Vincent Youmans: Tea for Two

Ella Fitzgerald, 1965

[Click 'read more...' for lyrics and translation]

Oh honey

喔親愛的你

Picture me upon your knee
請想像我緊靠著你膝前
With tea for two and two for tea
一同享用著雙人下午茶
Just me for you and you for me, alone!
只有我和你以及你和我
Nobody near us, to see us or hear us
沒人會在一旁叨擾我們
No friends or relations
親朋好友一律謝絕拜訪
On weekend vacations
就在我們的周末假日裡
We won't have it known, dear
閒雜人等永遠不會明白
That we own a telephone, dear
你我之間這等濃情密意

Day will break and I'm gonna wake
每天我將跟著破曉醒來
And start to bake a sugar cake
為你烘焙無數蜜糖蛋糕
For you to take for all the boys to see
好教眾人因你妒忌傾羨
We will raise a family
我們將會組織甜密家庭
A boy for you, and a girl for me
男孩就給你女孩便給我
Can't you see how happy we will be？
你看不出我們有多幸福？
