Oh your pictures they don't really do you justice little girl
你的照片真的没把你拍得好看小女孩
For you're careful not to let the camera
因为你小心翼翼不让镜头
Touch your private world
触碰你的私人世界
And there's just a hint of sadness in your smile
你的笑容里有一丝悲伤
Through the dark
穿越黑暗
As you slip your dress off slowly
当你慢慢脱掉裙子
For the sailor or the clerk
无论是水手还是职员
And it could have been so different
一切本可以截然不同
And at times you feel bad
有时你感觉很难受
For you really did have something
因为你真的对我有一种特别的感觉
That the others never had
别人不曾拥有的东西
And the circle turns and turns and turns so mad
周而复始不停地转真是疯了
Little girl
小女孩
Ah you must have been just fifteen
你肯定只有十五岁
When you made your mind up first
当你下定决心
That you'd make it in the movies
你会出现在电影里
And you couldn't lose the thirst
你无法摆脱心中的渴望
And it took you to the attic
把你带到阁楼上
Where the Agent King holds Court
在那里代理人之王占据着法庭
And his courtesans are fully paid up losers of a sort
他的歌妓都是腰缠万贯的废物
He looks at you and tells you
他看着你告诉你
That you just might get the part
你可能会得到那个角色
But you don't get things for nothing
可你不会不劳而获
And he doesn't want your heart
他不想要你的心
And the circle turns and turns
周而复始
And turns so mad little girl
变得如此疯狂小女孩
Mmm you made it to the silver screen
你登上了银幕
And yet you're not a star
可你不是明星
And advertising corsets didn't get you too far
紧身衣的广告也没让你走多远
But money has its favourites
但金钱有它的最爱
And yours went back to them
你的也回到了他们身边
So you modeled in a studio in Greek Street for the rent
你在希腊街的工作室里做模特挣到了房租
There you met Antonio your lover from afar
在那里你遇见了远方的爱人安东尼奥
Who put you on the streets
是谁让你走上街头的
To make the money for his car
去挣钱买他的车
And the circle turns and turns and turns so fast
周而复始一个接一个地转
Little girl
小女孩
Ah your pictures they don't really do you justice any more
你的照片已经不能再像你一样完美
For they're crumpled now and faded
因为它们都已幻灭
And were taken long ago
很久以前就被带走了
And that faintly coy expression
那略带羞涩的表情
Has now left without a trace
如今已消失得无影无踪
Ah there's little of it buried
埋藏在心底的点点滴滴
In the ruins of your face
在你面目全非的世界里
It could have been so different
一切本可以截然不同
And at times you feel bad
有时你感觉很难受
For you really did have something
因为你真的对我有一种特别的感觉
That the others never had
别人不曾拥有的东西
And the circle turns and turns and turns so mad
周而复始不停地转真是疯了
Little girl
小女孩
For the circle turns and turns and turns so sad
周而复始循环往复如此悲伤
Little girl
小女孩
Oh the circle turns and turns and it's too bad
周而复始真是糟糕透顶
Little girl
小女孩
