What do I hear, what do I hear? 我怎么听，我该怎么听见了吗？

Chit-chat, and clinking glass 闲聊，无比玻璃

Cheap talk, a lady's laugh 便宜的谈话，一位女士的笑声

After hour 小时后

   

What do I see, what do I see? 我看到了什么，我该怎么看？

Some sunken hideaway 有些下沉式的世外桃源

Where people go to play 人往哪里去打

After hour 小时后

   

There I'll spend the night 在那里，我会在那里过夜

Meeting fancy thins 会议看中变薄

At bistros and old haunts 在小酒馆和故地

Trying very hard to sin 拼命的罪

   

Then it is day end in a way 然后是一天结束的方式

The pattern's much the same 该模式的大致相同

In-spots, a matinee 在斑，日场

Every day 每天

   

Blend with the crowd, blend with the loud 混合的人群，融合了响亮

Hypnotic ebb and flow 催眠潮起潮落

Until the day goes slowly 直到有一天走得慢

Into night 成晚

See the same old crowd 看到同样的老人群

At bistros and old haunts 在小酒馆和故地

'Til the lights grow dim, 直到灯光逐渐暗淡，

The not-so-subtle hint to be gone 不那么微妙的暗示消失

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

Thank God it's not Christmas 感谢上帝，这不是圣诞

When there is only you 当只有你

And nothing else to do 并没有其他事情可做

Thank God it's not Christmas 感谢上帝，这不是圣诞

Where there's just you to do 那里只是你做

The rest is closed to public view 其余的是关闭大众视野

   

Caroling kids, caroling kids 佳音的孩子，孩子们报佳音

A trifle premature, in tones so rich and pure and crystaline 一件小事过早，在色调如此丰富，纯洁而晶形

Call for the day, the popular day 征集的日子，流行天

It's fast approaching now 它的迅速接近，现在

But will the mood allow 至于会不会让心情

One dissent 一个持不同政见者

   

If this were the Seine 如果是这样的塞纳河

We'd be very suave 我们会非常风流倜傥

But it's just the rain 但它只是雨

Washing down the boulevard 洗下来的林荫大道

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

Popular days, the popular ways 流行天后，流行的方法

Are for the chosen few 是寥寥

Not meant for me and you 不是意味着我和你

Obviously 显然，

   

Popular nights, poplar rites 流行之夜，杨树仪式

Great things to say and do 伟大的事情说的和做

Aren't said or done by you 不说或者你做

Obviously 显然，

   

If this were Seine 如果这是塞纳河

We'd be very suave 我们会非常风流倜傥

But it's just the rain 但它只是雨

Washing down the boulevard 洗下来的林荫大道
