Without your love,
it's a honky-tonk parade.
如果沒有你的愛
那只不過是廉價酒店的表演秀而已.

這句話太有意思了
上了Wekipedia查了一下
是首1933年寫好的老歌
至今被很多爵士歌手翻唱過
Nat King Cole Trio, and Ella Fitzgerald .





以下歌詞是原版
Nat King Cole版本沒完全唱到
邊聽邊感受1933年的歌詞
我只能說舊人有心
村上春樹有情
寫小說都能這麼多聞
太厲害了

Lyrics by e.y. (yip) harburg


I never feel a thing is real
When i'm away from you
Out of your embrace
The world's a temporary parking place

Mmm, mm, mm, mm
A bubble for a minute
Mmm, mm, mm, mm
You smile, the bubble has a rainbow in it

Say, its only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me

Yes, it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me

Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade

It's a barnum and bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
