Getting By A Quarter At A Time - Chris Ledoux (克里斯-勒多克斯)
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
She's not a kid anymore she can hide her age
她已不再年轻，却能在昏暗灯光下隐藏岁月痕迹
In these dim lights
在这朦胧的光线中
Waitin' tables in this bar ain't what she's lookin' for
在这酒吧里端盘子并非她所追求的生活
The short years fly by but oh the long long
短暂的岁月飞逝，但漫长的夜晚却如此难熬
Nights
夜晚
A bar tends to make a woman hard
酒吧的生活让女人变得坚强
Read a story in the lines beneath her eyes
从她眼角的皱纹中读出了故事
As tips hit the table they jingle and they jangle
当小费落在桌上，叮当作响
Get her by a quarter at a time
每次赚到25美分，她就这样勉强维持生活
She's getting by a quarter at a time a diamond
她靠着每次赚到的25美分，像一颗失去光泽的钻石
In the rough has lost her shine
在粗糙中失去了她的光芒
Slingin' drinks at least will pay the rent again get
调酒至少能付得起房租，让她再次勉强维持生活
Her by a quarter at a time
每次赚到25美分，她就这样勉强维持生活
Another man stands up to leave she's always been left
又一个男人起身离开，她总是被抛在身后
Behind
被遗忘
The change she's waitin' for keeps walkin' out the door
她等待的改变总是从门口溜走
But her quarters are silver lined she's danced to everybody's
但她的25美分闪烁着银光，她随着每个人的节奏起舞
Tune
旋律
But gettin' stepped on don't make her cry
即使被踩踏，她也不会哭泣
But after work the jukebox brings a little tear drop
但下班后，点唱机让她的眼角泛起泪光
The memories cost a quarter at a time
回忆一次只需25美分
She's getting by a quarter at a time
她靠着25美分勉强维持生活
A diamond
一颗钻石
In the rough has lost her shine
在粗糙中失去了她的光芒
Slingin' drinks at least will pay the rent again get
调酒至少能付得起房租，让她再次勉强维持生活
Her by a quarter at a time
每次赚到25美分，她就这样勉强维持生活
She's getting by a quarter at a time
她靠着25美分勉强维持生活
