Chris Norman - Living Next Door To Alice / Oh Carol

 

             (Zakopane, 31.12.2019)

Sally called when she got the word
She said "I suppose you've heard about Alice"
Well, I rushed to the window And I looked outside

Well, I could hardly believe my eyes
As a big limousine rolled up into Alice's drive

샐리가 소문을 듣고 전화를 했어
"당신도 앨리스에 대해 들었죠?" 라고
난 창문으로 달려가서 밖을 바라봤어 ​​

난 내 눈을 믿을 수가 없었어

​앨리스네 집 앞으로 커다란 리무진이 들어오고 있었지

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 wanna know,
cause for twenty four years I've been living next door to Alice
그녀가 왜 떠나려는지, 어디로 가려하는지 모르겠어

​그녀 나름대로 이유가 있겠지만 알고 싶지는 않아
난 24년동안 앨리스와 이웃하며 살았기에...

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

We grow up together, two kids in park ​

Caved our initials deep in the park, me and Alice ​
내 감정을 그녀에게 말을 하거나 보게될 기회흫 기다리기만 하면서 24년을
난 이제 앨리스가 이웃에 살지 않는 것에 익숙해져야 해

우리는 공원에서 놀며 함께 자랐지

우리는 공원에 우리들 나와 앨리스 이름의 첫글자를 깊이 새겨 놓기도 했지

​

Now She walks through the door with her head held high

Just for a moment I caught her eyes ​

As a big limousine pulled slow out of Alice's drive

이제 앨리스는 머리를 꼿꼿이 들고 문을 나서고 있어

한순간 나는 그녀와 눈이 마주쳤어

커다란 리무진이 천천히 앨리스네 집 입구를 나설 때 말이야

 

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 wanna know,
cause for twenty four years I've been living next door to Alice
그녀가 왜 떠나려는지, 어디로 가려하는지 모르겠어

​그녀 나름대로 이유가 있겠지만 알고 싶지는 않아
난 24년동안 앨리스와 이웃하며 살았기에

 

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

We grow up together, two kids in park ​

우리는 공원에 우리들 나와 앨리스 이름의 첫글자를 깊이 새겨 놓기도 했지

 

Then Sally called back and asked how i felt
She said I know how to help get over Alice

샐리가 다시 전화해서 내 기분이 어떤지 물었지
그녀는 말하길 앨리스를 잊게 도와줄 수 있어 ​

​

She said now Alice ​is gone but i'm still here

You knowi've been twenty four years

그녀는 또 말하길 앨리스는 떠났지만 난 아직도 여기 있잖아
나도 너를 24년 동안 기다려 왔거든

 

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 wanna know,
cause for twenty four years I've been living next door to Alice
그녀가 왜 떠나려는지, 어디로 가려하는지 모르겠어

​그녀 나름대로 이유가 있겠지만 알고 싶지는 않아
난 24년동안 앨리스와 이웃하며 살았기에...

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

No I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice
내 감정을 그녀에게 말을 하거나 보게될 기회흫 기다리기만 하면서 24년을
그러나 난 앨리스가 옆집에 살지 않는 것에 익숙해지지 않을거야

아니 난 결코 이웃에 앨리스가 살지 않는다는 것에 익숙해질 수 없을거야​

 

Oh Carol
Well, I was out cruisin’, gettin’ late and I was
losin’ When I saw you walking my way
So nonchalant I bet you get what you want
but so do I And I ain’t losing’ today

Well your hips were swinging and your jeans
were clinging You were driving me
out of my mind.

On a hot afternoon when there’s nothing to do
You’re not the sort of thing a fellow should find
So I pulled on over, tossed your hair off your shoulder

As you turned and you looked my way
Oh you would have died or you’d have skinned me alive
It I’d have said what I wanted to say

So, being polite, say „What you doin’ tonight?"
You said „Just so happens I’m free."
You got all the right curves and all the right
words and that’s alright by me.
Oh, Carol, you got me eatin’ my heart away
You got me countin’ my nights and days

Oh, I’m floating on the Milky Way.
Oh, Carol, nobody’s done it before.
Oh, baby, you’ve opened the door
Oh, Carol, you can do it some more.

Well, if you’re ready for this, when we started to kiss
She said „Hold on a minute or two."
Well, nat’rally I knew it couldn’t be me

I said „ Oh, baby, what’s troublin’ you?"
She said „I’m not sixtten, if you know what I mean."
So we sat and talked for a while

And when we finally kissed, you know she didn’t resist
And I must say she did it with style
Oh, Carol, you got me eatin’ my heart away
You got me countin’ my nights and days

Oh, I’m floating on the Milky Way.
Oh, Carol, nobody’s done it before.
Oh, baby, you’ve opened the door
Oh, Carol, you can do it some more.

Well, I was out cruisin’, gettin’ late and I was losin’
When I saw you walking my way

So nonchalant I bet you get what you want but so do I
And I ain’t losing’ today

Oh, Carol,......
