Jewel - Foolish Games(愚蠢遊戲)：歌詞+中文翻譯

Jewel於1997年的歌曲，
其歌詞內容是描述她自己在16歲時，
愛上了一個男人的經歷，
當然歌詞內容是心碎的。

這首歌在當年擠進了當時的Billboard Hot 100第二名，
也為她後來的歌唱事業舖上了一條扎實的道路，
這首歌對我而言是一段青春的回憶，
當年我18歲，沒讀選擇大學的我辦了提早入伍，
等待通知的那段期間我在屈臣氏工作，
那是我出社會的第一份工作，
裡面的人事物都相當吸引我，
還有形形色色的人群，
漂亮的專櫃大姊姊，以及馬路上的人群，
讓我看到了都市的朝氣與活力。

那段期間有個檔期，公司的廣告內容就包含了這首歌的宣傳，

我就每天聽這首歌聽到崁入了腦海裡，
往後的日子只要偶爾聽到這首歌，
我就會想到那段青春有趣的社會新鮮人生活。

[Verse 1]

You took your coat off and stood in the rain
你脫下外套站在雨中

You're always crazy like that
你老是如此瘋狂

And I watched from my window
而我從窗戶看著

Always felt I was outside looking in on you
總覺得自己是在外面看著你

You're always the mysterious one with
你總是那個神秘的人

Dark eyes and careless hair
擁有深邃的眼眸和隨意的髮絲

You were fashionably sensitive, but too cool to care
你以時尚敏感而又一副毫不在乎的樣子

You stood in my doorway, with nothing to say
你站在我門口，一言不發

Besides some comment on the weather
除了對天氣碎碎唸外

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Well, in case you failed to notice

This is my heart bleeding before you

This is me down on my knees

是我跪在地上

These foolish games are tearing me apart

And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart

You're breaking my heart

You're always brilliant in the morning
早上的你總是光芒四射

Smoking your cigarettes, and talking over coffee

Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you

You loved Mozart, and you'd speak of your loved ones

As I clumsily strummed my guitar
而我笨拙地彈著吉他

You'd teach me of honest things
你教導我真實的事物

Things that were daring, things that were clean
那些大膽的事情，那些純潔的事物

Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean
那些知道誠實一分錢價值的事物

I hid my soiled hands behind my back
我把髒污的雙手藏在背後

Somewhere along the line, I must've gone off track with you
在某個時刻，我一定和你走上了錯誤的軌道

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Excuse me

Think I've mistaken you for somebody else
