Same Old Lang Syne 鼻酸之餘 該怎麼翻譯

只要有過一段情投意合 兩廂情願 但沒結果的戀情
聽到歌曲快結束時 你會鼻酸
狗吉拉就酸了

狗吉拉想起的"第一個"舊愛 (接下來...還有很多個)
是小學三年、四年級時的班長 (她是學校老師的女兒 狗吉拉只能屈居副班長) 
因為她身為貴族與既得利益而當班長的身份
樣樣全才的狗吉拉當然就帶領全班鬥爭她
她常常在班會上被狗吉拉攻擊得體無完膚 梨花帶雨的哭
現在想起來 我真是平民代表的鬥爭高手 沒去工運一下 實在可惜
小學五年級 當男女生分班之後  我反而反省到 我對她殘忍與喜愛的矛盾感情並存
既愛又恨地扭曲 並且塑造了狗吉拉一小部分的小小人格    




狗吉拉曰  這是 Dan Fogelberg的親身經歷
那位娶了
Dan Fogelberg舊愛的建築師知道後
不知是啥滋味

Met my old lover in the grocery store
The snow was falling Christmas Eve
I stood behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her on the sleeve

She didnt recognize the face at first
But then her eyes flew open wide
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
And we laughed until we cried

We took her groceries to the check out stand
The food was totaled up and bagged
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
As the conversation lagged

We went to have ourselves a drink or two
But couldnt find an open bar
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store
And we drank it in her car

We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
We tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how

She said shes married her an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
She would have liked to say she loved the man
But she didnt like to lie

I said the years had been a friend to her
And that her eyes were still as blue
But in those eyes I wasnt sure if I saw
Doubt or gratitude

She said she saw me in the record stores
And that I must be doing well
I said the audience was heavenly
But the traveling was Hell

We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
We tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how

We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to time
Reliving, in our eloquence
Another "Auld Lang Syne"

The beer was empty and our tongues were tired
And running out of things to say
She gave a kiss to me as I got out
And I watched her drive away

Just for a moment I was back at school
And felt that old familiar pain
And, as I turned to make my way back home
The snow turned into rain
