Seven lonely days
Make one lonely week.
Seven lonely nights
Make one lonely me.
Ever since the time
You told me we were through,
Seven lonely days I cried
And cried for you.
Oh, my darling,
You're crying. Boo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
There is no use
In denying I cried for you.
It was your favorite pastime
Making me blue.
Last night was the last time
I cried for you.
Seven lonely days
Make one lonely week.
Seven lonely nights
Make one lonely me.
Ever since the time
You told me we were through.
Seven lonely days I cried
And cried for you.
Oh, my darling,
You're crying. Boo-hoo-hoo-hoo
There is no use
In denying I cried for you.
It was your favorite pastime
Making me blue.
Last night was the last time
I cried for you.
Seven hankies blue
Are filled with my tears.
Seven letters too are filled with my tears.
Guess it never pays
To make your love blue.
Seven lonely days I cried
And cried for you.
Cried and cried for you,
Cried and cried for you.

[语言点解析]
1．Seven lonely days make one lonely week．
make：构成；成为
例如：12 months make one year. 12个月为一年.
2．Seven lonely nights make one lonely me.
这种相同的结构在本句中产生了很好的表达,即
lonely me. Seven对one,lonely对lonely, nights对me, 中间有动词make.假如我们把句子换成Seven lonely
nights make me lonely,意思无大变动,但那种lonely 效果不如lonely me所表达的涵义.
例如：Sunshine always makes a happy me.阳光总是造就幸福的我.
3．Ever since the time you told me we were through,
=Since the time when you told me our love came to an end,…
be through（with）：与……断绝关系；结束与……的关系,结束
例如：When were you through? 你们之间的关系是什么时候断绝的?
4．It was your favorlte pastime making me blue.
pastime：消遣；娱乐
favorite： best liked最喜欢的；特别受喜爱的人物
blue：（口语）sad； depressed忧伤；沮丧
例如：Playing at chess is my favorite pastime.下象棋是我最喜爱的消遣.
Mark Twain is my favorite writer.马克·吐温是我最喜欢的作家.
5．Seven hankies blue are filled with my tears.
=Seven blue handkerchieves are wet with my tears.
blue可作双关语,一是蓝颜色,一是伤心.blue表伤心时是一种移情用法,给handkerchieves也注入了感情.
6．Guess it never pays to make your love blue.
=I think I cannot gain anything even if I make your love sad.
guess：猜想；估计；臆测；推测；猜出；猜着；猜中
at a guess：依猜测
pay在此处为“有利或有好处”.
to make your love blue： to make your love sad.
[注释与赏析]
这首音歌由乔治娅·吉布斯（Georgia Gibbs）演唱.
这首歌听似节奏轻快,内容实则悲哀.女主人公反复使用seven和lonely及blue等字眼.一周七日无一天不寂寞；一周七夜无一夜不孤独.七个白日与黑夜造就孤独的我,只因为他告诉女主人公他们爱情已断.虽然她悲伤过度,整整七天昼夜流泪,但也知道,哭是没有用,因为她看冒出,让她伤心是他喜爱的消遣,因此,她决定：昨夜是她最后一次为他哭.
失恋是痛苦的,心情是沉重的.失恋后的日子寂寞而漫长.但沉迷于日夜流泪,黯然神伤,天天以泪洗面又有何益?漫漫人生路,总有坎坷处,每个人都应经常调节心情,让日子欢乐,让生活充买.人首先要自尊、自立、自强,不能把自己的命运和情感寄托在他人身上.只有力求上劲,奋斗不止,历经坎坷,才能战胜困难；遇到类似突发事变,才能真正炼就临变不惊的处事本领.
