《Joy To You Baby》

I go to the parties
我去聚会的时候
Throw my hands in the air
喜欢把双手挥舞在空中
I drink what they pour me
我对酒来者不拒
The cups of who cares
完全不记得喝了多少杯了
Go up in the night sky
微醺的仿佛置身于半空中
Up in the clouds
悬浮于云端

Fly over the houses
飘荡在房屋上空
I'm looking down
我向下俯瞰
Joy to the city
城市充满了欢乐
Joy to the streets
街道也变的有了活力
And joy to you baby wherever you sleep
你熟睡的场所也处处都充满了怡然之情
Tonight tonight tonight
今晚，没错，就在今晚
Tonight tonight tonight
没错，今晚，就是今晚

There's no ghosts in the graveyard
墓地已然无灵魂
That's not where they live
那不是它们的安身之处
They float in between us
它们仿佛置身于我们中间
'what is' and 'what if'
如果这样的话 会怎么样呢
And cast our own shadows
投射我们的身影
Before our own eyes
就在我们的眼前
You don't get them up here though
但是你又不能把它们带到这里
They don't come up high
它们不会出现的
Joy to the city
城市充满了欢乐
The parking lot lights
停车场也瞬间被点亮
The lion of evening
夜晚就像一头雄狮
With the rain in its eyes
它的眼睛如雨水般清澈
Joy to the freeway
高速公路洋溢着欢声笑语
Joy to the cars
汽车里也传来了欢快的笑声
And joy to you baby wherever you are
无论你在哪，宝贝，快乐将一直伴随
Tonight tonight tonight
今晚，没错，就在今晚
Tonight tonight tonight
没错，今晚，就是今晚

There's pain in whatever
即使生活中会有一些痛楚
We stumble upon
我们偶尔也会感到困惑
If I never had met you
假使我从没见过你
You couldn't have gone
你也不可能会离去
But then I couldn't have met you
但是我不可能遇见你
We couldn't have been
我们不可能再相遇
I guess it all adds up
这似乎又在情理之中
To joy to the end
让快乐永恒
Joy to the city
城市充满了欢乐
The heatwave and all
涌动的热浪和周围的一切
To the lion of evening
夜晚就像一头雄狮
With the storm in its paw
爪下刮起的迅猛暴风
Joy to the many
愿多数人都能够快乐
And joy to the few
少数人也如此
And joy to you baby
愿你一直快乐
Joy to me too
我也是
Tonight tonight tonight
今晚，没错，就在今晚
Tonight tonight tonight
没错，今晚，就是今晚
Tonight tonight tonight
今晚，没错，就在今晚
Tonight tonight tonight
没错，今晚，就是今晚
