Basil - Mark Knopfler
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
My Saturday job pays six and six down
周六兼职只赚得六先令六便士
A copy boy at the Chronicle
在纪事报当个送稿小弟
Five cigarettes and two silver half crowns
五支香烟和两枚半克朗银币
Meeting Vince at Mark Toney's in town
与文斯相约马克托尼餐厅
Boy do we get around
我们可真是浪荡不羁
Basil sits there on the table for subs
巴西尔坐在订阅处的桌旁
But not a part of the Bri-nylon club
却非人造丝俱乐部的成员
Ancient blue sweater too old for the job
破旧蓝毛衣早该退休
Bored out of his mind
百无聊赖度日如年
With the Colins and Bobs
与科林和鲍勃们周旋
I'm a jack and a lad
我是个机灵的小伙子
And I'm up for the world
正准备好闯荡世界
And I've kissed a Gateshead girl
曾吻过盖茨黑德的姑娘
He calls for a copy boy grumpy as hell
他暴躁地呼唤着跑腿小弟
Poets have to eat as well
诗人也得填饱肚皮
What he wouldn't give just to walk out today
多想今天就甩手离去
To have time to think about time
有时间去思考时光流逝
And young love thrown away
青春爱恋被轻易抛弃
I'm a jack and a lad
我是个机灵的小伙子
And I'm up for the world
正准备好闯荡世界
And I've kissed a Gateshead girl
曾吻过盖茨黑德的姑娘
Starlings swarming
椋鸟成群盘旋
A cloud over Grainger Street
格兰杰街笼罩阴云
Over the black church
掠过黑色教堂尖顶
Over the Black Gate
越过黑色大门
And the shadowy Keep
与幽暗城堡
He peers through his wire rims
他透过金属镜框窥视
At the fish and chip words
那些乏味的炸鱼薯条标语
He's supposed to dish up and forget
本该麻木复述却难忘却
His drudgery now has become slightly blurred
枯燥差事在烟雾里渐渐模糊
By one of his Players untipped cigarettes
指尖夹着无滤嘴的玩家牌香烟
Bury all joy
埋葬所有欢愉
Put the poems in sacks
将诗篇装进麻袋
And bury me here with the hacks
让我与平庸之辈长眠于此
In the summer the fair
夏日里集市
Will stretch over the Moor
会蔓延至荒原
Lovers will lie and make out in the park
恋人们在公园缠绵依偎
Basil puts on his old duffel and scarf
巴兹尔披上旧呢衣和围巾
And goes out into the dark
独自走进夜色深处
