Salt Lake City 1973 - Shawn Mullins
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Mormon's are everwhere
摩门教徒无处不在
Battalions of bicycling bachelors
成群结队的单身汉骑着自行车
With dark suits
身着深色西装
And well cropped hair
头发修剪得一丝不苟
We're mormons too
我们也是摩门教徒
Have been since '72
自1972年起便是
I'm riding between my brother and sister
我坐在哥哥和姐姐中间
In the back seat of a '67 buick station wagon
在一辆1967年的别克旅行车后座
With red vinyl seats
红色乙烯座椅上
We stick by each other
我们紧紧依偎
And to those seats
那些座椅见证着
We've been eating cheese and bacon sandwiches
连续十三天八月酷暑里
Our mother made for thirteen days straight in the august heat
吃着母亲做的奶酪培根三明治
And both my siblings are wakin' on those eggshells
兄姐如履薄冰的模样
As i will soon learn how to do myself
很快我也会学会这般小心翼翼
They play their quiet silly games
他们玩着安静又幼稚的游戏
With their peashooters
他们拿着豌豆枪嬉戏
As i sip luke-warm sprite from a tin can
我啜饮着铁罐里温吞的雪碧
Sold to me by a hunchback silly bastard old woman
驼背的疯老太卖给我的
A hundred miles back
百英里前的事
Who is probably the only person with good sense
她大概是这乡野之地
In this part of the country
唯一清醒的人
I still don't know what to do god-awful bacon and cheese sandwich
我仍不知如何面对这难以下咽的培根奶酪三明治
But your body is your temple
但你的身体是神圣殿堂
God tells us so
上帝如此告诫我们
So drink up your milk
所以喝完你的牛奶
And reap what you sow
种瓜得瓜 种豆得豆
I mold the cheese and bacon sandwich into a ball in my hand
我把奶酪培根三明治揉成团握在手心
It kind of reminds me of play-dough
它让我想起童年橡皮泥
I look around to see who is watchin'
我环顾四周看有谁在注意
And stuff it between the red vinyl seats
偷偷把它塞进红色乙烯基座椅缝隙
No one will find it
没人会发现
At least not for a couple of weeks
至少几周内不会
We're in this big place now
我们现在在这个大地方
It's kind of like 1/2 of an blue plastic easter egg shell
有点像半个蓝色塑料复活节彩蛋壳
And there's a hole in the top
顶部有个洞
Where the sun cuts through
阳光从那里透进来
And lights up the room
照亮了整个房间
And i hear all these male voices
我听到所有这些男人的声音
Telling me that black people are inferior
告诉我黑人天生低人一等
And it's ok to have more than one wife
还说多妻制无可厚非
And as the dry dry breath of the utah sun warms me
犹他州灼热的旱风炙烤着我
I stand before a statue of jesus that is far too big
我站在过于庞大的耶稣像前
And has held these folks hostage for so so long
看着它长久禁锢着这群人
And i gaze up at the nostrils of the sandstone savior
仰望着砂岩救世主的鼻孔
And wonder if it
不禁怀疑它是否
Can smell all this bullshit
能嗅出这满口荒唐
Cause i sure can
因为我确实记得
And i'm only 5 years old
那年我只有五岁
In salt lake city
在盐湖城里
In 1973
那是1973年
