Against All Odds

作词 : Phil Collins

How can I just let you walk away?

我怎能让你离开?

Just let you leave without a trace

让你消失得无影无踪

When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh

当我站在这儿和你一起呼吸的时候

You're the only one who really knew me at all

你是唯一一个真正了解我的人

How can you just walk away from me?

你怎么可以就这样离开?

When all I can do is watch you leave

我无奈地看着你走

'Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears

尽管我们曾一起同甘共苦

You're the only one who really knew me at all

你是唯一真正懂我的人

So take a look at me now, oh there's just an empty space

所以再看我一眼吧!这人只剩空洞的一片

And there's nothin' left here to remind me

这儿再也没有什么值得我回忆

Just the memory of your face

除了你的面容

Ooh, take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space

再看我一眼吧!这儿只剩下空洞的一片

And you coming back to me is against the odds

你回到我身边需要经历重重困难

And that's what I've got to face

这就是我要面对的

I wish, I could just make you turn around

我希望我能让你转过身来

Turn around and see me cry

转过身来看到我在哭泣

There's so much I need to say to you so many reasons why

我有太多的话要对你说

You're the only one who really knew me at all

你是唯一一个懂我的人

So take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space

所以回过头看我一眼吧!这儿只剩一片废墟

And there's nothin' left here to remind me, just the memory of your face

这儿留给我的,只有你的面容·

Now take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space

再看我一眼吧!这儿只剩下空洞的一片

But to wait for you, is all I can do and that's what I've got to face

等你回来,是我所能做和必须面对的事

Take a good look at me now, 'cos I'll still be standin' here

我会一直站在这里,等你回过头来看我一眼
