One hot night in the middle of June
六月仲夏的炎热夜晚
In a Lousiana Bayou by the light of the moon
路易斯安那沼泽地 月光如水漫
By the bank of a river on an old dead log
河岸边朽木横陈处
Sat a shiny black scorpion and a big green frog
蹲着黑亮蝎子与碧绿青蛙相顾
Now the water was deep and the river was wide
河水深深河道宽
And the Scorpion had commitments on the opposite side
蝎子说对岸有约不能耽
She said hey Mr Froggy Id be mighty obliged
青蛙先生求您行方便
If I could hop on your back and
可否让我爬上您的背
You could give me a ride
能否载我一程
Shoulda known
早该明白
Shoulda known
早该明白
Well my friends oh see me crying
朋友们见我泪流满面
And all they can say is shoulda known
他们只会说早该明白
Frog said Id love to but theres just one thing
青蛙说我很乐意但有件事
You got a bad reputation for a terrible sting
你恶名昭著会蜇人
If I take you 'cross the River like you're askin me to
若我载你过河如你所愿
How do I know you won't sting me
我怎知你不会伤害我
When the journey is through
当这趟旅程结束之后
The scorpion said 'man don't believe
蝎子说道"伙计别相信
The hype don't you fall for that tired old stereotype'
那些陈词滥调 别落入老套的刻板印象"
If you do me this favor and deliver me there
若你愿行个方便载我一程
I will tell you a little secret only scorpions share
我将告诉你一个蝎子间的秘密

But all they can say is

So our friends started out across the perilous flood
于是我们启程穿越汹涌的洪流
And the scorpion weighed more than the frog thought she would
蝎子的重量超出青蛙的预期
But the froggy was strong and he knew hed prevail
但青蛙很坚强 相信自己能成功
'Til he felt the deadly point of that scorpions tail
直到感受到蝎尾致命的刺痛
Oh oh oh no

So the water swept over the unfortunate pair
河水无情吞噬这对不幸的伴侣
And the froggy cried out with the last of his air
青蛙用最后的气息发出悲鸣
He said 'why did you do it now you're goin down too'
"为何要害我 如今你也难逃厄运"
Said the Scorpion 'its my nature thats what scorpions do'
蝎子答道："此乃天性 蝎子本性如此"

Well I met her downtown in a bleecker street bar
我在布利克街的酒吧遇见她
Serenading some drunks for the tips in a jar
为醉汉们唱着歌 赚取小费罐里的硬币
Well I knew her reputation from the old grapevine
早听闻过她的名声
But she sounded so sweet and she looked so fine
但她的歌声如此甜美 模样又这般动人
Well she shot me a smile and she bought me a beer
她对我嫣然一笑 请我喝了杯啤酒
And she told the saddest story that you ever will hear
讲述着你听过最悲伤的故事
My judgement dissolved in a bottle wine
我的理智消融在红酒里
I was reading her lips and she was reading my mind
我读着她的唇语 她看透我的心意
