Somewhere Over China (Album Version) - Jimmy Buffett
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Just a semi-normal person
不过是个寻常人儿
Thought he had the future planned
原以为未来尽在掌握
Then he won some silly sweepstakes
直到中了荒唐大奖
Now he had a hundred grand
转眼手握十万巨款
Never stopped to think of taxes
哪还顾得上算计税款
He was gone before they knew
趁人不备便远走高飞
With a flair for ol' romantics
怀着老派浪漫情怀
To the Orient he flew
直向东方展翅飞去
When they fueled in Papeete
当他们在帕皮提加满油
Placed a call to Big Mamou
给大马穆打去电话
With an honest explanation
带着坦诚的解释
Just to tell the whole damn truth
只为说出全部真相
It's his one chance in a million
这是他百万分之一的机会
Who'd deny the simple fact
谁能否认这简单事实
'Twas no use to talk it over
再多讨论也无济于事
He'd be home when he got back
等他回来时自会归家
Chorus:
副歌：
Now he's somewhere over China
此刻他正翱翔在中国上空
Lookin' down on all the trails
俯瞰着蜿蜒的山径
On the mountains lookin' back at him
群山回望着他的身影
It's a real live fairy tale
这真是个活生生的童话
Put a little distance
在因果之间
Between causes and effects
留出些许距离
Like a day old fortune cookie
就像隔夜的幸运签语饼
Askin' who or what comes next
追问下一个会是谁或什么
What the hell did Marco Polo think
马可波罗当时究竟怎么想
When he ran into the wall
当他撞上那道高墙
Or the crazy Flying Tigers
或是那些疯狂的飞虎队员
Doin' spins and loops and stalls
做着旋转俯冲与失速
Just a taste for somethin' different
只为尝鲜不同的滋味
Perking up a borin' day
点亮枯燥乏味的一天
Now our man from Louisiana
这位来自路易斯安那的老兄
Feels exactly the same way
此刻也怀着同样的心情
Chorus:
副歌：
They're all somewhere over China
他们都飞越在中国的某处
Shanghai or old Peking
上海或是古老的北平
On a plane or a boat in an envelope
乘飞机坐船或藏身信封
Real adventure has its ring
真正的冒险自会发声
Just to put a little distance
只为拉开些许距离
Between fact and fantasy
在现实与幻想之间徘徊
Still six thousand miles away from
仍距理想之地六千里之遥
Where I'd really rather be
那才是我心之所向
How I would love to drive the shuttle
多想驾驶航天飞机
Just to feel the engines roar
只为感受引擎轰鸣
And to operate the levers
亲手操纵那些控制杆
That control the payload doors
掌控着舱门的开合
I could buzz the Himalayas
我愿飞越喜马拉雅之巅
Barrel roll above Hong Kong
翻滚飞跃香港上空
Set her down in San Francisco
降落在旧金山街头
To the clangin' of a gong
伴着铜锣铿锵声响
Chorus:
副歌：
We're all somewhere over China
我们都在中国某处翱翔
Headin' east or headin' west
或向东行 或往西去
Takin' time to live a little
偷得浮生半日闲
Flyin' so far from the nest
远离故巢万里遥
Just to put a little distance
只为拉开些许距离
Between causes and effects
留出些许距离
Like an ancient fortune teller
如古老的占卜师
Knowin' who and what comes next
预知何人何事将至
