The Fireplace Poker - Drive-By Truckers
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
The Reverend had his wife done in
牧师策划了妻子的谋杀
By a guy I knew in high school
凶手是我高中时代的旧识
He and a friend should do her in
他和同伙将她杀害
And make it look like a robbery
现场伪装成抢劫模样
"Here's money son go buy a gun
"拿着钱去买把枪吧 孩子
And shoot her in the head
对准她的头颅开枪
No one who dies testifies
死人永远不会开口作证
Make sure that she is dead"
务必确保她彻底死亡"
The heathens were paid a thousand bucks
异教徒收了一千美金酬劳
To eliminate someone
奉命去取人性命
Plus they were paid five hundred more
另加五百块辛苦费
To get themselves a gun
用来购置杀人枪械
The guy I knew had a hunting knife
我认识那人带着猎刀
"Why bother with a gun
"何必大费周章用枪
She'll still be dead why sweat details
横竖都是死 何须计较细节
As long as it gets done"
只要任务能完成"
The Bible said that Jesus bled
圣经记载耶稣流血
For the sins of the rest of us
为世人罪孽赎偿
The Reverend had his wife done in
牧师策划了妻子的谋杀
For fifteen hundred bucks
只为区区一千五
They knocked upon the door
他们叩响门扉
Said their car broke down
谎称车辆抛锚
And asked if they could use the phone
假意借用电话
For a ride back into town
求搭便车返城
They stabbed her several times
他们连刺数刀
And left her there for dead
任她奄奄一息
Bleeding and crying out
鲜血浸透哭喊
And gasping for breath
喘息支离破碎
And they went out the very next night
翌夜他们招摇过市
And bragged about it
竟将罪行炫耀
The Reverend came home from work
牧师归家之时
And found the Mrs dying
只见夫人垂危
Life was falling from her grasp
生命正从她指间流逝
But still she lay there trying
她却仍挣扎着想要诉说
No one will ever know what she told him
无人知晓她最后的低语
Or know what he told her
也无人听见他的回应
'Cause the Reverend did his wife in
因牧师亲手了结发妻
Fifteen whacks fireplace poker
壁炉拨火棍十五记重击
The headlines screamed out
新闻头条赫然叫嚣着
"Brutal murder small town preacher's wife"
"小镇牧师之妻惨遭毒手"
The crime rocked all of Colbert County
这桩罪行震惊了整个科尔伯特县
As each new fact came to light
随着真相逐渐浮出水面
It seems the preacher had a girl
原来牧师在外另有新欢
He counseled on the side
他假借辅导之名暗度陈仓
Now the sh*t was coming down
如今东窗事发
And she was scared to lie
她再难隐瞒真相
The preacher came home from the funeral
牧师参加完葬礼回到家中
And found policemen waiting
发现警察早已守候
The heathens it seems got coked up and drunk
那两个恶棍 **酗酒后
And did a lot of communicating
吐露了所有真相
Life is cheap for a couple of creeps
卑劣者的命不值一提
But this here is the smoker
但关键证据在此
Their prints were found all 'round the room
房间布满他们的指纹
But not on the fireplace poker
唯独壁炉拨火棍上无痕
The preacher's son brought his father home
牧师的儿子带父亲归家
And followed him inside
尾随他进入屋内
Shots rang out in the Tuscumbia night
枪声划破塔斯卡比亚的夜空
Was he alone when he died
临终时他是否孤身一人
"Don't call the son for questioning
"不必传唤儿子审问
That bullet was deserved
那颗子弹是他罪有应得
Better call it suicide justice has been served"
就说是自杀吧 正义已得伸张"
Better call it suicide justice has been served
就说是自杀吧 正义已得伸张
