以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
It's not very far from Sulphur to Sugarcane
从硫磺镇到甘蔗地 路途并不遥远
Everywhere I travel pretty girls call my name
每至一处 总有佳人轻唤我名
I give 'em as squeeze and they shoot me a wink
我赠以拥抱 她们回以媚眼
I buy their hot-headed husbands a long cool drink
再请她们莽夫痛饮冰镇美酒
You'd better come up smelling sweet
你最好保持体面芬芳
'Cos you're a long time stinking
毕竟恶臭将伴你漫长时光
Then it's a little too late to complain
待到那时 抱怨已为时太晚
It's not very far from Sulphur to Sugarcane
从硫磺镇到甘蔗地 路途并不遥远
Now if you catch my eye
若你与我对视相望
And you find that it runs down your leg
便会发觉情愫流淌
It's like striking a match pretty hard upon a powder keg
犹如火柴划过火药桶般炽烈疯狂
They'll tell you from the borders to the waters in the Gulf
从边境到海湾人们都这般讲
And if you take all the sugar you'll end up in the sulphur
若贪恋所有甜蜜终将堕入硫磺
And you'll burn in
烈火焚身无处藏
"Hello baby I'm a pleased to meet you"
"嘿宝贝 幸会"轻佻开场
"I wouldn't do you wrong honey"
"我绝不会辜负你 亲爱的"
"I wouldn't cheat you honey'"
"我绝不会欺骗你 亲爱的"
"When can I see you again "
"何时能再见到你"
"Wrap you up in cellophane"
"将你包裹在保鲜膜里"
It's not very far from Sulphur to Sugarcane
从硫磺镇到甘蔗田并不遥远
It's not very far from Sulphur to Sugarcane
从硫磺镇到甘蔗田并不遥远
And your eyes fill up with brine
你的眼中泛起咸涩
Because you're drowning in wine
因你沉醉在酒海里
It's like the last days of Rome
宛如罗马帝国的末日景象
With the despots and divine
暴君与神明共舞的荒诞时光
There's no place like home
再没有比家更温暖的地方
For a little doll from China
尤其对那个中国瓷娃娃而言
It's a little too late to complain
此刻抱怨已为时太晚
It's not very far from Sulphur to Sugarcane
从硫磺镇到甘蔗地 路途并不遥远
You can go west to Texas
向西可至德克萨斯荒野
Go east to Mississippi
向东能抵密西西比河岸
You can run out of money

You can run out of pity
怜悯也会枯竭
Throw open your purse

Until you're crying for mercy

As they gargle with the finest champagne

When they can't get the grape or the grain
