East Indian Princess(Album Version) - Loudon Wainwright， III

East Indian princess lives in a western dream
印度公主栖居于西方梦境
Happy like a child her mother is a queen
宛若孩童般欢愉，她的母亲是女王
You know she's safe as a cow on a Calcutta street
你可知她安稳如加尔各答街头的牛
This English way of life has got that other life beat
这英式生活已彻底击败了过往
And reading magazines she sits in straight backed chairs
她坐在直背椅上翻阅杂志
She's got a common welfare she's got a queen that cares
她享有基本福利，更有女王的关怀
She's got meat on her bones she doesn't starve at least
她衣食无忧，至少不曾挨饿受饥
Not like the folks back home not like the folks back east
不似故乡亲人，不似东方旧邻
But Yeah this Indian is English no matter how she tries
可无论她如何努力 这个印度姑娘终究带着英伦印记
You know the sari and the sandals it's just a bad disguise
你看那纱丽和凉鞋 不过是蹩脚的乔装
She got a mark on her forehead she got a stud in her nose
她额间点着吉祥痣 鼻翼戴着银环钉
Yeah but this Indian is English and I'm afraid it shows
这印度姑娘的英伦气质 恐怕已无处隐藏
'Cause you can see her at Wimpey's and on a movie queue line
你总能在快餐店遇见她 或是影院排队长龙里
Her river's not the Ganges it is the serpentine
她心中的圣河不是恒河 而是蜿蜒的蛇形湖
She got the western princess she got the western pain
她有着西方公主的骄傲 也带着西方世界的烦恼
She got the western mind that girl has gone insane
她完全西化的思维 那姑娘已近乎疯狂
