📝 纯歌词版本

作词 : Paul Cassidy/Mac Manus
 作曲 : Mac Manus/Ian Belton
C/0 st. ignatus house, willoughby drive, parrametta,
New south wales
This fifth day of july, in the year of our lord nineteen
Hundred and thirty five
Why must i apologize every time that i sit down to write
Through my own fault i may find
You're no longer living at this address
Please excuse the lack of news
The feeling of strange privilege
For the hour of trial, in these times of distress
Mean more than years imprisoned by etiquette.
I can remember when we were children
Though i could never imagine this day
Your brother told me we'd live forever
'i'll go one better,' i heard myself say
And it seems so strange, now that he's gone to recall all these
Games
While the years have divided us
Friendships have strained and broken
Oh, by the way, how's that girl that you wed
I hated you then, but i'm over the worst of it
I can't come home, i might as well say, life is short
I shall not write again

🌍 纯翻译歌词

致:圣依纳爵公馆 威洛比大道 帕拉马塔
新南威尔士州
主历一千九百三十五年
七月五日
为何每次提笔写信 总要先致歉
或许是我自作自受
你已不住在这个地址
请原谅我无话可说
在这苦难岁月里
审判时刻的奇异恩典
比礼教禁锢的岁月更珍贵
仍记得儿时情景
虽然从未想过这一天
你兄弟说我们会永远活着
我脱口而出"我会活得更好"
如今他离去后 想起这些
游戏
岁月让我们疏远
友谊断裂消散
对了 你娶的姑娘可好
那时我恨你 但最痛已过去
恕我直言 人生苦短
我不会再写信了
