Written by：Jimmy Buffett

Disembarking at duvalier airport
降落在杜瓦利埃机场
Seeking transportation to town
寻找前往城镇的交通
As the purple ink dried on his passport
护照上紫色墨迹未干
He could still feel the eyes look around
仍能感受到四周窥探的目光
Messieur ou y est casino
先生 赌场在哪里
Spoke to the cabbie and smiled
对司机说话时面带微笑
Driver replied vieux ou noveaux
司机回答 老地方还是新地方
As he motioned the dark man inside
他示意那位黑人男子上车
Business in aruba concluded
阿鲁巴岛的商务告一段落
He now had a little money to spend
如今他手头有了闲钱可挥霍
That's how I came to meet my african friend
就这样结识了我的非洲老友
We were rolling the bones several hours
我们掷骰子消磨了数小时光
Conversing as most gamblers do
像所有赌徒那样攀谈
We were calling on all of our powers
各自施展浑身解数
Hopin' to see the night through
期盼能熬过这漫漫长夜
But not approving at all of our winnings
却对赢来的筹码毫无欣喜
Pit boss he tugged at his sleeve
赌场经理轻扯他的衣袖
Through the whole thing my new friend was grinning
整晚我的新朋友都咧嘴笑着
When he motioned it's time we should leave
当他示意我们该离开时
With our night at the tables behind us
赌桌旁的夜晚已成过往
We were ready just to do it again
我们却已准备好再来一局
That's when I came to know my african friend
就在那时我真正认识了这位非洲友人
But I woke up on the steps of a whorehouse
但我在妓院台阶上醒来
Soldier told me I'd better leave
士兵告诫我最好离开
As I stumbled to find me a taxi
当我踉跄着寻找出租车
I saw a note pinned to my sleeve
发现袖口别着一张字条
It was a pleasure and a hell of an evenin'
写着"这夜晚尽兴又疯狂"
Truly was our night to win
本是我们狂欢的良宵
But the authorities insist on my leaving
但当局坚持要我离开
Take care my american friend
保重啊 我的美国老友
With my weekend at haiti concluded
我的海地周末就此落幕
I now had a little money to spend
此刻我手头有些闲钱可花
That's when I came to meet my african friend
就在那时我遇见了非洲老友
That's how I came to know another good friend
就这样我又结识一位挚友
