Half Life - Jewel (珠儿)
Lyrics by：Jewel Kilcher
Composed by：Jewel Kilcher
Sally came home today
Sally今天回了家
Didn't have a whole lot to say
没有太多的话说
Just thumbed the St. Jude around her neck
只是摸了下她脖子上挂的圣犹大
Took a drag off her cigarette
吸了一口她的香烟
Gary's still stuck at work
Gary还在埋头工作
Spilled a green juice on his shirt
他把绿色果汁洒在了衬衫上
Steps outside for a little air
走出去呼吸一点新鲜空气
Half listens to whoever's standing near
侧耳聆听身边的人在说什么
Half a glass of wine
半杯红酒
And half a cigarette
半支香烟
Half the truth
一半的真相
And see how far you get
看看你走了有多远
For all of that struggle and all of that strife
因为你所有的挣扎 所有的斗争
And your consolation prize
还有你得到的安慰奖
Half life
半死不活
Sally gets herself into bed
Sally钻进了被窝
Takes half a pill to quiet her head
吃了半片药 让自己平静了下来
Watches a little TV
看了一小会儿电视
And drifts off into a half a sleep
然后迷迷糊糊地睡着了
Half a husband
半个丈夫
Half a car
半辆车
Going half the distance
走了一半的距离
Not getting very far
没有走得太远
Half mother half wife
半个母亲 半个妻子
And your consolation prize
还有你得到的安慰奖
Half life
半死不活
Gary gets home after dark
Gary天黑之后回了家
Sits a while with his car in park
把车停在停车场坐了一会儿
Just daydreaming
做着不切实际的梦
Smoking a little green
抽了点烟
Half the time a dad
一半时间在当爸爸
Half the time at work
一半时间在工作
Half the time worrying
一半时间在担心
Exactly what a soul is worth
灵魂到底有什么价值
For all of that struggle and all of that strife
因为你所有的挣扎 所有的斗争
Your consolation prize
还有你得到的安慰奖
Half life
半死不活
Half baked plans
一半的计划
Half hearted dreams
半心半意的梦
Half the time wondering
一半时间在思考
Exactly what it means
这到底有什么意义
You hurry going nowhere
你匆匆忙忙 无路可去
Time cuts you like a knife
时间像是小刀将你切割
And your consolation prize
还有你得到的安慰奖
Oh half life
半死不活
Sally came home today
Sally今天回了家
