Practical Arrangement
务实的安排

Am I asking for the moon?
Is it really so implausible
That you and I could soon
Come to some kind of arrangement?
我异想天开吗?
真这么不可思议吗?
相信你我很快便能达成某种约定

I'm not asking for the moon
I've always been a realist
When is really nothing more
Than a simple rearrangement
我不是异想天开
我一直是个现实主义者
我们需要的不过是个简单的转变

With one roof above our heads
A warm house to return to
We could start with separate beds
I could sleep alone or learn to
两人共撑一片屋檐
便有个温馨的家可归
我们不必同床共枕
我可以试着独自入眠

I'm not suggesting that we'd find
some earthly paradise forever
I mean how often does that happen now
the answer's probably never
我并不是暗示我们能找到某个永恒的人间天堂
若问如今谁人能够做到
恐怕永远没有答案

but we could come to an arrangement
a practical arrangement
and you could learn to love me
given time
但我们可以达成一个约定
一个务实的安排
你可以尝试爱我
只要你肯付出时间

I'm not promising the moon
I'm not promising a rainbow
Just a practical solution
To a solitary life
我并不许诺你月亮
也不许诺彩虹
这不过是一个
避免孤独的可行方案

I'd be a father to your boy
A shoulder you could lean on
How bad could it be
To be my wife?
我会成为你儿子的父亲
你可以依靠的臂膀
做我的妻子
还能糟糕到如何呢?

With one roof above our heads
A warm house to return to
You wouldn't have to cook for me
You wouldn't have to learn to
两人共撑一片屋檐
便有个温馨的家可归
你不必为我下厨
你不必去学

I'm not suggesting that this pro
here could last forever
I've no intention of deceiving you
you're far too clever
我并不是指我们将按上述提议永远生活下去
我并不想哄骗你
你比我更懂得

But we could come to an arrangement
A practical arrangement
And perhaps you'd learn to love me
given time
但我们可以达成一个约定
一个务实的安排
或许你还可以尝试爱我
只要你肯付出时间

It may not be the romance
that you had in mind
But you could learn to love me
Given time
这或许与你往昔的浪漫相去甚远
但你可以尝试爱我
只要你肯付出时间
