[00:00.00]The Ballad of Miss Amelia (阿米莉亚小姐的歌谣) - Suzanne Vega (苏珊娜·薇格)
[00:13.51]On any southern afternoon
[00:17.36]If anyone would care to look
[00:21.21]A face appears inside a house
[00:24.88]A terrible face
[00:26.61]It is sexless
[00:28.16]And white
[00:28.91]It is dim
[00:29.75]Like the faces
[00:31.56]In dreams
[00:35.01]It's Miss Amelia
[00:37.73]Waiting by the window
[00:40.30]Remembering the laughing
[00:43.17]In the cafe down below
[00:50.14]Once Miss Amelia
[00:51.91]Married a man
[00:53.54]She married Marvin Macy
[00:55.36]No one could understand
[00:56.87]She must have done it for the presents
[00:59.01]Cause she didn't like him much
[01:00.93]And even on their wedding night
[01:03.00]She wouldn't let him touch
[01:04.51]Well he hung around the doorways
[01:06.51]Acting foolish with bliss
[01:08.57]Until he came too close one day
[01:10.57]She swung once with her fist
[01:12.28]Miss Amelia was a strong woman
[01:14.36]She was big and tall
[01:16.05]Swung once and Marvin Macy
[01:17.89]He fell against the wall
[01:21.88]Now Miss Amelia is
[01:24.77]Sitting by the shutters
[01:27.60]Remembering the laughing
[01:30.65]In the cafe long ago
[01:38.95]After Marvin Macy
[01:40.62]Had long gone away
[01:42.53]A little hunchback came to town
[01:44.52]And this is strange to say
[01:46.17]Miss Amelia who had never loved
[01:48.24]She fell in love with him
[01:49.77]He was a skipping little troublemaker
[01:52.08]Still she took him in
[01:54.65]And so they lived together
[01:58.04]And were happy for a time
[02:01.94]And everybody came around
[02:05.84]They did drink and dine
[02:09.02]Miss Amelia made a whiskey
[02:12.63]It was fine and it was rare
[02:16.51]Would warm a man into his soul
[02:20.11]Show the writing there
[02:28.96]Miss Amelia's story
[02:30.81]Is simple and sad
[02:33.01]Marvin Macy he returned to town
[02:34.86]With all the evil that he had
[02:36.60]The skipping little hunchback
[02:38.57]He was quite impressed
[02:40.23]With Marvin Macy's history
[02:42.32]Of robbery and the rest
[02:44.14]I will not get specific
[02:46.08]Just let it now be said
[02:47.72]There was terrible light one night
[02:49.75]Miss Amelia was ahead
[02:51.81]Until the little hunchback
[02:53.73]Jumped in on Marvin Macy's side
[03:00.23]Everybody all agreed
[03:03.84]That's the night the cafe died
[03:12.01]On any southern afternoon
[03:15.81]If anyone would care to look
[03:19.74]A face appears inside a house
[03:23.33]A terrible face
[03:25.00]It is sexless and white
[03:27.27]It is dim
[03:28.43]Like the faces
[03:29.97]In dreams
[03:35.08]It's Miss Amelia
[03:37.47]Waiting by the window
[03:40.26]Remembering the laughing
[03:43.02]In the cafe down below
[03:46.76]It's Miss Amelia
[03:49.06]Sitting by the shutters
[03:51.92]Remembering the laughing
[03:54.56]In the cafe long ago
