, I'd like something cool
哦天，只是坐在這兒休息一下是多麼棒的事情

我知道這有點尷尬
My, it's nice to simply sit and rest awhile
因為我想不起你的名字
You know it's a shame
但我記得你的笑容
I can't think of your name
我平常不會與陌生人共飲
I remember your smile
我覺得我總是獨酌小杯

但你是如此溫柔的詢問我
I don't ordinarily drink with strangers
我離家太遠太遠了
I guess I usually drink alone
像我的裙子，我必須坦白它已經很舊了
But you were so awfully nice to ask me
但它依舊簡潔，它跟這暑熱的天剛好相配
And I'm so terribly far from home
皮衣藏著用以應付寒冬

我從不抽煙
Like my dress I must confess it's very old
但我會嘗試著抽一根，因為它跟這冰涼的東西相配一定會陡生樂趣
But it's simple and neat, it's just right for this heat
我敢肯定你肯定想像不到我曾經有過一套房
Save my furs for the cold
裡面有那麼多的房間以至於我都數不過來
A cigarette, no I don't smoke them as a rule
我敢肯定你肯定想像不到我曾跟15個不同的男孩交往過
But I'll have one, it might be fun with something cool
他們都求著我去參加舞會

我知道你現在肯定對我捉摸不透
I'd bet you wouldn't imagine that I once had a house
我之前去巴黎的時候剛好是秋天
With so many rooms you couldn't count them all
然而誰會想到我愛的那個男人
I'll bet that you couldn't imagine I had fifteen different boys
是那麼高那麼帥氣
Who would beg and beg to take me to a ball
那麼，就是這樣，這就是我所有的回憶

我都差點忘了它們因為天氣是那麼熱
And I know you couldn't picture me
我對約會感到挺糟糕的，哦等等，我真是個傻瓜
The time I went to Paris in the fall
那個男人就是剛剛停下來為我買了一杯冰飲的傢伙啊
And who would think the man that I loved
Was quite so handsome and quite so tall

Well, it's through, it's just a memory I had
One I almost forgot since the weather's so hot
And I'm feeling so bad about a date, oh wait , I'm such a fool
He's just a guy who stopped to buy me something cool
