以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I knew a man Bojangles
我认识一个叫波江格尔的老人
And he danced for you
他曾为你翩翩起舞
In worn out shoes
穿着那双破旧的舞鞋
With silver hair a ragged shirt
银发斑驳 衣衫褴褛
And baggy pants the old soft shoe
宽松裤管下踏着轻柔的舞步
He jumped so high he jumped so high
他纵身跃起 跃得那么高
Then he lightly touched down
又轻盈地落回地面
I met him in a New Orleans coffee
我在新奥尔良的咖啡馆遇见他
I was down and out
当时我正落魄潦倒
He looked to me to be the very eyes of age
他那双眼睛仿佛看尽人间沧桑
As he spoke right out
当他开口诉说
He talked of life he talked of life
他谈起人生 谈起过往
He laughed slapped his leg a step
他大笑着拍腿起舞
Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles
波江格先生 波江格先生
Mr Bojangles dance
波江格先生 翩翩起舞
He said now
他缓缓说道
At every dance in honky tonks
在每间乡村酒吧的舞会上
For drink and tips
为酒钱和小费起舞
But most of the time
但大多数时光
I spend behind these county bars
我都在这些县监狱的铁窗后度过
He said you know I drinks a bit
他说你知道我贪杯成性
Shook his head
摇着头
And as he shook his head
当他摇头时
He just noted
他只是轻声说道
Please
拜托
Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles
波江格先生 波江格先生
Mr Bojangles dance

He said I was young
他说我年少时
I dance seven nowhere
四处漂泊起舞
For drink and tips
为酒钱和小费起舞
He spoke with tears of 15 years
他含泪诉说十五载往事
How his dog and him traveled down across the south beach
他与爱犬曾一路漂泊 走过南方海滩
His dog up and died he just up and died
直到那天爱犬突然离世 猝然长逝
After 20 years he still grieves
二十年光阴流逝 他仍难掩哀伤
