Smokie - Living Next Doors To Alice

19760812

=====

Sally called when she got the word,

And she said: "I suppose you've heard -

About Alice".

When I rushed to the window,

And I looked outside,

And I could hardly believe my eyes -

As a big limousine rolled up

Into Alice's drive...

Oh, I don't know why she's leaving,

Or where she's gonna go,

I guess she's got her reasons,

But I just don't want to know,

'Cos for twenty-four years

I've been living next door to Alice.

Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,

To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,

Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice...

We grew up together,

Two kids in the park,

We carved our initials,

Deep in the bark,

Me and Alice.

Now she walks through the door,

With her head held high,

Just for a moment, I caught her eye,

As a big limousine pulled slowly

Out of Alice's drive.

Oh, I don't know why she's leaving,

Or where she's gonna go,

I guess she's got her reasons,

But I just don't want to know,

'Cos for twenty-four years

I've been living next door to Alice.

Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,

To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,

Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice...

And Sally called back and asked how I felt,

And she said: "I know how to help -

Get over Alice".

She said: "Now Alice is gone,

But I'm still here,

You know I've been waiting

For twenty-four years..."

And a big limousine dissapeared...

I don't know why she's leaving,

Or where she's gonna go,

I guess she's got her reasons,

But I just don't want to know,

'Cos for twenty-four years

I've been living next door to Alice.

Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,

To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,

But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice...

Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice...

= Meaning of the lyrics 노래가사 의미 번역 =

Sally called when she got the word.
샐리가 소식을 듣고 전화를 했죠
She said "I suppose you've heard 'bout Alice"
그녀는 말했어요 "네가 앨리스 소식 들었나 해서..."
Well, I rushed to the window and I looked outside
난 창문으로 달려가서 밖을 바라보았죠
Well, I could hardly believe my eyes
난 내 눈을 믿을 수가 없었어요
As a big limousine rolled up into Alice's drive.
큰 리무진이 앨리스네 집으로 들어가고 있었기 때문이죠
Oh, I don't know why she's leaving
오,난 그녀가 왜 떠나는지
or where she's gonna go.
어디로 가려하는지 모르겠어
I guess she's got her reasons,
나름대로 이유가 있겠지만
but I just don't wanna know,
알고 싶지는 않아요
Cause for twenty four years
난 24년동안
I've been living next door to Alice.
앨리스와 이웃하며 살았기 때문이죠
Twenty four years just waiting for a chance
24년동안 앨리스에게 내 마음을 고백하고
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance,
내게 눈길을 주기만을 기다렸죠
Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice.
이젠 앨리스가 없어도 살아가는데 익숙해져야겠어요
We grew up together. Two kids in the park
우린 함께 자랐지. 어린시절 공원에서
Carved our initials deep in the park me and Alice.
우리 이름 첫글자를 나무껍질에 깊이 새겼어'나와 앨리스'라고.
Now she walks through the door
이제 앨리스는 자신 만만하게 문을 나서고 있어
With her head held high.
문을 나서고 있어
Just for a moment I caught her eyes.
아주 잠깐 동안 그녀와 눈이 마주쳤지
As a big limousine pulled  slowly out of Alice's drive.
커다란 리무진이 천천히  앨리스네 집을 나설 때 말이야
Oh, I don't know why she's leaving
오,난 그녀가 왜 떠나는지
Or where she's gonna go.
어디로 가려하는지 모르겠어
I guess she's got her reasons,
나름대로 이유가 있겠지만
but I just don't wanna know,
알고 싶지는 않아요
Cause for twenty four years.
난 24년동안
I've been living next door to Alice.
앨리스와 이웃하며 살았기 때문이죠
Twenty four years just waiting for a chance to tell her.
24년동안 앨리스에게 내 마음을 고백하고
How I feel and maybe get a second glance,
내게 눈길을 주기만을 기다렸죠
Now I getta get used to not living next  door to Alice.
이젠 앨리스가 없어도 살아가는데 익숙해져야겠어요
Then Sally called back and asked how I felt.
샐리가 다시 전화해서 내 기분이 어떤지 묻더군
She said "I know how to help, get over Alice."
그녀는 이렇게 말했어 "앨리스를 잊도록 도울 수 있다고."
She said "Now Alice is gone but I'm still here."
그녀는 말하길 "앨리스는 갔지만 난 여전히 여기 있잖아."
You know, I've been waiting twenty four years.
너두 알잖아, 나도 24년간 널 기다려 온걸
And the big limousine disappeared
그때 커다란 리무진이 사라졌어
Oh, I don't know why she's leaving
오,난 그녀가 왜 떠나는지
Or where she's gonna go.
어디로 가려하는지 모르겠어
I guess she's got her reasons,
나름대로 이유가 있겠지만
But I just don't wanna know,
알고 싶지는 않아요
Cause for twenty four years.
난 24년동안
I've been living next door to Alice.
앨리스와 이웃하며 살았기 때문이죠
Twenty four years just waiting for a chance
24년동안 앨리스에게 내 마음을 고백하고
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance,
내게 눈길을 주기만을 기다렸죠
But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice.
그러나 난 앨리스가 없는데 결코 익숙해 질 수 없을 거야
No, I'll never get used to not living  next door to Alice.
그래,난 앨리스가 없는데 결코 익숙해 질 수 없을 거야
