This Town Gets Around - Margo Price

This Town Gets Around - Margo Price
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
In this town everybody's trying to get a piece of everybody else
在这座城里 人人都想从彼此身上分一杯羹
It gets hard to tell a real friend from a fake one
真假朋友难辨 让人心力交瘁
So many promises favors and lies
满口承诺恩惠 实则谎言遍地
Most of the town wears a good disguise
城中众人 都戴着完美面具
And even I too have been known to wear one
就连我也未能免俗 曾戴上面具伪装
As the saying goes it's not who you know
俗话说得好 关键不在于你认识谁
But it's who you blow that'll get you in the show
而在于你讨好谁才能登上舞台
And if that's not the case I hear you pay 'em
若传闻不假 听说你花钱收买人心
But I don't come easy and I'm flat broke
但我从不轻易妥协 如今身无分文
So I guess it's me who gets the joke
看来被当笑话的终究是我
Maybe I'd be smarter if I played dumb
或许装傻充愣才更聪明
I can't count all the times I've been had
数不清多少次被欺骗辜负
Now I know much better than to let that make me mad
如今我已学会不让愤怒占据心头
I don't let none of that get me down
绝不为此意志消沉
From what I've found this town gets around
这个圈子的肮脏我早已看透
Now the very first manager I ever had
记得最初那位经纪人
He was old enough he could have been my dad
年纪大得足以当我父亲
He took me out for drinks and talked a big talk
他带我喝酒夸下海口
He said darling sign on the dotted line
说着"宝贝签下这份合约"
You know kiss my cheek and drink this wine
"亲亲我脸颊 喝掉这杯酒"
But if you walk on me then you can just walk
"但若背叛我 就请滚着走"
I can't count all the times I've been had
数不清多少次被欺骗辜负
Now I know much better than to let that make me mad
如今我已学会不让愤怒占据心头
I don't let none of that get me down
绝不为此意志消沉
From what I've found this town gets around
这个圈子的肮脏我早已看透
When I first came here the streets were paved with gold
初来乍到时听说遍地黄金
And you can walk that road I've been told
人人都说那条路值得追寻
But I won't put out or be controlled
但我拒绝出卖自己任人摆布
I don't write the sh*t that gets bought and sold
绝不创作那些违心的作品
Ask any man
随便问问谁
He might know
或许他会知道
Who used to live on music row
谁曾在音乐街闯荡
But that was then and this is now
但往事如烟 今非昔比
He told me this town gets around
他说这城里流言四起
From what I've found this town gets around
这个圈子的肮脏我早已看透
