Tombstone Blues (Take 9) - Bob Dylan

Written by：Bob Dylan

The sweet pretty things are in bed now of course
当然啦 现在这些甜美漂亮的东西早已收入囊中
The city fathers they're trying to endorse
城市显赫官员正忙着签署事宜
The reincarnation of Paul Revere's horse
他们是保罗列维尔坐骑的化身
But the town has no need to be nervous
但城镇完全不必局促难安
The ghost of Belle Starr she hands down her wits
女罗宾汉的鬼魂将她唾手可得的智慧
To Jezebel the nun she violently knits
传给这个放荡的修女 她猛烈地编织
A bald wig for Jack the Ripper who sits
一套秃顶假发给坐在一旁的开膛手杰克
At the head of the chamber of commerce
在商会聚集开会之前
Mama's in the fact'ry
妈妈还在工厂里操劳
She ain't got no shoes
脚上连鞋都没有
Daddy's in the alley
爸爸游走在大街小巷
He's lookin' for food
只为找点食物
I'm in the kitchen
我在厨房里
With the tombstone blues
唱一首墓碑蓝调
The hysterical bride in the penny arcade
游乐场上歇斯底里的新娘
Screaming she moans I've just been made
尖叫并且呻吟道 我刚刚被人污了清白
Sends out for the doctor who pulls down the shade
然后请来医生 他迅速扯下白色遮布
And says my advice is to not let the boys in
并说 我的建议是别让男人进来
Then the medicine man comes and he shuffles inside
现在巫医来啦 他嚷嚷搅合着要进去
He walks with a swagger and he says to the bride
他大模大样地走进来并对新娘说
Stop all this weeping swallow your pride
停止你愚蠢的哭泣吧 收起你的傲慢
You will not die it's not poison
你不会死去的 又不是中毒啦
Mama's in the fact'ry
妈妈还在工厂里操劳
She ain't got no shoes
脚上连鞋都没有
Daddy's in the alley
爸爸游走在大街小巷
He's lookin' for food
只为找点食物
I'm in the kitchen

With the tombstone blues

Well John the Baptist after torturing a thief
好吧 施洗者约翰严刑拷打一个小偷之后
Says at his hero the commander in chief
抬头仰望他心中的英雄总司令官
Tell me great hero but please make it brief
并说 告诉我吧伟大的英雄 但请言简意赅
Is there a hole for me to get sick in
我会在一个洞穴中衰亡腐朽吗
The commander in chief answers him while chasing a fly
总司令官回答他的时候正在赶苍蝇
Saying death to all those who would whimper and cry
他说 死亡只会青睐那些啜泣痛哭之人
And dropping a bar bell he points to the sky
丢掉杠铃后 他指着天空
Saying the sun's not yellow it's chicken
补上一句 太阳还不够昏黄 真够懦夫啊
Mama's in the fact'ry
妈妈还在工厂里操劳
She ain't got no shoes
脚上连鞋都没有
Daddy's in the alley

He's lookin' for the food
