[00:00:08] I learned the truth at seventeen

[00:00:12] 十七岁的时候 我知道了

[00:00:12] That love was meant for the beauty queens

[00:00:16] 只有那些选美佳人

[00:00:16] And high school girls with clear skinned smiles

[00:00:21] 和校园里的甜美纯情女生

[00:00:21] Who married young and then retired

[00:00:27] 才会拥有爱情 她们辍了学 早早出嫁

[00:00:27] The valentines I never knew

[00:00:31] 我从没听过情人节

[00:00:31] The Friday night charades of youth

[00:00:36] 也不知道什么周五狂欢夜 更不会那些年轻人爱玩的猜谜游戏

[00:00:36] We're spent on one more beautiful

[00:00:40] 那该是多么美妙的时刻

[00:00:40] At seventeen I learned the truth

[00:00:47] 十七岁的时候 我知道了

[00:00:47] And those of us with ravaged faces

[00:00:52] 像我们这些容貌欠佳

[00:00:52] Lacking in the social graces

[00:00:55] 又不善于社交的人

[00:00:55] Desperately remained at home

[00:00:59] 只能孤独地待在家里

[00:00:59] Inventing lovers on the phone

[00:01:02] 发展电话情人

[00:01:02] Who called to say come dance with me

[00:01:07] 她们会说 来一起跳个舞吧

[00:01:07] And murmured vague obscenities

[00:01:11] 有时彼此也会讲点儿暧昧言语

[00:01:11] It isn't all it seems at seventeen

[00:01:18] 可对于十七岁的孩子来说 这些远远不够

[00:01:18] A brown eyed girl in hand me downs

[00:01:23] 有一个褐色眼睛的女孩儿 穿着一身廉价衣服

[00:01:23] Whose name I never could pronounce

[00:01:27] 她的名字我不曾念对

[00:01:27] Said pity please the ones who serve

[00:01:31] 她说 真是可怜 永远只能当一片

[00:01:31] They only get what they deserve

[00:01:37] 衬托红花的绿叶

[00:01:37] And the rich relationed hometown queen

[00:01:42] 家乡的富人千金

[00:01:42] Marries into what she needs

[00:01:45] 嫁给了她的如意郎君

[00:01:45] With a guarantee of company

[00:01:49] 得到伴侣的承诺 会携手白头

[00:01:49] And haven for the elderly

[00:01:56] 晚年也有了依靠

[00:01:56] Remember those who win the game

[00:02:01] 想起有些人虽嫁入豪门

[00:02:01] They lose the love they sought to gain

[00:02:04] 却输了辛苦到手的爱情

[00:02:04] In debentures of quality and dubious integrity

[00:02:12] 最后得到的只是一沓空头支票和无休止的背叛

[00:02:12] Their small town eyes will gape at you

[00:02:16] 那些鼠目寸光的人

[00:02:16] In dull surprise when payment due

[00:02:21] 会大跌眼镜

[00:02:21] Exceeds accounts received at seventeen

[00:03:20] 因为最终落了个得不偿失

[00:03:20] To those of us who knew the pain

[00:03:24] 谨以此歌献给那些

[00:03:24] Of valentines that never came

[00:03:28] 从没享受过情人节的单身人士

[00:03:28] And those whose names were never called

[00:03:32] 和那些在体育课上

[00:03:32] When choosing sides for basketball

[00:03:39] 被篮球抛弃的可怜人

[00:03:39] It was long ago and far away

[00:03:44] 很久很久以前

[00:03:44] The world was younger than today

[00:03:48] 世界比现在干净纯粹

[00:03:48] When dreams were all they gave for free

[00:03:51] 那时候 人们可以自由平等地追求梦想

[00:03:51] To ugly duckling girls like me

[00:03:58] 像我这样的丑小鸭也拥有如上权利

[00:03:58] We all play the game and when we dare

[00:04:02] 我们大家都会玩这种单人游戏

[00:04:02] To cheat ourselves at solitaire

[00:04:06] 可却慢慢地学会了自欺欺人

[00:04:06] Inventing lovers on the phone

[00:04:10] 发展电话情人

[00:04:10] Repenting other lives unknown

[00:04:13] 假装自己也很高贵

[00:04:13] They call and say come dance with me

[00:04:18] 她们会说 来一起跳个舞吧

[00:04:18] And murmur vague obscenities

[00:04:22] 有时彼此也会讲点儿暧昧言语

[00:04:22] At ugly girls like me at seventeen

[00:04:27] 我这样的丑小鸭不喜欢十七岁
