포크록 그룹 이글스(Eagles)의 ‘Lyin’ Eyes’(거짓의 눈빛ㆍ1979년 발표)라는 노래는 이렇게 시작된다.
City girls just seem to find out early
How to open doors with just a smile
A rich old man and she won’t have to worry
She’ll dress up all in lace and go in style
도시의 여자들은 그냥 일찍 알아채는 것 같아
미소 하나만으로 문이 열리게 하는 방법을
돈 많은 노인네 하나 잡으면 걱정할 것 없지
레이스로 잘 차려 입고 멋지게 [시집] 갈 테지
미모를 갖춘 여자는 그 미모를 담보로 원하는 것을 무엇이든 얻을 수 있다는 얘기로 시작하는 이 노래는 사실 첫사랑을 저버리고 돈 많은 늙은이와 결혼을 한 여자가 옛 남자를 못 잊어 쓸쓸한 나날을 보내는 모습을 그린 애달픈 발라드이다. 이어지는 다음의 가사처럼, 미모로 무엇이든 얻어지는 것 같지만 그렇게 얻은 것은 항상 공허하고 적막함을 얘기한다.
Late at night the big old house gets lonely
I guess every form of refuge has its price
늦은 밤이면 오래된 저택은 쓸쓸해 지지
어떤 형태든 보호 받는다는 것은 대가가 있는 거겠지
이글스(Eagles) lyin' eyes 가사
City girls just seem to find out early
도시의 여자들은 일찍 알아내는 것 같아
How to open doors with just a smile
살짝 미소로 문 여는 방법을 말이지
A rich old man and she won't have to worry
부자 노인과 그녀는 걱정할 필요가 없지
She'll dress up all in lace and go in style
그녀는 모든 레이스 스타일이 잘 어울리니까
Late at night a big old house gets lonely
늦은 밤에 낡고 큰 집은 외로워지겠지
I guess ev'ry form of refuge has its price
내 생각에 모든 피난처는 나름대로 댓가가 있지
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
그녀를 상심하게 하는 것은 그녀의 사랑이
given to a man with hands as cold as ice
얼음처럼 찬 손을 가진 사람에게만 주어졌다고 생각하기 때문이지
So she tells him she must go out for the evening
그래서 그녀는 그에게 저녁에 나가야만 한다고 말하지
To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down
우울한 옛 친구를 위로해줘야 한다면서..
But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'
하지만 그는그녀가 떠날 때 어디로 갈지를 알지
She is headed for the cheatin' side of town
그녀는 마을의 속임수가 가득한 곳을 향하지
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
당신은 거짓말 하는 눈빛을 숨기지 못하네
And your smile is a thin disguise
그리고 당신의 미소는 아주 얇은 위장일뿐
I thought by now you'd realize
지금까진 네가 알아차릴꺼라고 생각했지
There ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes
거짓말 하는 당신 눈빛을 숨길 방법이 없어
On the other side of town a boy is waiting
마을의 다른 한쪽에서 한 소년이 기다리네
with fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal
이글거리는 눈과 꿈은 아무도 훔쳐갈수 없어
She drives on through the nice anticipating
그녀는 좋은 예측을 하면서 계속 운전하지
'Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel
그는 그녀가 전에 느끼던 그런 느낌을 계속 느끼게 해주니까
She rushes to his arms, they fall together
그녀는 서둘러 그의 품으로 달려가 함께 쓰러지네
She whispers that it's only for awhile
그녀는 잠깐일뿐이라고 속삭이네
She swears that soon she'll be comin' back forever
그녀는 곧 돌아와 영원히 함께 할꺼라고 맹세하지
She pulls away and leaves him with a smile
그녀는 일어나 미소지으며 그를 떠나네
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
당신은 거짓말 하는 눈빛을 숨기지 못하네
And your smile is a thin disguise
그리고 당신의 미소는 아주 얇은 위장일뿐
I thought by now you'd realize
지금까진 네가 알아차릴꺼라고 생각했지
There ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes
거짓말 하는 당신 눈빛을 숨길 방법이 없어
She gets up and pours herself a strong one
그녀는 일어나서 아주 강한 걸로 한잔 들이키네
And stares out at the stars up in the sky
그리고 바깥 하늘의 별들을 뚫어져라 보네
Another night, it's gonna be a long one
또 다른 밤도 긴 밤이 되겠지
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry
그녀는 커튼을 치고 고개를 숙여 울기 시작하네
She wonders how it ever got this crazy
그녀는 어쩌다 이렇게 미친짓 처럼 되어버렸는지 의아해 하네
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
학창시절 알았던 한 소년을 생각하네
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy?
그녀가 지친걸까? 아니면 단지 그녀가 게을러 진걸까?
She's so far gone she feels just like a fool
그녀는 너무 멀리 가버렸고, 그녀는 단지 바보같다고 느끼네
My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
당신은 이걸 어떻게 정리할지 잘 알잖아
You set it up so well, so carefully
당신은 잘 처리했고, 아주 조심스럽게.
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things
당신의 새로운 삶이 바꾼건 없다는게 재밌지 않나
You're still the same old girl you used to be
당신은 나이 들었어도 여전히 예전 그대로야
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
당신은 거짓말하는 눈을 숨길 수 없어
And your smile is a thin disguise
당신의 미소는 얇은 가면이야
I thought by now you'd realize
이젠 당신이 알아차릴거라 생각했어
There ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes
당신의 거짓말하는 눈을 숨길 방법은 없어
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
당신의 거짓말하는 눈을 숨길 방법은 없어
Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes
당신의 거짓말하는 눈을 숨길 수 없어

With fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal

Because he makes her feel the way she used to feel

She whispers that it's only for a while

She thinks about a boy she knew in school
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy?
She's so far gone, she feels just like a fool
