Sunday Lord - Jared Mees and the Grown Children

Sunday Lord - Jared Mees/The Grown Children
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Well they would play spite and malice in saint angelo and dallas
他们在圣安杰洛和达拉斯玩着恶意与怨恨的游戏
Both sides of my family both playing the same game
我家族的两支都在进行同样的较量
Between 8:30 and 10 after supper before bed
晚餐后入睡前 八点半到十点之间
It was a good way to relax and it didn't cost a thing
这是种无需花费的惬意消遣
Cause the tendency of my lineage and kin on both sides of my family
因为我血脉相承的两支家族
Was to burn it at both ends
都习惯耗尽所有
And when they burned it all down to nothing
当一切化为灰烬时
It was time to stop messing around and start all over again
就该停止荒唐 重新开始
And they did it monday for the family
他们周一为家庭奔波劳碌
And tuesday for the money
周二为金钱辛勤工作
And wednesday for that twenty acre crop
周三照料那二十英亩庄稼
And they did it thursday and friday so they'd feel right
周四和周五的忙碌让他们心安
About going out on saturday night
才能在周六夜晚放松片刻
And sunday lord because they couldn't stop
而周日啊 他们依然停不下脚步
Like my father and my father's father and his old man too
就像我父亲 祖父和曾祖父那样
Got more done in an hour than most men the whole day do
一小时完成的劳作抵过常人整日时光
But they must have made a deal with that specter in the fields
他们定是与田野幽灵达成了契约
Just let us feed our families and we'll work our whole lives for you
只要让我们养家糊口 我们愿终生为你劳作
Cause there was one two three four little mouths to feed
因为有一二三四张小嘴要喂养
And there was four five six seven workdays in a week
而一周有五六七个工作日要奔忙
And before the morning lights they would have breakfast on
在晨光熹微前 他们已用罢早餐
Because only lazy bones get up at the break of dawn
只有懒骨头才会等到黎明才起床
And they did it monday for the family
他们周一为家庭奔波劳碌
And tuesday for the money
周二为金钱辛勤工作
And wednesday for that twenty acre crop
周三照料那二十英亩庄稼
And they did it thursday and friday so they'd be able to supper
周四周五不停歇 只为周末餐桌丰盛
On saturday's dinner table
周六晚餐能丰盛
And sunday lord because they couldn't stop
而周日啊 他们依然停不下脚步
Now the other half in the city was just as hard and gritty
城市里的另一半同样艰辛
But instead of planting seeds they were signing deeds and making loans
不播种庄稼 只签署契约办理贷款
And though their bodies weren't taking the beatin'
虽然身体未受风吹日晒
It was all just to keep the family eatin'
这一切只为让家人温饱无忧
They'd spend long nights punching numbers in that back office all alone
他们独自在后台办公室 彻夜敲打着数字
Because that one two three four percent interest rate
因为那百分之几的微薄利率
They were chargin' translated to the most razor thin of profit margins
换算下来利润薄如刀锋
And an overhead fluorescent bulb can be as cruel as the sun
头顶的荧光灯管 像烈日般残酷无情
But they would take it in the stomach
但他们咬牙承受
When there was a job to be done
只要工作尚未完成
And they did it monday for the family
他们周一为家庭奔波劳碌
And tuesday for the money
周二为金钱辛勤工作
And wednesday for that small savings and loan
周三为那微薄积蓄操劳
And on thursday and friday they ducked their heads
周四和周五他们埋头苦干
So that could spend saturday night with friends
只为周六能与朋友相聚
And sunday lord they did it all alone
周日啊 他们独自承担一切
Yeah sunday lord they did it all alone
是的 周日啊 他们独自承担一切
