dido see you when you're 40

 I've driven round, in circles for three hours[在你家门口徘徊打转了三个小时]
it was bound to happen that I'd end up at yours[我知道注定会在你家结束这一切]
I temporarily forgot there's better days to come[曾经我一度忘记未来还会有更美好的日子]
I thought that I would give it just one more chance[我考虑过应该在给我们之间一次机会]
cos I want, tonight, what I've been waiting for[因为我希望今晚是我一直企盼的一晚]
but I found, tonight, what I'd been warned about[但是结果是今晚却是我一直被所告诫的]

you think you are complicated, deep mystery to all[你认为你对所有人是复杂神秘的]
well it's taken me a while to see, you're not so special[但当我花了一段时间了解后，你并不特殊]
all energy no meaning, with a lot of words[所有的解释和努力，已经没有意义]
so paper thin that one real feeling, could knock you down[即使是一张所有人都认为的一张薄纸都能把你击倒]

and I've seen, tonight, what I'd been warned about[今晚上我所看到的，就是我一直被警告提醒的]
I'm gonna leave, tonight, before I change my mind[在我改变主意之前我打算离开了]

so see you when you're 40, lost and all alone[当你40岁迷茫并一人的时候再见吧]
being comforted by strangers you'll never need to know[那时我会因为是陌生认而觉得更自然一些，当然你并不需要知道这点]
not sad because you lost me[我并不会因为你把我丢弃而感到悲伤]
but sad because you thought it was cool to be sad[但是我会以为你觉得悲伤是一件很cool的事情而感到悲哀]

you think misery will make you stand apart from the crowd[你认为痛苦能让你远离于人群]
well if you had walked past me today I wouldn't have picked you out[那么，如果今天你从我的身边经过，我不会拦住你的]
I wouldn't have picked you out[我不会拦你的]

now I've seen, tonight, how could I waste my time[现在，就在今晚，我明白了，我为什么还在此浪费我的时间]
and I'll be on my way, and I won't be back[我要按照我的方式前行，不再回来]
cos I've seen, tonight, what I've been warned about[因为今晚上所看到的是我一直被告诫的]
you're just a boy, not a man, and I'm not coming back [你只是个boy not a man，我不再回来]
