West Of Rome - Vic Chesnutt

West Of Rome - Vic Chesnutt
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
West of rome just east of the border
罗马以西 边境之东
In a staticy ramada inn
在沙沙作响的拉马达旅馆中
Polishing his boots and pummeling his liver
擦亮皮靴 灌醉自己
Steeped in the dark isolation
沉浸在黑暗的孤寂里
Just what business does he have around here
他究竟为何在此徘徊
Credentials are wearing out with each little bit of cheer
每分欢愉都在消磨他的底气
Yes it's a bad scene we're convening
没错 我们正目睹一场悲剧
Brushing his teeth and milking his ulcer
刷着牙 忍受胃痛折磨
Preparing to waste another wily morning
准备虚度又一个狡黠的清晨
Stroking himself and them phoning up his sister
抚慰自己 然后拨通妹妹的电话
He tells her their life would make one whale of a movie
告诉她 他们的生活足以拍成一部震撼的电影
Yes a childhood full of dry goods and wet neglect
是啊 童年充斥着干瘪的物资与潮湿的忽视
And the father they now sponge off
还有如今他们依赖的父亲
They have no absorbing respect
他们毫无真挚的敬意
Yes he's a glad boy to have such a void
是啊 他是个快乐的男孩 拥有如此空洞
Yes he's a martyr crawling accross cobble stones
是啊 他是个殉道者 在鹅卵石上匍匐前行
From his cozy cottages just west of rome
在罗马西郊 他栖身于温馨小屋
Yes its a sad state for great suffering
这悲惨境遇令人扼腕叹息
