The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces
With distingué traces
That used to be there — You could see where they'd been washed away
By too many through the day
Twelve o'clock tales.
["Lush Life," Billy Strayhorn, age 17]
我认识的女孩们有着悲伤而沉闷的灰色面孔
带着卓越的痕迹
曾经在那里 - 你可以看到它们被洗掉的痕迹
因为一天中太多人经过
午夜的故事。
【《醉生梦死》(Lush Life),比利·斯特劳霍恩,17岁】
