Dogtown - Harry Chapin

Dogtown - Harry Chapin
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Up in massachusetts there's a little spit of land
马萨诸塞州有片狭长的土地
The men who make the maps
绘制地图的人们
Yes they call the place cape ann
称它为安角
The men who do the fishing call it gloucester harbor sound
捕鱼的男人们叫它格洛斯特港
But the women left behind they call the place dogtown
留守的女人却称此地为狗镇
The men go out for whaling
男人们出海捕鲸
Past the breakers and the fogs
穿越碎浪与浓雾
The women stay home waiting they're protected by the dogs
女人们留守家中 与狗为伴等待归航
A tough old whaler woman who had seen three husbands drown
历经三任丈夫葬身鱼腹的坚毅渔妇
Polled the population and she named the place dogtown
环顾寂寥人群 将此地唤作犬镇
There's all these grey faced
尽是苍老容颜
Women in their black widow's gowns
身着黑寡妇丧服的女子们
Living in this grave yard granite town
栖居在这墓碑林立的石镇
Yeah you soon learn there's many more than one way to drown
终将明白 溺亡方式何止一种
That's while going to the dogs here in dogtown
这便是犬镇逐渐沉沦的真相
And she speaks
她轻声诉说
My father was a merchant all in the boston fief
我父亲曾是波士顿领地的商人
When my husband came and asked him for my hand
当我的丈夫前来向他提亲时
But little did I know then that a gloucester whaler's wife
那时我怎会知晓 格洛斯特捕鲸人的妻子
Marries but the sea salt and the sand
嫁给的不过是海盐与沙滩
He took me up to dogtown the day I was a bride
婚礼那天他带我来到狗镇
We had ten days together before he left my side
我们仅相守十日 他便离我而去
He's the first mate of a whaling ship
他是捕鲸船上的大副
The keeper of the log
守日志的人说道
He said farewell my darling
他告别亲爱的妻子
I'm going to leave you with my dog
我要把狗儿留给你作伴
And I have seen the splintered
我曾见过无数残骸
Timbers of a hundred shattered hulls
破碎船体的断裂龙骨
Known the silence of the granite
熟悉花岗岩的沉默
And the screeching of the gulls
与海鸥的尖声鸣叫
I've heard that crazy widow
听闻那疯癫寡妇的故事
Cather walk the harbor as she raves
凯瑟徘徊在港口 对着海浪喃喃自语
At the endless rolling whisper of the waves
永无止息的浪涛声 在她耳畔低语
Sitting by the fireside the embers slowly die
炉火旁独坐 余烬渐熄
Is it a sign of weakness when a woman wants to cry
女人想哭泣时 是否就是软弱证明
The dog is closely watching the fire glints in his eye
忠犬静静守候 火光在它眼中跃动
No use to go to sleep this early no use to even try
此刻入眠太早 辗转反侧也无用
My blood beats like a woman's
我的心跳如寻常女子
I've got a woman's breast and thighs
也有着女子的胸脯与腰肢
But where am I to offer them
我该向何处献上这份思念
To the ocean or the skies
是投向大海 还是寄予苍穹
Living with this silent dog
与这沉默的狗儿相依为命
All the moments of my life
度过我生命中的每分每秒
He has been my only husband
它成了我唯一的伴侣
Am I a widow or his wife
我究竟是寡妇还是妻子
Yes it's a dogtown and it's a fog town
这里是狗镇 也是雾镇
And there's nothing around 'cept
四下空无一物 唯有
The sea pounding granite ground
海浪拍打着花岗岩岸
And this black midnight horror of a hound
这午夜黑犬令人胆寒
I'm standing on this craggy cliff
我伫立在这嶙峋峭壁
My eyes fixed on the sea
目光凝望远方海际
Six months past when his ship was due
归期已过六月有余
I'm a widow to be
我已成未亡之妻
For liking this half living
苟活于这半生不死
With the lonely and the fog
与孤寂雾霭为伴
You need the bastard of the mating of a woman and a dog
你需要一个女子与犬结合的孽种
And I have seen the splintered
我曾见过无数残骸
Timbers of a hundred shattered hulls
破碎船体的断裂龙骨
Known the silence of the granite
熟悉花岗岩的沉默
And the screeching of the gulls
与海鸥的尖声鸣叫
I've heard that crazy widow
听闻那疯癫寡妇的故事
Cather walk the harbor as she raves
凯瑟徘徊在港口 对着海浪喃喃自语
At the endless rolling whisper of the waves
永无止息的浪涛声 在她耳畔低语
At the endless rolling whisper of the waves
永无止息的浪涛声 在她耳畔低语
At the endless rolling whisper of the waves
永无止息的浪涛声 在她耳畔低语
