Alone again (Naturally)　　Gilbert O'Sullivan
Words/Music by Raymond O'Sullivan

In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top will throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to whoever
What it's like when you're shattered¹ left standing² in the lurch³ at a church
Where people saying: "My God, that's tough"
"She stood him up"
"No point in us remaining"
"We may as well go home"
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally

To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful⁴, bright and gay
Looking forward to who wouldn't do the role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere⁵ touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God in His mercy
Who if He really does exist
Why did He desert me?
In my hour of need
I truly am indeed

Alone again, naturally

It seems to me that there are more hearts broken in the world
That can't be mended left unattended
What do we do?
What do we do?

Alone again, naturally

Looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul
Couldn't understand
Why the only man she had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day

Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally

再次孤独(自然而然地) 　　　　吉伯特欧苏利文


过了一会儿
如果我感觉不到一点心酸
我会承诺好好的对待自己
参观附近的一座高塔
爬到最高处，想就此一跃而下
努力想对旁人厘清这一切
当你粉身碎骨被遗弃在教堂里，那会是什幺情景？
那里的人们说：「上帝啊！太难了」
「她已承受不了」
「我们也没有立场」
「倒不如我们回家好了」
如同过去独来独往的我
再次孤独，自然而然地

想想不过是昨天而已
那时的我兴高采烈、心情愉快
期待有人不愿意担任我曾经演的角色
如果将我击倒
现实纷至沓来
即使没有太多轻微的触动
也能将我切成碎片
留下许多的疑惑
说到上帝的垂怜
如果祂真的存在
为何祂要弃我于不顾？
在我需要祂的时刻
我是真的非常需要祂啊！

再次孤独，自然而然地

对我来说，这世上有太多破碎的心
无法修补，无人眷顾
我们能做什幺？
我们究竟能做什幺？

再次孤独，自然而然地

回首过往的岁月
往事历历如昨
记得父亲过世时，我哭了
不想刻意去掩饰泪水
六十五岁那年
我的母亲，上帝让她的灵魂安息
她始终无法明白
她唯一爱过的人为什幺会被夺走？
留下她一个人开始心碎难过的活着
无视于我对她的鼓励
她从此不发一语
她去世以后
我整天哭了又哭........

再次孤独，自然而然地
再次孤独，自然而然地
