The Hennepin Avenue Bridge - Brian Setzer
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Father Hennepin went down to Bennigan's
亨尼平神父走进本尼根酒馆
To discuss the construction of the Hennepin bridge
商讨亨尼平大桥的建造方案
He had time to kill down by the flour mill
他在磨坊旁消磨时光
So he planned a picnic lunch on St Anthony main
计划在圣安东尼主街野餐
Now father Hennepin he was notorious
这位亨尼平神父声名远扬
And he liked a little drunk down at Nye's Polanaise
总爱在奈波兰酒馆小酌几杯
His explorations were more than glorious
他的探险事迹辉煌壮丽
So they planned to build a bridge
于是人们决定建桥纪念
That would feature his name
这座桥将以他的名字命名
Well first niagara and then St Antony's
先是尼亚加拉 然后是圣安东尼瀑布
Were discovered by the fella with the Hennepin name
都由这位名叫亨尼平的神父发现
But when the lock was filled on the lower falls
当下游瀑布的水闸注满时
Everyone was shoppin' on the Nicollet mall
人们都在尼科莱特购物中心闲逛
And when the rope was cut on the Hennepin
当亨尼平桥的彩带被剪断时
Father Louis had a most unusual plan
路易神父做出了最不寻常的决定
He would take a dip in the Mississippi
他纵身跃入密西西比河
He would dive from the centre and swim to the dam
从桥心直坠 游向水坝方向
When the time had come and he took the plunge
当那一刻来临 他毅然投身激流
Everybody screamed my god what has he done
众人惊呼 天啊他做了什么
And though he tried to swim the current carried him
尽管奋力挣扎 湍流仍裹挟着他
Closer and closer to the brink of the falls
越来越近 逼近瀑布悬崖
The people lined the banks of the Mississippi
人群沿密西西比河岸列队
To watch father Hennepin go over the edge
目送亨内平神父坠入深渊
The people there that day they all swear they say
那天的见证者们都信誓旦旦地说
Father Hennepin was laughin' as he fell to his death
Hennepin神父坠落时 脸上还带着笑容
