《New York City》來自Norah Jones的專輯《New York City》。2003年年僅23歲的Norah Jones憑藉首張個人專輯一舉奪得八項格萊美大獎，後來又曾獲三項格萊美巨獎，是令人側目的新一代爵士天后。 《New York City》這首歌慵懶中散發著淡淡的傷感。聽著節奏和這迷人的聲音，似乎也走在紐約街頭，看到眾生萬象。聽聽美麗而誘人的大城市中，你我一般的小人物，有著什麼樣的愛情故事……
I can't remember what I planned tomorrow 想不起明天有何規劃 I can't remember when it's time to go 想不起該何時離開 When I look in the mirror 望著鏡子 Tracing lines with a pencil 用鉛筆勾勾畫畫 I remember what came before 剛才發生了什麼 我還記得 I wanted to think there was endless love 原本相信一愛就白頭 Until I saw the light dim in your eyes 卻看到你眼神黯然 In the dead of the night I found out 在這死寂的暗夜 我才明白 Sometimes there's love that won't survive 有時候 愛情的確無法生存 New York City 紐約 Such a beautiful disease 多么致命的誘惑 New York City
紐約 Such a beautiful, 如此美麗 Such a beautiful disease 如此美麗又不安 Laura kept all her disappointments 勞拉把心裡的所有不滿 Locked up in a box behind her closet door 緊鎖在衣櫃的盒子裡 She pulled the blinds and listened to the thunder 她拉上百葉窗 聽著窗外雷聲陣陣 With no way out from the family store 不知該如何走出這家小店
We all told her things could get better 我們告訴她 一切都會好的 When you just say goodbye 只要你願意告別過去 I'll lay awake one more night 再失眠一夜 Caught in a vision I want to deny 卻又想起那不願承認的一幕
And did I mention the note that I found 我說過那張紙條嗎 Taped to my locked front door 貼在我緊鎖的門上 It talked about no regrets 寫著 我並不後悔 As it slipped from my hand to the scuffed tile floor 從我手上滑落到磨損的地板
I rode the train for hours on end 坐車坐了幾個小時想到終點看看 And watched the people pass me by 望著周圍來來往往的人群 It could be that it has no end 也許哪有什麼終點呢 Just an action junkie's lullaby 不過是自我安慰罷了
New York City 紐約 Such a beautiful disease 多么致命的誘惑
New York City 紐約 Such a beautiful disease 多么致命的誘惑
We were full of the stuff that every dream rested 心中曾充盈著夢想 As if floating on a lumpy pillow sky 如同飄蕩在棉朵般的天空 Caught up in the whole illusion 浮想連連 That dreams never pass us by 想著 夢想也許從未來過 Came to a tattooed conclusion 告訴自己 That the big one was knocking on the door 更好的未來尚在路上 What started as a mass delusion 聽起來像是騙自己 Would take me far from the place I adore 也許會離開這個曾夢想的地方 New York City
紐約 Such a beautiful disease 多么致命的誘惑 New York City 紐約 You’re my beautiful 如此美麗 Such a beautiful disease 如此美麗又不安
