I got an invitation from a girl I used to know back home 我接到了一个女孩，我用了才知道回家的邀请

It was an invitation asking me to telephone 这是一个邀请，要我打电话

She said, it's getting lonely here 她说，这是越来越寂寞在这里

And I've been gone for close a year 我已经走了近一年

I took the first flight out to meet the girl I used to know back home 我把第一次飞行出来迎接我以前就知道回家的女孩

   

She met me off the flight, a million dollars in her long red gown 她见到我了飞行，一百万美元在她长长的红礼服

With a man in a black hat just to drive us back to town 随着黑色帽子的男人只是为了推动我们回城

Now the faces all look the same 现在脸看起来都一样

And all the places have the same old names 和所有的地方都有相同的旧名称

But in a year you've changed just like the girl I used to know back home 但在一年你就像我以前就知道回家的女孩改变

Yes, in a year you've changed just like the girl I used to know back home 是的，一年你就像我以前就知道回家的女孩改变

   

Maybe it's true that I go on and on and on 也许这是真的，我去和和

Maybe it's true that I'm the lonely one alone 也许这是真的，我一个人孤独的1

What can I say to you, what can I say to you? 我能对你说，我能说什么呀？

Yes, in a year you've changed just like the girl I used to know back home 是的，一年你就像我以前就知道回家的女孩改变

   

It took another year before I started getting itchy toes 又过了一年我才开始变得脚趾痒

   

And then I had to leave, but that's the way the story goes 然后，我不得不离开，但是这就是故事的结局

Well I reckon if she'd made me stay 好吧，我，如果她愿意让我留下来估计

I'd never live to see another day 我从来没有看住另一天

I took the first flight out and left the girl I used to know back home 我把第一次飞行了，离开我曾经知道回家的女孩

   

Maybe it's true that I go on and on and on 也许这是真的，我去和和

Maybe it's true that I'm the lonely one alone 也许这是真的，我一个人孤独的1

What can I say to you, what can I say to you? 我能对你说，我能说什么呀？

I took the first flight out and left the girl I used to know back home 我把第一次飞行了，离开我曾经知道回家的女孩

Back home, I left the girl back home 回到家里，我离开了那个女孩回家

I left the girl back home 我离开了那个女孩回家

I left the girl back home 我离开了那个女孩回家
