Smoke Gets In Your Eyes


They asked me how I knew my true love was true.
I of course, replied,
Something here inside cannot be denied.
Oh, they said someday you'll find, all who love are blind.
oh...when your heart's on fire,
You must realize, smoke gets in your eyes,
So I chaffed them and I gaily¹ laughed to think
They could doubt my love.
Yet today my love has flown away.
I am without my love.
And now laughing friends deride² tears I cannot hide.
Oh, So I smile and say “When a lovely flame dies,
Smoke gets in your eyes.”
Smoke gets in your eyes.
Smoke gets in your eyes

歌词大意


烟迷你的眼
他们问我如何知道心爱的人真爱我。
我说那当然。
有些事只存在于心，不能被否认。
哦，他们说某日你会发现
所有恋爱者都是盲眼。
当你心着了火，
你肯定会发现，烟迷你的眼
于是，我取笑他们，
他们竟怀疑我的爱，
我欢快地笑起来。
但今天我的爱飞走了，
我的爱没有了。
此刻朋友们嘲笑我。
眼泪我藏不住，
于是我笑着说，“可爱的火苗熄灭时，
烟迷你的眼。”
烟迷你的眼。
烟迷你的眼
