【John Mayer】-Never on the Day You Leave 歌词翻译

写在前面：

Whenever I hear this song, it shatters my heart. It's a feeling that's difficult to put into words. Suddenly, all the regret and sadness overwhelm me when John Mayer sings "She don't owe you anything" and "All the things you miss about is her crazy family." I'm someone who loves deeply, not someone who thrives on conflict.

No it's never on the day you leave That you wonder what you still believe in And you can't remember why you said goodbye You'll hear an old familiar sound And hope it's her when you turn around But never, never on the day you leave

总是不能在离开她的那天，思考有什么是依旧深信不疑的，也不记得当初为什么说了再见。当听见一个熟悉的声音，你多希望你一回头发现是她，但这一切都不能发生在你离开她的那天了。

Love grows in the time it's been Since you last heard her sing She'll cut her hair and move somewhere She don't owe you anything

自你上次听见她的歌声，爱从未停止生长。后来她剪短了头发搬到别的地方去了，你知道她从来不欠你什么。

【这里的she don't 显然不是语法错误，考虑到JM是地道的米国人，以下是chatgpt的解释： The use of "she don't" instead of "she doesn't" is a colloquialism or dialectical variation commonly found in certain types of English, particularly in informal speech or in certain regional dialects.

In standard English grammar, "don't" is a contraction of "do not," which is typically used with plural subjects or the pronouns "I" and "you." However, in some dialects or informal speech, "don't" is also used with singular subjects like "she" and "he" in place of "doesn't," the contraction of "does not."

So, when you encounter "she don't" in the lyrics of a song, it's likely a deliberate choice by the songwriter to reflect a particular character, setting, or mood. It's not necessarily a grammar mistake but rather a stylistic choice to convey a certain tone or authenticity in the lyrics.】

No it's never on the day you leave You can tell how it's gonna be To watch a girl become a ghost before your eyes You wish you'd given her one more kiss To put away for a night like this But never, never on the day you leave

总是不能在离开的那天。你也知晓了后来怎样，这个女孩在眼前渐渐变成一个幻影也无能为力。你多希望能再亲吻她，好好整理那晚的心绪，但，再也回不去了。

Love grows in the time it's been Since you last held her hand She'll fight for you like hell Then force herself to like some other man

自你上次握紧她的手，爱一直蔓延至今。她愿意为你奋不顾身，后来却要强迫自己喜欢上其他人。

No it's never on the day you leave That you remember Christmas Eve And all the things you miss about her crazy family You'll know how lonely it is to see a little drug store Christmas tree But never, never on the day you leave No never, never on the day you leave

总是不能在离开的那天。你还记得那天是平安夜，顿时间所有关于她疯狂一家人的回忆涌上心头。回过神来，眼前只有一颗站在药店门前的孤单的圣诞树。总是不能在离开的那天。

So it'd be better off to write her And leave a little note right there beside her That says maybe we're not perfect But I'll be damned if I ever leave Damned if I ever leave Damned if I ever leave

最好写信给她，给她留一张字条，告诉她也许我们不是最完美的，但我再也不想离开你，再也不想。
