The Dry Cleaner from Des Moines (Live) - Joni Mitchell (琼尼·米契儿)
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I'm down to a roll of dimes
兜里只剩几枚硬币叮当响
I'm stalking the slot that's hot
徘徊在闪着红光的老虎机旁
I keep hearing bells all around me
四周中奖铃声此起彼伏
Jingling in the lucky jackpots
头彩的欢响在耳边荡漾
They keep you tantalized
它们撩拨着贪婪的神经
They keep you reaching for your wallet
让人忍不住摸向空荡的钱囊
Here in fools' paradise
在这愚人的天堂里痴狂
I talked to a cat from des moines
我跟得梅因来的老兄闲聊
He said he ran a cleaning plant
他说他经营着一家清洁公司
That cat was clanking with coin
那家伙兜里硬币叮当响
Well he must have had a genie in a lamp
准是灯神赐了他好运
'Cause every time I dropped a dime I blew it
每次我投币都血本无归
He kept ringing bells
他却不断中奖铃声响
Nothing to it
不费吹灰之力
He got three oranges
他转出了三个橙子
Three lemons
三个柠檬
Three cherries
三颗樱桃
Three plums
三枚李子
I'm losing my taste for fruit
我对水果图案已感到厌倦
Watching the dry cleaner do it
看着干洗店老板不断中奖
Like midas in a polyester suit
像穿着涤纶西装的迈达斯王
It's all luck
全凭运气
It's just luck
全凭运气
You get a little lucky and you make a little money
稍得幸运眷顾 便能小赚一笔
I followed him down the strip
我随他穿过长街
He picked out a booth at circus circus
他在马戏团赌场选了台老虎机
Where the cowgirls fill the room
牛仔女郎们挤满房间
With their big balloons
晃动着丰满胸脯
The cleaner was pitching with purpose
清洁工专注地投币
He had dinos and pooh bears
恐龙与维尼熊图案在轮盘闪烁
And lions pink and blue there
粉蓝狮子机前徘徊
He couldn't lose there
他自信不会败北
Des moines was stacking the chips
得梅因的清洁工堆起筹码
Raking off the tables
从赌桌横扫战利品
Ringing the bandit's bells
中奖铃声此起彼伏
This is a story that's a drag to tell
这故事说来实在苦涩
In some ways
某种程度上
Since I lost every dime
因我输得血本无归
I laid on the line
我押上了全部身家
But the cleaner from des moines
但那个来自得梅因的清洁工
Could put a coin
只需投下一枚硬币
In the door of a john
在厕所的门上
And get twenty for one
就能赢得二十倍回报
It's just luck
全凭运气
