There was a man 有一个人，

A lonely man 一个孤独的人

Who lost his love 谁失去了他的爱

Through his indifference 通过他的冷漠

   

A heart that cared 在关心à心脏

That went unshared 这又独享

Until it died 直到它死了

Within his silence 在他的沉默

   

And solitaire's the only game in town 和纸牌在镇上唯一的游戏

And every road that takes him takes him down 和每一个道路把他带他下来

And by himself, it's easy to pretend 而他自己，很容易假装

He'll never love again 他永远不会再爱

   

And keeping to himself, he plays the game 并保持自己，他扮演的游戏

Without her love, it always ends the same 如果没有她的爱，它总是结束在同一

While life goes on around him everywhere, 虽然生活在继续他的周围到处都是，

He's playing solitaire 他玩纸牌游戏

   

A little hope 一点希望

Goes up in smoke 上升的烟雾

Just how it goes 刚刚是怎么回事

Goes without saying 不言而喻

   

There was a man 有一个人，

A lonely man 一个孤独的人

Who would command 谁也指挥

The hand he's playing 手，他的演奏

   

And solitaire's the only game in town 和纸牌在镇上唯一的游戏

And every road that takes him takes him down 和每一个道路把他带他下来

And by himself, it's easy to pretend 而他自己，很容易假装

He'll never love again 他永远不会再爱

   

And keeping to himself, he plays the game 并保持自己，他扮演的游戏

Without her love, it always ends the same 如果没有她的爱，它总是结束在同一

While life goes on around him everywhere, 虽然生活在继续他的周围到处都是，

He's playing solitaire 他玩纸牌游戏

   

And solitaire's the only game in town 和纸牌在镇上唯一的游戏

And every road that takes him takes him down 和每一个道路把他带他下来

And by himself, it's easy to pretend 而他自己，很容易假装

He'll never love again 他永远不会再爱
