J. Edgar - Ry Cooder (雷·库德)
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Down on the farm we had a pig J Edgar was his name
农场里有只猪 名叫J·埃德加
He'd eat up all our victuals and start back up again
它吃光所有存粮 又转头继续觅食
Just like them vacuum cleaners they sell down in the lane
就像巷口卖的吸尘器般贪婪
Well that's how J Edgar Hoover got his name
这就是J·埃德加·胡佛名字的由来
Now momma baked a cherry pie and set it out to cool
妈妈烤好樱桃派 放在窗台晾凉
So we'd have something good to eat when we got home from school
想让我们放学回家 能尝到美味甜香
J Edgar climbed up on the porch and ate up all that pie
J·埃德加爬上台阶 把整个派都吃光
When we got home that mornin' we heard our mamma cry
清晨回到家时 只听妈妈哭声回荡
J Edgar J Edgar just look what you've done
J Edgar J Edgar 看看你干的好事
You ate up the cherry pie that was for everyone
你吃光了全家人要吃的樱桃派
We made it through the dusters and the hoppers too
我们熬过了沙尘暴和蝗灾
But God help us J Edgar 'cause nothin's safe from you
但老天帮帮我们 J Edgar 因为你什么都吃
We had an extra man named Bob he wouldn't work a lick
我们有个叫Bob的懒汉雇工
He drank bad moonshine likker and it always made him sick
他总喝劣质私酒 喝完就病怏怏
We rode to church on Sunday and stayed a while in town
周日我们去教堂 在镇上待了会儿
When we reached home at suppertime poor Bob could not be found
晚饭时间回到家 可怜的Bob已不见踪影
He wasn't in the parlor
客厅里不见他的踪影
And he wasn't in the lane
小路上也寻他不得
Drinking in the pantry or sleepin' in the hay
不是在储藏室偷饮 就是在干草堆酣睡
His hat was in the pigpen
他那顶常戴的帽子
That he always wore
遗落在猪圈里头
Poor Bob won't be drinking moonshine likker anymore
可怜的鲍勃再不能偷喝私酿烈酒
J Edgar J Edgar it just don't seem fair
J·埃德加 J·埃德加 这实在太不公平
You ate Bob our hired hand while we were at prayer
我们去祷告时 你把雇工鲍勃也吞下肚
Let's say a prayer for old Bob and our country too
让我们为老鲍勃祈祷 也为这片土地祈福
God help us J Edgar nobody's safe from you
上帝啊救救我们 埃德加 没人能逃过你的嘴
