Hippie Boy - The Flying Burrito Brothers

Hippie Boy - The Flying Burrito Brothers
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I was walking down the street the other day
那日我漫步街头
And a sight came before my eyes
眼前浮现奇异景象
It was a little hippie boy I must have been twice his size
是个嬉皮少年郎 身形不及我半高
His appearance typified his strange breed
他装扮彰显着独特族群
Gaudy clothes long stringy hair hanging down
花哨衣衫 发丝如瀑垂落
I'd seen perhaps a thousand in my early trips to town
早年间进城路上 此类人见过千百
As he walked beside me on down the block
他随我走过街巷
I noticed no unpleasing smell
周身并无刺鼻味道
He might have been on the w**d or even LSD
他或许吸食过**或致幻剂
But if he was I couldn't tell
但即便那样我也无从察觉
So we walked together that way through this neighborhood
就这样我们并肩穿过街巷
Finally he turned around to me
最后他蓦然转身对我说
He said "Friend you know we're a million miles apart
"朋友 你我虽相隔千万里
But you know something we can enjoy the sunshine and the weather
但何不共享这阳光与清风
So why don't we put our differences aside
让我们放下所有分歧
And just talk to each other
只需真诚相对"
You see this box beneath my arm
看我臂弯下这个盒子
To you it's plain it has no charm
在你眼中平凡无奇
But to someone dearest to my heart
却是我至亲至爱之人
This box has played a tragic part
承载着悲剧的印记
This little one can't tell you himself about his life and how he died
这幼小的灵魂已无法诉说他的生死
But if anyone else could speak for him I guess I'm qualified
若有人能代他发声 我或许最是合适
This boy was in Chicago he didn't know why he was there
男孩曾漂泊芝加哥 茫然不知为何在此
He was with his family and friends and he didn't really care
与亲友相伴的时光 他从不曾在意
You might have been one of those
你或许曾是其中之一
Who saw the struggle there on your television screen
在电视荧幕上目睹那场挣扎
The tragic thing is so much else happened
可悲的是更多不为人知的事
That no one else could have seen
无人能真正看清
A stranger handed this boy a dollar to do a simple chore
陌生人递给男孩一美元
To carry a package to a nearby hotel
让他送包裹到附近旅店
And when he returned he'd get two more
承诺归来时再得两元
But when he came back he sort of lost his way
可他返回时却迷失了方向
Walking through the crowd
漫步在人群之中
One of them things you ask yourself how the Lord allowed
你不由自问 为何上帝会容许这般存在
But when he was found he was like he is now
但当他被发现时 仍保持着此刻的模样
Dreaming sweet and still
安详地做着美梦
And in his little hand was a crumpled dollar bill
小小的手心攥着皱巴巴的钞票
Now you can take that dollar
你可以拿走那张钞票
Get four cents on it compound it quarterly at any downtown bank
去市中心任何银行 按季度复利换成四分钱
So they can back some hot new tank or atom bomb
好让他们资助新型坦克或原子弹
What I'm going to tell you now you can stay or you can leave
此刻我要讲述的故事 去留随你心意
You kind of listened to my story so far but just one more thing
你已听完大半篇章 但请再听最后一句
It's the same for any hippie bum or hillbilly out on the street
街头嬉皮乡巴佬 命运皆同此理
Just remember this little boy and never carry more than you can eat
铭记那个小男孩 莫贪多求全自取灭亡
Now could you help us sing this song please
可否与我们同唱这首歌谣
There will be peace in the valley for him now we pray
愿山谷为他铺就安宁之路
I will think of the little hippie boy that way that way
我会永远记得 那个嬉皮少年的模样
