Bastard Landlord - The Pogues

Bastard Landlord - The Pogues
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Oh Lord won't you tell me I'm sure I don't know

Who makes the plans that change our lives so
是谁在制定改变我们生活的计划
From a place in the country so peaceful and calm
从宁静祥和的乡间故土
We moved up to London as the bombs fell around
我们搬往伦敦时 炮弹正四处坠落
To a house by the river where the rent it was cheap
住进河畔这栋租金低廉的房屋
The Landlord he told us Its yours to keep'
房东曾许诺说"这永远会是你们的家"
For regular payment week after week
只要每周按时缴纳租金
You'll always have a roof under which you can sleep
你们就永远有遮风避雨的屋檐
The years past by the war came to an end
岁月流逝 战争终于落幕
We lived out our lives did nothing to offend
我们安分度日 从未招惹是非
But the Landlord's conditions yearly they grew
可房东的胃口 年复一年膨胀
With the size of his gut and his housing values
随着他发福的肚腩 和房价一起疯涨
He'd kneel on a Sunday and pray to the Lord
他会在周日跪地 向主虔诚祷告
For the deals of love his world cannot afford
祈求这冷漠世间 负担不起的仁爱
When the Bastard he came round to put up our rent
当那混账前来 又要加收房租
We swallowed our pride and we smiled our best
我们忍气吞声 挤出最卑微的笑
Bricks and mortar Kingdom of Stone
砖石筑就 冰冷王国
Where do you go when you're all alone
孤独时分 你将何去何从
They'll carve your name where you lie
他们会在你长眠处刻下姓名
And I for one no tears will cry
而我 绝不会为此落泪
Greed knows no boundaries greed doesn't feel
贪婪无度 毫无怜悯
I'm damned if I'll die for a profiting deal
我宁死也不为利益折腰
The woman next door she just passed away
隔壁妇人刚刚离世
'Cause the rent got so high that she just couldn't pay
只因房租高涨 她无力承担
And there in the bed she closed up her eyes
她躺在床上 缓缓合上双眼
The last time she gazed on this world of lies
最后一次凝视这谎言编织的世界
With nowhere to go and nothing to say
无处可去 也无言以对
She went to the next world and the Bastard he smiled
她走向彼岸 而那混蛋却在狞笑
Bricks and mortar Kingdom of Stone
砖石筑就 冰冷王国
Where do you go when you're all alone
孤独时分 你将何去何从
They'll carve your name where you lie
他们会在你长眠处刻下姓名
And I for one no tears will cry
而我 绝不会为此落泪
Oh Lord won't you tell me I'm sure I don't know
主啊 请告诉我 我实在不明白
What makes some people so callous and cold
为何有些人如此冷酷无情
I've lived in this house for forty four years
我在这房子里住了四十四年
My children were born here it's here I'll grow old
孩子们在这里出生 我也将在此终老
A curse on you Bastard Landlord be damned
诅咒你这该死的房东下地狱
Who needs one more house like a
谁还需要再多一套这样的房子
Beach needs more sand
沙滩需要更多沙砾
I'll stay here till I'm done only nobody knows
我会守在这里直到终结 只是无人知晓
How God can let one man treat others so
上帝为何容许一人如此践踏众生
