The Temptations-Just My Imagination(Running Away with Me)：歌詞+中文翻譯

The Temptations於1971年的歌曲，
相當好聽的經典老歌，
後期被許多樂團或歌手翻唱過，
可說是西洋音樂的國歌之一，
幻想總是美好的，
面對自己心儀的人雖然不一定能行動交往，
但有時候想想，也是一件很甜美的事。

[Verse 1]

Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by
每天我透過窗戶看見她從窗外經過

I say to myself, "You're such a lucky guy
我告訴我自己：你真是個幸運的傢伙

To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true

能夠擁有如此佳人只能用美夢成真來形容

Out of all the fellows in the world, she belongs to you"

世上的小夥子這麼多，她只屬於你

[Chorus]

But it was just my imagination, runnin' away with me

但這一切不過是隨我遠去的自我幻想罷了

It was just my imagination runnin' away with me

一切不過是隨我遠去的自我幻想罷了

[Verse 2]

Soon we'll be married and raise a family (Oh yeah)

再不久，我會與她結婚並組成家庭

A cozy little home out in the country
一起住在小鄉鎮的幸福家庭

With two children, maybe three

生個兩個或三個小孩

I tell you I can visualize it all

告訴你我腦中浮現這些畫面

This couldn't be a dream for too real it all seems

這一切似乎真實到不像夢境

[Chorus]

But it was just my imagination once again runnin' away with me

但這一切不過是一個隨我遠去的自我幻想罷了

Tell you it was just my imagination runnin' away with me

告訴你，一切都只是隨我遠去的幻想罷了

[Bridge]

Ev'ry night on my knees I pray, Dear Lord, hear my plea

每晚我誠心跪下祈禱，親愛的上帝，聽我的請求

Don't ever let another take her love from me or I would surely die

別讓任何人將她的愛從我身上奪走，這樣我會活不下去

Her love is heavenly, when her arms enfold me
當她擁抱我時，她的愛如同天堂般溫暖

I hear a tender rhapsody; but in reality she doesn't even know me

我聽見了溫柔的旋律，但事實上，她壓根不知道我是誰

[Chorus]

Just my imagination once again runnin' away with me

不過是我腦袋裡的自我幻想罷了

Tell you it was just my imagination runnin' away with me

告訴你這一切都是我的自我幻想罷了

I’ve never met her but I can't forget her

Just my imagination once again runnin' away with me

一切都只是再次隨我遠去的幻想罷了

Just my imagination runnin' away with me

一切都只是隨我遠去的幻想罷了
