The Dying Truck Driver - Ry Cooder (雷·库德)
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Well we made our way up 99 in the springtime of the year
那年春日我们沿着99号公路前行
The San Joaquin was all in bloom and songbirds everywhere
圣华金河谷繁花盛开 处处可闻鸟鸣
We chanced upon a workingman lying by the road
偶然遇见一位劳动者倒在路旁
I judged him for a truck driver by the clothes he wore
从他衣着判断应是卡车司机模样
We drew some nearer to him then inquirin' of his name
我们上前询问他的姓名
Well here's three little angels come down for to carry me home
他说"三位天使降临 要带我魂归故里"
Then bear me up to Jesus now my Savior I shall see
"请引我去见耶稣 得见救主圣颜"
You ain't no regular angels boys but that's alright by me
"虽非真天使降临 孩子 我亦心满意足"
Then Lefty stepping forward addressed the dyin' man
莱夫蒂上前一步 对垂死之人说道
Saying We're no angels brother but we'll do all we can
我们并非天使 兄弟 但会竭尽所能
What cowards set upon you sir and dealt the fatal blow
是哪个懦夫偷袭了你 先生 给了致命一击
We'll pull out every workingman from here to Ohio
我们要唤醒从这儿到俄亥俄的每个劳工
It was no vigilante gang nor ranch-boss thugs this time
这次不是治安队 也不是牧场打手
But the meatloaf special dinner I had on Highway 99
是99号公路上的肉饼套餐害了我
A comely waitress served me there and she cooled me with her fan
漂亮女招待为我服务 用扇子为我扇风
But fatal meatloaf has struck down this old truck drivin' man
要命的肉饼击倒了这个老卡车司机
Then Lefty reached down in his bag saying You ain't dyin' friend
莱夫蒂从包里掏出酒瓶 说 朋友你还死不了
Just take a drink of whiskey now you'll feel alright again
喝口威士忌吧 马上就会好起来
All through the night we lingered there and passed that bottle round
整夜我们围坐传递酒瓶 陪他度过漫漫长夜
We hauled aboard at sunrise lit out for Frisco town
黎明时分我们启程 驶向旧金山的方向
Now the workingman must be we'll warned whenever headlines scream
劳动者们要时刻警惕 当头条新闻开始叫嚣
Your rights must yield the bombs must fall to save democracy
为民主牺牲权利 为自由承受炮火
The flag they fly their stew of lies served up at votin' time
他们挥舞旗帜 在选举季端出谎言的浓汤
Like poison under the gravy on Highway 99
就像99号公路旁 肉汁下暗藏的毒药
