Doesn't Mean Anything
by Alicia keys

Used to dream bout being a millionaire, without a care 
曾經夢想成為百萬富翁，毫不考慮

But if I'm seeing my dreams and you aren't there然而倘若我看到(or知道)我的夢想而你不在那裡，
Cause it's over, that just won't be fair, darling那就不美滿，因為一切都結束了(太超過了)，親愛的。
Rather be a poor woman living on the street, no food to eat
(我)寧為貧婦在街頭討生活，沒東西吃，
Cause I don't want nobody if I have to cry因為假如我得痛哭流涕，我寧可不要成為大明星。
Cause it's over when you say goodbye因為當你說再見時，一切都結束了。

[chorus]
All at once, I had it all忽然間，我擁有一切，
But it doesn't mean anything now that you're gone不過，既然你離開了，那就毫無意義。
From above, seems I had it all 
表面上看來，我擁有一切，
But it doesn't mean anything since you're gone 
不過，既然你離開了，那就沒什麼意義。

Now I see myself through different eyes, it's no surprise 
現在，我通過不同的視角觀察自己，並不足為奇。

Being alone would make you realize孤獨會使你明白。
When it's over, all in love is fair當戀曲結束時，(才覺得)愛情裡的一切都是可接受的(不論它是否合理)。

I shoulda been there, I should been there, I shoulda shoulda（我早該知道，我早該知道，我...）

* shoulda = should have

All at once, I had it all忽然間，我擁有一切，
But it doesn't mean anything now that you're gone不過，既然你離開了，那就毫無意義。
From above, seems I had it all表面上看來，我擁有一切，
But it doesn't mean anything since you're gone不過，既然你離開了，那就沒什麼意義。

[chorus]

I know I push you away我知道是我逼走你的，
What can I do that would save our love我能做些什麼來拯救我們的愛。
Take these material things把這些物質東西拿去吧，
They don't mean nothing他們毫無意義，
It's you that I want我要的是你。

All at once, I had it all忽然間，我擁有一切，
But it doesn't mean anything now that you're gone不過，既然你離開了，那就毫無意義。
From above, seems I had it all表面上看來，我擁有一切，
But it doesn't mean anything since you're gone不過，既然你離開了，那就沒什麼意義。

[chorus]
(I shoulda been there, I should been there, I shoulda shoulda)（我早該知道，我早該知道，我...）

------


1. chorus 合唱; 副歌 

2. It doesn't mean anything since you're gone...

    Since  在此翻 '既然' 之意; 也有因為的意思

    Since 後面的那句是'因'  前面是 '果'

這首歌有很不錯的涵意

歌詞中話記的部分大家可以把它英文中的句子學起來
