Chewing Gum - Elvis Costello

Chewing Gum - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
With their cardboard hands by their sides
他们像纸板人偶般垂着手臂
Here's a naked man and lady
赤裸的男女任你摆布
And they're yours to cut out and keep
供你剪裁收藏
So you can dress them up maybe
或许还能为他们装扮衣裳
They don't know just who they are or who they're
他们不知自己是谁
Supposed to be
也不懂该成为怎样的人
You can make them happy or sad
你能随意操控悲喜
Or assume their identity
甚至取代他们的灵魂
So here they are in the departure lounge
他们此刻在候机大厅相对无言
It's the gateway to the east
这是通往东方的门户
She is just another mail order bride
她不过是又一个邮购新娘
She doesn't know he's a kinky beast
不知枕边人藏着扭曲兽性
So he gives her a picture of maradona and child
他递来马拉多纳与孩童的合影
She wants to roll and rock
她却渴望纵情摇摆
As he spills his beer over her bumps and he
当啤酒泼洒在她起伏的曲线
Grinds as he repeats bang cock
他机械重复着粗暴的动作
There must be something that is better than this
总该有比这更好的生活方式
It starts with a slap and ends up with a kiss
从掌掴开始 以亲吻告终
Begins with you bawling and it ends up in tears
始于你的哭喊 终于泪水涟涟
Oh my little one take that chewing gum out of
亲爱的 快把那些闲言碎语
Your ears
从耳边清除
She might as well be in the jungle
她仿佛置身丛林般迷茫
She might as well be on the moon
又似在月球般孤独无依
He's away on a business trip in Dusseldorf but
他出差去了杜塞尔多夫
She's becoming immune
而她已渐渐麻木
To the lack of glamor and danger in a west
在这座西德城市里
German city today
感受不到丝毫魅力与危险
The nearest she comes to the dynasty he
他曾经许诺的豪门生活
Promised her
如今只剩
Is a Chinese takeaway
一份中式外卖
There must be something that is better than this
总该有比这更好的生活方式
It starts with a slap and ends up with a kiss
从掌掴开始 以亲吻告终
Begins with you bawling and it ends up in tears
始于你的哭喊 终于泪水涟涟
Oh my little one take that chewing gum out of
亲爱的 快把那些闲言碎语
Your ears
从耳边清除
Though he only taught her three little words it
虽然他只教会她三个简单的词
Doesn't matter if they're dirty or clean
无论它们是肮脏还是纯洁
He can only control what they look like
他只能控制表面的模样
He can never possess what they mean
他永远无法触及她们的真意
Now he wants to whisper in her ear
此刻他想在她耳边低语
All the shrinking nothingness
那些日渐消逝的虚无
But something always comes between them
但总有隔阂横亘其间
I wonder if you can guess
不知你是否能猜到
There must be something that is better than this
总该有比这更好的生活方式
It starts with a slap and ends up with a kiss
从掌掴开始 以亲吻告终
Begins with you bawling and it ends up in tears
始于你的哭喊 终于泪水涟涟
Oh my little one take that chewing gum out of
亲爱的 快把那些闲言碎语
Your ears
从耳边清除
