Badman Ballad - Cisco Houston
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Early one evening I was rolling around
某个傍晚我四处游荡
I was feeling kind of mean
心中充满暴戾狂想
I shot a deputy down
枪声响起副警长倒下
Strolled along home
我悠然踱步回家
And I went to bed
若无其事躺上床榻
I laid me pistol up under my head
枕下藏着冰冷手枪
He strolled on home
他缓缓走向家门
I took my time
我刻意放慢脚步
And he went to bed
他躺下就寝
Thought I'd sleep some
本想小憩片刻
Laid his pistol
将那把手枪
Big forty-four
点四四大口径
Up under his head
枕在头下方
I keep it handy
我随时备着它
Early in the morning at the break of day
破晓晨光初现时
I figured it was time to make a getaway
我盘算该是逃亡时刻
I was stepping right along
我正快步前行
But I was stepping too slow
但步伐却太过迟缓
Got surrounded by a sheriff down in Mexico
在墨西哥被副警长团团围住
He was stepping right along
他步步紧逼
I was hot-footing it
我慌忙逃窜
But he was stepping too slow
可他的脚步却如此缓慢
A hot day
炎炎烈日下
Got surrounded by a sheriff
终究难逃警长围捕
Boxed in
困兽犹斗
In Mexico
在墨西哥边境
I didn't even have a chance to see the country
甚至来不及看清这片土地
When I was arrested
就被戴上了镣铐
I didn't have a dime
身无分文
The sheriff said
警长冷笑道
Son you're riding free this time
小子这次算你走运
Where you're going you won't need a cent
你要去的地方根本用不着钱
'Cause the great state of
因为伟大的得克萨斯州
Texas gonna pay your rent
会替你付房租
'Cause where you're going
毕竟你要去的地方
I think he means jail
他指的是监狱
You won't need a cent
你一分钱都不用带
Well he knows I'm broke
他知道我身无分文
'Cause the great state of Texas
因为伟大的得克萨斯州
Um-hmmm

Is gonna pay your rent
这代价将让你倾家荡产
I'm mighty grateful
我满怀感激
Well I didn't have a key and

I didn't have a file
也没有锉刀
Naturally

I stayed around until my trial

The judge was an old man ninety-three

And I didn't like the way the jury looked at me
陪审团的眼神更让我心寒
The judge was an old man

They all said murder in the first degree

The judge said
法官说道
I don't know whether to hang you or not

But this here killing of deputy

Sheriffs has just naturally got to stop

You've got a point there judge
您说得对 法官大人
It was a most unsatisfactory trial
这场审判实在草率荒唐
They gave me ninety-nine years on the hard rock pile

Ninety and nine on the hard rock ground

All I ever did was shoot a deputy down

On the hard rock ground
在这冰冷坚硬的土地上
They might-a hung me

And all he ever did

Was shoot a deputy down
不过是击毙了一名警长
This whole thing has sure been a lesson to me
这一切着实给了我深刻教训
