When I took his name 当我把他的名字

And I cry 我哭了

Because I'm alone 因为我是孤独的

And the nights get so cold and long 而夜晚变得如此寒冷漫长

And I try not to think he won't come home 我尽量不去想他不会回来

But I'm sleeping with the telephone 不过，我睡觉的电话

   

The yellow ribbon on my neighbor's gate 我邻居的门的黄丝带

Always reminds me that someone's awake 总是提醒我，有人醒了

Just like me 就像我一样

I hear the sirens 我听到了警笛声

And I watch the news 我看新闻

I loose him in my darkest dreams 我解开了他在我最黑暗的梦想

And my blood runs cold and my heart skips a beat 而我的血液运行冷，我的心脏跳了一拍

So I get up; I can't take anymore 于是我起床;我受不了了

Sometimes I hate how much I love him 有时我恨我是多么爱他

But everyday I love him more 但是，每天我更爱他

Something wakes me from where he should be 东西在那里，他应该是我唤醒

I reach for him; the telephone rings 我达到了他;电话铃响
