Steamboat Whistle Blues - John Hartford
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Well I started out to be a towboat man
我曾立志要当一名拖船工人
But I never got the hang of a ratchet bar
却始终学不会棘轮扳手的诀窍
I was a-growin up a-deckin in the
在伊利诺伊州运煤的岁月里成长
Illinois trade with coal dust in my ear
煤灰总是扑满我的耳廓
I got stuck in the ice on Christmas Eve
圣诞前夜我被困在冰层中
And I froze my a** it's true
冻僵的臀部作证这段真实遭遇
Just a shiv'rin and a-shakin
浑身颤抖不停哆嗦
With a Down South case of them
像南方人染了北方的寒症
Steamboat whistle blues
蒸汽船汽笛蓝调
Oh Captain Way I'm sorry my hat is off to you
韦船长啊 我向您致敬致歉
You've been a-hanging out by the old cook stove
您总在旧炉灶旁徘徊
With the steamboat whistle blues
伴着那蒸汽船的忧郁汽笛
Well way up North I called your phone
北方凛冽 我拨通电话
But I didn't get no one to answer
却无人应答
So I opened up the window and I smoked a little bit
推开窗扉 吞吐烟圈
And I watched the cars go by
看车流穿梭如常
I'm gonna hunt you up and ask you
我要找到你当面询问
If you found out anything new
可有什么新发现
Or are you a-hangin to the best you had
还是守着往昔荣光
With the steamboat whistle blues
伴着那蒸汽船的忧郁汽笛
I've been right here since nine o'clock
九点起就守在此处
And believe you me that's true
千真万确不虚言
Just a-lookin at the water ways churning
望着水道翻涌不息
With the steamboat whistle blues
伴着那蒸汽船的忧郁汽笛
Well the city's growing up where it looks all square
城市在方方正正地拔地而起
Like a crossword puzzle on the landscape
像风景画上的填字游戏
It looks like an electric shaver now
如今它像电动剃须刀般光鲜
Where the courthouse used to be
取代了曾经的法院旧址
The grass is all synthetic
草坪全是人造的假绿
And we don't know for sure about the food
我们对食物也充满疑虑
The only thing we know for sure is them
唯一确定的是那永恒的
Steamboat whistle blues
蒸汽船汽笛蓝调
I'd sit and watch my TV
我会坐下来看电视
If I thought I could trust the news
如果新闻还能让我相信
About the only thing I trust these days
如今唯一能信任的
Is them steamboat whistle blues
只有那蒸汽船汽笛蓝调
Well "far out" Johnny well I heard him say
“太酷了”约翰尼躺着说
As he stretched out back on the water bed
他伸展在水床上
Bluegrass music is a thing of the past
蓝草音乐已成往事
And the same for rock and roll
摇滚乐也随风而逝
And I loaned him two or three dollars
我借给他两三块钱
And he gave me the latest news
他告诉我最新消息
And he left me here with a Rolling Stone
留我独自守着滚石杂志
And the steamboat whistle blues
伴着蒸汽船汽笛蓝调
I'll tear off down the river some day before I'm through
终有一天我要沿河疾驰而去
Then come back here and see it out
再回到这里细细品味
With the steamboat whistle blues
伴着那蒸汽船的忧郁汽笛
