Work Song (Album Version) - Nellie McKay
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Deliver the paper deliver the porn
递送报纸 传递欲望
Deliver the baker deliver the morn
运送面包 迎来黎明
A quiverin' jibberin' shiverin' mass
颤抖着 结巴着 瑟缩的人群
Of sunshine and good times that I have to pass
阳光与欢乐 与我擦肩而过
On the way to my job on the way to my work
奔赴工作岗位的路上
On the way to that slobberin' hoverin' jerk
去见那个流着口水 趾高气扬的混蛋
Who's my boss today
他今天是我的老板
Who's my boss to stay
谁能命令我长眠于此
Who's my supervisor when I'm in my grave
当我入土为安 谁还能对我呼来喝去
A slave on the run still under the gun
亡命之徒仍在枪口下苟且偷生
Of Attila the Hun with a cinnamon bun
如同暴君手捧肉桂卷的奴隶
I don't know son was there somethin' I missed
孩子啊 我是否错过了什么
I don't think Fritz Lang was a fantasist
弗里茨·朗绝非空想家
Metropolis exists is this
这分明就是现实版的大都会
If you listen close you can hear the piss
侧耳倾听 便能听见屈辱的声响
[chorus]

Every day's another loss
日复一日 徒增失落
Need the pay so please the boss
为求生计 唯命是从
Through the sludge they mingle by the mile
泥泞中跋涉千里之遥
Every worker looks ahead
每个工人都眺望前方
Ah the kiddies must be fed
嗷 孩子们还等着吃饭
So they trudge along in single file
只得排成长队艰难前行
Joo ming boohaaooo

And you turn and you toil
你转身 你劳碌
And you burn and you boil
你燃烧 你煎熬
In the tourniquet coil
在止血带的缠绕中
Of the white folks' soil
白人土地的束缚里
Spoilin' with a malaise worse than disses or **
被比辱骂更糟的倦怠侵蚀
Wakin' up in a haze
从迷雾中醒来
With your wishes and hopes
带着你的愿望与期许
And your poor little dreams
和你渺小的梦
All wrapped up in burlap
梦想被粗麻布层层包裹
That you carry around
终日背负在肩上
For a sniff or a snack
只为匆忙嗅一口滋味
Or a taste in your haste
或仓促尝一口希望
To get right back on track
便要继续赶路
Outta whack with the pack
与人群渐行渐远
But acquiring the knack
却学会了熟视无睹
Of ignoring the rustle
任那不甘的沙沙声作响
That quietly seethes
那无声的沸腾
The hustle the buy-it
奔波劳碌 随波逐流
The air that you breathe
你赖以生存的空气
Joo ming boohaaooo
