《At Seventeen》歌词:
[00:00.000] 作词 : Janis Ian
[00:00.772] 作曲 : Janis Ian
[00:01.544]at seventeen
[00:03.602]一峰至爱Janis Ian
[00:07.496]i learned the truth at seventeen
[00:11.507]that love was meant for beauty queens
[00:14.446]and high school girls with clear skinned smiles
[00:20.461]who married young and then retired
[00:23.491]the valentines i never knew
[00:31.149]the friday night charades of youth
[00:35.885]were spent on one more beautiful
[00:39.571]at seventeen i learned the truth
[00:47.37]and those of us with ravaged faces
[00:50.781]lacking in the social graces
[00:54.824]desperately remained at home
[00:58.707]inventing lovers on the phone
[01:02.552]who called to say come dance with me"
[01:07.197]and murmured vague obscenities
[01:11.128]it isn't all it seems at seventeen
[01:17.987]a brown-eyed girl in hand me downs
[01:22.419]whose name i never could pronounce
[01:25.736]said"pity please the ones who serve,
[01:30.499]they only get what they deserve"
[01:36.941]and the rich relationed home town queen
[01:41.496]marries into what she needs
[01:44.707]with a guarantee of company and haven for the elderly
[01:56.526]remember those who win the game
[02:00.397]lose the love they sought to gain
[02:03.981]in debentures of quality and dubious integrity
[02:11.720]the small town eyes would gape at you in dull surprise
[02:18.24]when payment due exceeds accounts received at seventeen
[03:19.514]to those of us who knew the pain
[03:23.535]of valentines that never came
[03:27.994]and those whose names were never called
[03:31.685]when choosing sides for basketball
[03:38.544]it was long ago and far away
[03:42.682]the world was younger than today
[03:47.365]and dreams were all they gave for free
[03:51.02]to ugly duckling girls like me
[03:57.498]we all played the game and when we dared
[04:01.903]to cheat ourselves at solitaire
[04:05.631]inventing lovers on the phone
[04:09.376]repenting other lives unknown
[04:12.933]they call and say "come dance with me"
[04:17.66]and murmur vague obscenities
[04:21.872]at ugly girls like me--at seventeen

[00:01.544]十七岁
[00:03.602]珍妮斯‧伊安
[00:07.496]十七岁那年 我了解了真象
[00:11.507]爱情是美丽女人的专利
[00:14.446]拥有纯洁笑容的高中女生
[00:20.461]她们早婚然后安逸的生活
[00:23.491]那些与我无缘的情人节
[00:31.149]那些上演着青春闹剧的星期五
[00:35.885]也都只为那些美女而设
[00:39.571]十七岁那年 我得知真象
[00:47.37]而我们这些脸蛋一无可取的
[00:50.781]拙于社交
[00:54.824]绝望的家中枯坐
[00:58.707]虚拟情人来电 想像他们说
[01:02.552]“出来跳个舞吧”
[01:07.197]和一些若有似无的轻言佻语
[01:11.128]十七岁不是想像中的样子
[01:17.987]一个棕眼女孩 穿着姐妹相传的过时旧衣
[01:22.419]连名字我都叫不出
[01:25.736]她说“请同情那些卑微的
[01:30.499]她们只得了本份应得的”
[01:36.941]那个家世辉煌的校花
[01:41.496]嫁给了她的需求
[01:44.707]一个长期伴侣和一家老来栖身之所
[01:56.526]记得那些赢了游戏
[02:00.397]却输了所爱的人
[02:03.981]迷失在剩余价值和模糊和自尊里
[02:11.720]小镇的眼睛对你投以平淡无奇的惊视
[02:18.24]当你的算计入不敷出 就在十七岁那年
[03:19.514]给那些深知此痛的我们
[03:23.535]为了那些从未降临的情人节
[03:27.994]也给那些从未雀屏中选的
[03:31.685]在甄选篮球队员时
[03:38.544]已是好久好远以前的事了
[03:42.682]那时的世界还年轻
[03:47.365]做梦是唯一免费的消遣
[03:51.02]对我们这此丑小鸭来说
[03:57.498]我们都玩过且无忌的
[04:01.903]在这类单人游戏里自欺欺人
[04:05.631]虚拟情人来电
[04:09.376]替一些不知名的人感到遗憾
[04:12.933]佯装他们说“出来跳个舞吧”
[04:17.66]和一些若有似无的轻言佻语
[04:21.872]对着我们这些丑小鸭----那年十七岁
