以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
If you ever go back into Wooly Swamp son you better not go at night

There's things out there in the middle of them woods

That'd make a strong man die from fright
连壮汉也会被吓得魂飞魄散
There's things that crawl and things that fly
有东西在爬行 有东西在飞翔
And things that creep around on the ground
还有东西在地面悄然蠕动
And they say the ghost of Lucias Clay gets up and it walks around
他们说卢西亚斯·克莱的鬼魂会起身游荡
But I couldn't believe it I just had to find out for myself
但我无法相信 必须亲自去探寻真相
And I couldn't conceive it I never would listen to nobody else
我难以想象 从不听信他人之言
No I couldn't believe it I just had to find out for myself
是的我无法相信 必须亲自去探寻真相
That there's some things in this world you just can't explain
这世上有些事就是无法解释
The old man lived in the Wooly Swamp way back in the gurgling woods
老卢西亚斯独居伍利沼泽 在那幽暗密林深处
And he never did do a lot of harm in the world
他虽未在世间行过恶事
But he never did do no good
却也从未施善助人
People didn't think too much of him
乡邻对他颇有微词
They all thought he acted funny
都说这老头行径古怪
The old man didn't care about people anyway
老人本就不在意世俗眼光
All he cared about was his money
满心只惦念着金银宝藏
He'd stuff it all down in Mason jars and bury it all around
将钱财塞满梅森罐 深埋沼泽各处
But on certain nights if the moon was right
但在某些月光如水的夜晚
He'd dig it up out of the ground
他会从地里挖出那些钱财
He'd pour it all out on the floor of his shack
将财宝倾倒在木屋地板上
And run his fingers through it
用手指细细摩挲把玩
Old Lucias Clay was a greedy old man
老卢西亚斯·克莱是个贪婪的老头
And that's all there ever was to it
这就是故事的全部真相
But I couldn't believe it I just had to find out for myself
但我无法相信 必须亲自去探寻真相
And I couldn't conceive it I never would listen to nobody else
我难以想象 从不听信他人之言
No I couldn't believe it I just had to find out for myself
是的我无法相信 必须亲自去探寻真相
That there's some things in this world you just can't explain
这世上有些事就是无法解释
The Crayton boys were white trash they lived over on Parvis Creek
克雷顿兄弟是白垃圾 住在帕维斯溪边
They were a real snake and sneaky as a cat
他们阴险如蛇 狡诈似猫
And belligerent when they'd speak
言语间充满敌意
One night the oldest brother said ya'll meet in the Wooly Swamp later
某夜长兄提议 伍利沼泽碰头
We'll get old Lucias' money and we'll pitch him to the alligators
要夺老卢西亚斯的钱财 把他喂给鳄鱼
They found the old man out in the back with a shovel in his hand
发现老人时 他手握铁锹站在后院
And thirteen rusty Mason jars he just dug up out of the sand
他从沙地里挖出十三个生锈的梅森罐
And they all went crazy and they beat the old man
众人陷入疯狂 将老人痛殴倒地
Then they picked him up off the ground
他们将他从泥地上拽起
Then they threw him in the swamp and they stood there and laughed
抛入沼泽 站在岸边狞笑
Till the black water sucked him down
直到黑水将他彻底吞噬
Then they turned around and went back to the shack
转身回到破旧木屋
And they picked up the money and ran
抓起钱财夺路而逃
But they hadn't gone nowhere when they realized
未及远遁便猛然惊觉
They were running in quicksand
他们在流沙中奔逃
And they struggled and screamed but they couldn't get away
挣扎嘶喊却无法脱身
Then just before they were gone
就在即将沉没之际
They could hear that old man laughing
听见那老人洪亮的笑声
In a voice that was loud and strong
回荡在沼泽深处
Now that's been fifty years ago an' if you go back by there again
时隔五十年若重返旧地
There's a spot in the yard in back of that shack
木屋后的泥泞院落里
Where the ground is always wet
仍有一片永不干涸的湿土
And on certain nights if the moon is right
当特定夜晚月色正浓
And you're down by the dark footpath
你若行至幽暗小径旁
You can hear three young men screaming
会听见三个年轻人凄厉尖叫
And you can hear that old man laugh
还有那老者的森然笑声
If you ever go back into Wooly Swamp son you better not go at night
若重返伍利沼泽 切记莫在夜间前往
There's things out there in the middle of them woods
密林深处潜藏着
That'd make a strong man die from fright
连壮汉也会被吓得魂飞魄散
There's things that crawl and things that fly
有东西在爬行 有东西在飞翔
And things that creep around on the ground
还有东西在地面悄然蠕动
And they say the ghost of Lucias Clay gets up and it walks around
他们说卢西亚斯·克莱的鬼魂会起身游荡
But I couldn't believe it I just had to find out for myself
但我无法相信 必须亲自去探寻真相
And I couldn't conceive it I never would listen to nobody else
我难以想象 从不听信他人之言
No I couldn't believe it I just had to find out for myself
是的我无法相信 必须亲自去探寻真相
That there's some things in this world you just can't explain
这世上有些事就是无法解释
