Old man on a barstool watching TV
坐在吧凳上看电视的老人站起来
Got up and came over to sit closer to me
走过来坐到了我身边
He said You look familiar to someone I knew
他说 你长得很像一个我认识的人
But when were your age we were older than you
但在我们像你这么大时 我们比你看起来老
Jimmy was twenty and I seventeen
那时Jimmy20岁 我17岁
And to us there was nothing but girls and machines
我们的世界里只有姑娘和赌博机
Jimmy got married and I went to war
Jimmy结婚了 我上了战场
I still don't know what we were doing it for
我依旧不明白我们为何要那样
But if you'll buy me a drink--turkey on ice
如果你为我买一杯加冰的土耳其白酒
Then I could give you some advice
我就会给你一些建议
You just stay in the bar
尽你所能地
For as long as you can
泡在酒吧里吧
As long as you're drinking
只要你能喝酒
Then you've got the world in your hand
你就拥有全世界
There's no shame in hanging your world by a string
浑浑噩噩过日子没什么好羞愧的
And you know there's no harm in not thinking a thing
什么都不去想也没什么不好
But trying to find a place for yourself in this world
但努力在世上找到容身之地
Is like trying to make a wife of an American girl
就像是努力娶个美国姑娘
If you'll trade me a drink for a story or two
如果你用酒和我交换一两个故事
Then you'll know what you need to do
你就会知道你需要做什么
You just stay in the bar
尽你所能地
For as long as you can
泡在酒吧里吧
You know love is for sissies
娘娘腔才会谈恋爱
It's whiskey that makes you a man
威士忌才会让你有阳刚之气
Now the old man got up and stumbled out in the street
现在那位老人起身 颤颤巍巍地走到了街上
He'd been drinking all day and left his bar tab with me
他喝了一整天 把账单留给了我
I didn't have the money to cover his bill
我付不起他的账单
But I found me a man who looked like me younger still
但我发现了一个长得像我 却我比年轻的人
And said Buy me a drink and I'll tell you a tale
我说 为我买杯酒 我就给你讲
About the old man who taught me so well
那个老人教给我的故事
You just stay in the bar
尽你所能地
For as long as you can
泡在酒吧里吧
Hell I know you're a friend
我知道你很友好
I can tell by the shakes in your hand
从你握手的方式我就能知道
You just stay in the bar
只要你敢
For as long as you dare
就泡在酒吧里吧
As long as you're tipping
只要你敢喝酒
Then you've got a good friend somewhere
你就会得到一位好友
