It Sure Was Better Back Then - Steve Forbert
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Working on the Georgia Line the live long day
在乔治亚的铁路上工作一整天
Ninety nine degrees and only half past May
虽然才五月半，气温却高达九十九度
Nailing down the metal with the crosstime blues
用十字钉锤敲打着铁轨，心情忧郁
I had creosote all over my shoes
我的鞋上沾满了木馏油
I hated it you know now I find I miss it
当时我讨厌这种生活，现在却开始怀念
Every time my little pension check rolls in
每次收到养老金时都会想起
Course I had it bad not as bad as this is
虽然那时生活艰苦，但也没现在这么糟
It sure was better back then
那时的日子确实更好
Yeah It sure was better back then
那时的生活确实更美好
Working in the rain beneath surplus tarp
在雨中劳作，头顶着剩余的防水布
Foreman in the wagon twanging a sad Jews harp
工头坐在马车上，弹奏着悲伤的犹太竖琴
Passing out at night still in my mud caked jeans
晚上累得直接睡着，泥巴粘满了我的牛仔裤
I was living off of berries and beans
我靠浆果和豆子维持生计
I hated it you know now I swear I miss it
那时我厌恶这种生活，现在我发誓我怀念它
Every time I look down on my pale white skin
每当我低头看着自己苍白的皮肤
Course I had it bad not as bad as this is
虽然那时生活艰苦，但也没现在这么糟
It sure was better back then
那时的日子确实更好
It sure was better back then
那时的日子确实更好
Well the cable caught my leg and boy
电缆缠住了我的腿 天哪
The damn thing bled
那该死的伤口血流不止
Foreman sewed the muscle up with tarp patch thread
工头用帆布线缝好了我的肌肉
Sit me by the camp gonna have the cook clean pans
让我坐在营地边 让厨师清洗锅碗
And scrub them down with Georgia red sand
用乔治亚的红沙擦洗它们
I hated it you know now I really I miss it
我曾厌恶那段日子 如今却无比怀念
Staring in my TV till the broadcast ends
盯着电视直到节目结束
Course I had it bad not as bad as this is
虽然那时生活艰苦，但也没现在这么糟
It sure was better back then
那时的日子确实更好
It sure was better back then
那时的日子确实更好
It sure was better back then
那时的日子确实更好
It sure was better back then
那时的日子确实更好
