Back in the day you had been part of the smart set
You'd holidayed with kings, dined out with starlets
From London to New York, Cap Ferrat to Capri
In perfume by Chanel and clothes by Givenchy
You sipped camparis with David and Peter
At Noel's parties by Lake Geneva
Scaling the dizzy heights of high society
Armed only with a cheque-book and a family tree
You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
Until the light of youth became obscured
And left you on your own and in the shade
An English lady of a certain age
And if a nice young man would buy you a drink
\"You wouldn't think that I was seventy\"
And he'd say, \"no, you couldn't be!\"
You had to marry someone very very rich
So that you might be kept in the style to which
You had all of your life been accustomed to
But that the socialists had taxed away from you
You gave him children, a girl and a boy
To keep your sanity a nanny was employed
And when the time came they were sent away
Well that was simply what you did in those days
You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
Until the light of youth became obscured
And left you on your own and in the shade
An English lady of a certain age
And if a nice young man would buy you a drink
\"You wouldn't think that I was sixty three\"
And he'd say, \"no, you couldn't be!\"
Your son's in stocks and bonds and lives back in Surrey
Flies down once in a while and leaves in a hurry
Your daughter never finished her finishing school
Married a strange young man of whom you don't approve
Your husband's hollow heart gave out one Christmas Day
He left the villa to his mistress in Marseilles
And so you come here to escape your little flat
You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
Until the light of youth became obscured
And left you all alone and in the shade
An English lady of a certain age
And if a nice young man would buy you a drink
\"You wouldn't think that I was fifty three\"
And he'd say, \"no, you couldn't be!\"

난 끓어올라 터진 맘 풀어내
깊어진 밤 폭발한 화산 가라앉질 않아
불빛 꺼진 담 여긴 우리 둘 뿐이네
별들이 맺힌 밤
그림에 핀 꽃은 봉오리 터뜨리네
다른 사람들은 사라질 뿐이네
봇물 터진 듯 한 감정
널 원해, 성급한 단정 짓더니 난 또 떨어
그러다 너를 향해 어느덧...
