Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues (Alternate Take) - Bob Dylan

Written by：B. Dylan

When you're lost in the rain in Juarez
当你在华雷斯城的雨中走失
And it's Eastertime too
此时正值复活节
And your gravity fails
你重心失衡倒下
And negativity don't pull you through
消极失意不能让你振作起来
Don't put on any airs
千万别装腔作势
When you're down on Rue Morgue Avenue
当你走在停尸房大街
They got some hungry women there
那儿遍地都是面黄肌瘦的女人
And they really make a mess outa you
他们真会把你搞得晕头转向
Now if you see Saint Annie
现在你如果见过圣安妮
Please tell her Thanks a lot
请转告她我很感激她
I cannot move
我已经走不动了
My fingers are all in a knot
我的手指全都打结乱颤
I don't have the strength
我已经无力
To get up and take another shot
直起身来再射出一枪
And my best friend my doctor
我最好的朋友 我的医生
Won't even say what it is I've got
甚至不会透露我捕获到的究竟是什么
Sweet Melinda
亲爱的梅琳达
The peasants call her the Goddess of gloom
农民都呼她作黑暗女神
She speaks good English
她讲一口流利的英语
And she invites you up into her room
她邀请你上楼到她房里去
And you're so kind
你如此友善以对
And careful not to go to her too soon
小心翼翼表现出并不急着去她那里
And she still your voice
她飘然离你而去
And leaves you howling at the moon
把你丢在外面独啸朗月
Up on Housing Project Hill
月亮高高挂在住宅项目区所在的山上
It's either fortune or fame
要么要名要么求利
You must pick one or the other
你必须选择其一
Though neither of them are to be what they claim
虽然两者并不像它们表面宣扬的那样
If you're looking to get silly
如果你深入其间愈发蠢笨不堪
You better go back to from where you came
你最好马上回家去吧
Because the cops don't need you
因为警察不需要你
And man they expect the same
人类的需求如此相似
Now all the authorities
而今所有这些当局
They just stand around and boast
他们只是尸位素餐信口吹嘘
How they blackmailed the Sergeant at Arms
他们怎能敲诈警卫官呢
Into leaving his post
擅自离开他的岗位
And picking up Angel
接待这位天使
Who just arrived here from the coast
她才刚刚从海岸边赶来
Who looked so fine at first
乍看似乎神采奕奕
But left looking just like a ghost
但走时再看却像个幽灵
I started out on Burgundy
我开始沉湎于葡萄美酒
But soon hit the harder stuff
但很快碰上更大的麻烦
Everybody said they'd stand behind me
每个人都说他们在我身后支持我
When the game got rough
当游戏变得愈加艰难
But the joke was on me
但笑话仍然阴魂不散
There was nobody even there to bluff
那儿甚至叫喊吓唬我的人都没有
I'm going back to New York City
我还是回纽约城吧
I do believe I've had enough
我相信我该知足了
