But you didn't

Remember the day I borrowed your brand new car

and dented it?

I thought you'd kill me, but you didn't.

And remember the time I dragged you to the beach, 

and you said it would rain, and it did?

I thought you'd say, "I told you so." But you didn't.

Do you remember the time I flirted with all the guys

to make you jealous, and you were?

I thought you'd leave, but you didn't.

Do you remember the time I spilled strawberry pie

all over your car rug?

I thought you'd hit me, but you didn't.

And remember the time I forgot to tell you the dance was formal

and you showed up in jeans?

I thought you'd drop me, but you didn't.

Yes, there were lots of things you didn't do.

But you put up with me,

and loved me, and protected me.

There were lots of things I wanted to make up to you

when you returned from Vietnam.

But you didn't.

我试着翻译了一下：

但是你没有

你可记得那一天，

我借了你的新车，

却出了刮蹭？

我以为你会杀了我，

但是你没有。

你可记得那一次，

我拖着你去海边，

你说就要下雨了，

后来真的下了？

我以为你会埋汰我，

但是你没有。

你可记得有一次，

为了让你嫉妒，

我和所有人调情，

结果你生气了？

我以为你会离开我，

但是你没有。

你可记得有一天，

我在车里吃草莓派，

碎渣洒了满垫子？

我以为你会吊打我，

但是你没有。

你可记得有一次，

我忘了告诉你，

那是正式的舞会，

结果你便装出场？

我以为你会丢下我，

但是你没有。

许多许多的事情，

你都没有做，

但你总是容忍我，

爱我、保护我。

许多许多的事情，

我想为你做，

等你从越南返回，

但是你没有。

如果《静夜思》《沁园春·雪》等诗是普通人写的，还会这么出名吗？

中文翻译

还记得那天我开着你刚买的新车却把它撞出凹痕

我以为你会暴跳如雷——但是你没有

还记得那天虽然你说天要下雨，但我执意拖着你去沙滩

暴雨如期而至，我以为你会数落我——但是你没有

还记得那天我与别的男人故作熟稔，言笑晏晏

只为让你嫉妒，而你确实不悦

我想你大概会离开我了——但是你没有

还记得我在你的车里吐了满地的草莓派

我想你会厌恶我吧——但是你没有

还记得那天我忘了告诉你那是个正式的舞会

使得你随意地穿着牛仔裤出席

我想你一定要抛弃我了——但是你没有

诚然，有一些身为人夫该做的事你还没做

但是你容忍我，深爱我，保护我——这已足够

我想着等你从越南回来

要为你做好多事情补偿你——

但你没回来
