Jerusalem Tomorrow - James King
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Man you should have seen me way back then
老兄你真该看看当年的我
I could tell a tale I could make it spin
能把故事编得天花乱坠
I could tell you black was white
我能指黑为白
I could tell you day was night
也能颠倒昼夜
Not only that I could tell you why
不仅如此 我还能说出个中缘由
Back then I could really tell a lie
那时候的我 撒谎堪称一绝
When I'd hire a kid to say that he was lame
我曾雇个孩子假装瘸腿
Then I'd touch him and make him walk again
再碰他一下 就让他"痊愈"行走
I'd pull some magic trick
我曾施展神奇戏法
I'd pretend to heal the sick
假装能治愈病痛
I was takin' everything they had to give
榨取人们所有馈赠
It wasn't all that bad a way to live
这般生活倒也逍遥
Well I'm in this desert town and it's hot as hell
如今身处沙漠小镇 酷热难当
But no one's buyin' what I got to sell
却无人问津我的把戏
I can make my lame kid walk
我能让瘸腿孩童行走
I can make my dumb guy talk
能让哑巴开口说话
I'm preachin' up a storm both night and day
我日夜不停地说教布道
Everyone just turns and walks away
众人却纷纷转身离去
Well I can see I'm only wasting time
终于明白只是在虚度光阴
So I head across the road to drink some wine
于是穿过马路去喝杯酒
This old man comes up to me
有位老者向我走来
He says I've seen you on the street
他说常在街头见到你
And you're pretty good if I do say so myself
不得不说你确实很有一套
But the guy comes through last month
但上个月来了个更厉害的家伙
He was somethin' else
他真是个奇人
Instead of callin' down fire from above
不像那些呼风唤雨的神棍
He just gets real quiet and talks of love
他只是静静讲述爱的真谛
And I'll tell you somethin' funny
说来有趣
He didn't want nobody's money
他从不贪图钱财
I'm not exactly sure
我虽不甚明了
What all this means
这一切的深意
But it's the damnest thing
但这实在奇妙非凡
I swear I've ever seen
我发誓我曾亲眼所见
Oh well since that time every town is the same
自那以后 每个城镇都如此相似
Can't make a dime don't know why I came
分文难赚 不知为何而来
I decided I'll go and find him
我决定去寻找他的踪迹
And I'll find out who's behind him
要揭开他背后的秘密
He's got everyone convinced that he's for real
他让所有人都信以为真
Well I figure we can work some kind of deal
我想我们可以达成某种交易
Well he offers me a job and I say fine
当他给我工作时 我说好
He says I'll get paid off on down the line
他说终有一日我会得到回报
Well I guess I'll string along
好吧 我决定随他同行
Don't see how much could go wrong
看不出能有什么差错
As long as he pays my way I guess I'll follow
只要他承担开销 我想我会追随
We're headed for Jerusalem tomorrow
明日我们便启程前往耶路撒冷
