I Sold The Arabs The Moon - David Lowery
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
And I was the man who sold the Arabs the moon
我曾向阿拉伯人兜售月亮
The Emirate Princes their hands manicured
酋长们指尖泛着鎏金光晕
Their servants with luggage they followed behind
仆从们提着皮箱列队随行
The African concubines regal and tall
非洲嫔妃们雍容挺拔
And I was the man who sold the Arabs the moon
我曾向阿拉伯人兜售月亮
They festooned their flags with crescent moons
他们将新月绣满旌旗
And I was the man who sold the English the sea
我曾向不列颠人出售海洋
They wanted the afternoon breezes it bore
他们渴求海风裹挟的暮色温柔
The sweet smell of spices from over the sea
海风送来异域香料的芬芳
The afternoon showers it brought during tea
午后骤雨伴着茶香飘荡
And I was the man who sold the English the sea
我曾向不列颠人出售海洋
I cowered before great battleship guns
在战舰巨炮前瑟缩彷徨
And I was the man who sold the Yankees the sky
我曾是将天空售予扬基的贩郎
The black of the night and the blue of the day
贩卖昼夜交替的蓝与黑
The endless horizon of hope and desire
兜售地平线上无尽的期冀与渴望
And I was the man who sold the Yankees the sky
我曾是将天空售予扬基的贩郎
The English the sea
向英国人出售海洋
The Arabs the moon
向阿拉伯人出售月亮
