This Is Hell - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
This is hell this is hell
这就是地狱 这就是地狱
I am sorry to tell you
我很遗憾地告诉你
It never gets better or worse
它既不会变好也不会更糟
But you get used to it after a spell
但你会慢慢习惯这种煎熬
For heaven is hell in reverse
因为天堂不过是倒置的地狱
The bruiser spun a hula hoop
壮汉转着呼啦圈
As all the barmen preen and pout
酒保们搔首弄姿
The neon I of nightclub flickers on and off
夜店的霓虹灯明明灭灭
And finally blew out
最终熄灭的
The irritating jingle
是那恼人的铃铛声
Of the belly dancing phoney Turkish girls
来自那些跳肚皮舞的假土耳其女郎
The eerie glare of ultra violet
诡异的紫外线光芒
Perfect dental work
完美的牙齿整形
This is hell this is hell
这就是地狱 这就是地狱
I am sorry to tell you
我很遗憾地告诉你
It never gets better or worse
它既不会变好也不会更糟
But you get used to it after a spell
但你会慢慢习惯这种煎熬
For heaven is hell in reverse
因为天堂不过是倒置的地狱
The failed don Juan in the big bow tie
系着夸张领结的失败情圣
Is very sorry that he spoke
正为失言懊悔不已
For he's mislaid his punchline
他的关键笑料早已遗失
More than halfway through a very tasteless joke
在低俗笑话讲到中途时
The Fraulein caught him peeking down her gown
那位女士逮到他偷窥裙底
He's yelling in her ear
他在她耳边咆哮怒吼
And all at once the music stopped
突然间音乐戛然而止
As he was intimately bellowing my dear
当他亲密地呼唤着"亲爱的"
This is hell this is hell
这就是地狱 这就是地狱
I am sorry to tell you
我很遗憾地告诉你
It never gets better or worse
它既不会变好也不会更糟
But you get used to it after a spell
但你会慢慢习惯这种煎熬
For heaven is hell in reverse
因为天堂不过是倒置的地狱
The shirt you wore with courage
你曾勇敢穿着的衬衫
And the violent nylon suit
与那暴戾的尼龙西装
Reappear upon your back
重新披在你背上
And undermine the polished line you try to shoot
破坏了你试图展现的完美形象
It's not the torment of the flames
不是烈焰的折磨
That finally see your flesh corrupted
最终腐蚀了你的肉体
It's the small humiliations that your memory piles up
而是记忆中堆积的微小屈辱
This is hell this is hell this is hell
这就是地狱 这就是地狱 这就是地狱
My favourite things are playing
我最爱的旋律循环播放
Again and again
一遍又一遍
But it's by Julie Andrews
但那是朱莉·安德鲁斯的吟唱
And not by John Coltrane
而非约翰·柯川的萨克斯风
Endless balmy breezes and perfect sunsets framed
永无止境的暖风 框裱完美的夕阳
Vintage wine for breakfast
早餐佐陈年佳酿
And naked starlets floating in champagne
裸身明星在香槟池中荡漾
All the passions of your youth
你年少时的炽热欲望
Are tranquillised and tamed
被安抚驯服得麻木不仁
You may think it looks familiar
或许你觉得似曾相识
Though you may know it by another name
尽管它以另一个名字存在
This is hell this is hell
这就是地狱 这就是地狱
I am sorry to tell you
我很遗憾地告诉你
It never gets better or worse
它既不会变好也不会更糟
But you get used to it after a spell
但你会慢慢习惯这种煎熬
For heaven is hell in reverse
因为天堂不过是倒置的地狱
This is hell this is hell
这就是地狱 这就是地狱
