Here’s to the Losers – Frank Sinatra

Dec 31st, 2006 by Ashley

HL mentioned the song to me the other day, it was used in ST:DS9. He was complaining about why good persons always suffer and how Charly declared this song as the ultimate “Good Men” song.

The clip is kindly provided by Locutus (okay, I stole the link from HL) from a scene in ST:DS9 Tears Of The Prophets. In the clip, Julian Bashir (my eye candy of DS9) and Quark were the two losers Vic sang to.

lyrics as follows
Here’s to those who love not too wisely, know not wisely, but too well
To the girl who sighs with envy when she hears that wedding bell
To the guy who’d throw a party if he knew someone to call
Here’s to the losers, bless them all

Here’s to those who drink their dinners when that lady doesn’t show
To the girl who’ll wait for kisses underneath that mistletoe
(聖誕節的傳統是站在 mistletoe 下的兩人要接吻)
To the lonely summer lovers when the leaves begin to fall
Here’s to the losers, a-bless them all

Hey, Tom, Dick and Harry, come in out of the rain
(Tom, Dick and Harry 通常指的是女生身邊的眾多追求者, 就像 Taming of the Shrew 裡 Bianca 的三個追求者. )
Those torches you carry must be drowned in champagne

Here’s the last toast of the evening, here’s to those who still believe
All the losers will be winners, all the givers shall receive
Here’s to trouble-free tomorrows, may your sorrows all be small
Here’s to the losers, bless them all

MUSICAL INTERLUDE

Hey, Tom, Dick and Harry, come in out of that rain
Those torches you carry must be drowned in champagne

Here’s the last toast of the evening, here’s to those who still believe
All the losers will be winners, all the givers shall receive
Here’s to trouble-free tomorrows, may your sorrows all be small
Here’s to the losers, here’s to the losers, here’s to the losers
Bless them all!
