You gentlemen can gawk while I'm scrubbing the floors
先生们尽可驻足观望 当我擦拭地板时
And I'm scrubbing the floors while you're gawking
你们凝视之际 我正俯身清理尘垢
And maybe once you tipped me and it made you fell swell
或许曾施舍小费 令你自觉高尚仁慈
In this ratty waterfront in this ratty hotel
在这破败码头旁 这肮脏旅店里
But you never know to whom you're talking
但你永远不识眼前之人真面目
You never guess to whom you're talking
你永远猜不透对话的是何方神圣
Suddenly one night there's a scream in the night
直到某个深夜 尖叫划破黑暗
And a yell what the hell is that din
怒吼回荡 那喧嚣究竟为何
And you see me kind of grinning while I'm scrubbing
你看见我擦洗时嘴角挂着神秘笑意
And you'll say what's she got to grin
你会问这笑容藏着什么秘密
And the ship the black freighter
那艘挂着骷髅旗的黑色货船
With the skull at the masthead
桅杆顶端白骨森森
Sails into the bay
正缓缓驶入港湾
Then you gentlemen can say hey girl scrub the floors
那时你们还会命令我擦地板
Make the beds get up the stairs earn you keep here
铺床单 跑上跑下换取生存
And you pass out the tips as you look out at the ships
你们抛着赏钱 目光却黏在船影
But I'm counting up heads as I'm making up beds
我整理床铺时 清点着人头
Cause tonight none of you will sleep here
因为今晚你们谁也别想睡这儿
Tonight none of you will sleep here
今晚你们谁也别想睡这儿
Then on that night there's a banging in the night
那夜传来猛烈的砸门声
And you yell what the hell is that row
你怒吼着"这该死的动静是什么"
And you see me kind of staring out the window
却看见我怔怔望向窗外
And you'll say what she got to stare at now
你嘀咕"她现在又有什么好看的"
And the ship the black freighter
那艘挂着骷髅旗的黑色货船
With fifty long cannons
五十门长炮列阵待发
Opens fire on the town
向小镇倾泻炮火轰鸣
Then you gentlemen can wipe all the grins off your face
先生们此刻该收起你们轻蔑的笑容
Every building in the town is a flat one
镇上的建筑都将化为废墟
The whole stinking place will be down to the ground
整个肮脏之地终将夷为平地
Only this cheap hotel will be standing safe and sound
唯独这座廉价旅馆安然矗立
And you say why do they spare that one
你问为何独留此处幸免
You say why do they spare that one
你追问为何独留此处幸免
Then all night through with a noise and to do
整夜喧嚣不停歇
You'll wonder who's the person lives up there
你会好奇楼上住着谁
And you see me stepping out into the morning
看我迎着晨光款款走出
Looking nice with a ribbon in my hair
发间丝带摇曳生姿
And the ship the black freighter
那艘挂着骷髅旗的黑色货船
Runs a flag up her masthead
桅杆升起旗帜
And cheer rings the air
欢呼声响彻云霄
Then just before noon they'll be hundreds of men
正午前将有数百壮汉
Coming up off that ghostly freighter
从幽灵货船悄然现身
And they're moving in the shadows where no one can see
他们在无人察觉的阴影中穿行
And they're chaining up the people and they're bringing them to me
他们将人们锁链加身 押解到我面前
Asking me kill them now or later
询问我是立即处决还是暂缓
Asking me kill them now or later
询问我是立即处决还是暂缓
Noon on the clock and so still on the dock
正午时分 码头依旧死寂
You could hear a foghorn miles away
数英里外雾角声依稀可闻
In the quiet of death I'll say kill them now
在这死寂中 我下令立即处决
And they'll pile up the bodies and I'll say hoopla
他们将尸体堆成山 而我只会欢呼雀跃
And the ship the black freighter
那艘挂着骷髅旗的黑色货船
Sails away out to sea
正扬帆驶向远海
And on it is me
而我就在船上
