Chicago Seemed Tired Last Night - The Hold Steady
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Nelson Algren came to Paddy at some party at the dead end alley
尼尔森·阿尔格伦在死胡同巷的派对上找到帕迪
Yeah he told him what to celebrate
他告诉他要庆祝些什么
And I met William Butler Yeats Sunday night dance party summer 1988
我在1988年夏夜的舞会上遇见叶芝
At first I thought it might be William Blake
起初还以为是布莱克显灵
We mix our own mythologies we push them out through PA systems
我们调制自己的神话 通过音响系统传播
We dictate our doxologies and try to get sleeping kids to sit up and listen
我们口述祷文 试图让沉睡的孩子坐起来聆听
And I'm not saying we could save you but we could put you in a place where you could save yourself
虽不能拯救你 但能带你去往自救之地
If you don't get born again at least you'll get high as hell
若不能重生 至少能飘飘欲仙
Yeah and sweet St Paul that must be the hardest luck saint of them all
是啊 圣保罗 那定是诸圣中最命途多舛的一位
We met him at some suburban St Paul mall
我们在圣保罗郊区的商场与他相遇
But when St Theresa came to Holly I wasn't even at that party
但当圣特蕾莎来到好莱坞时 我甚至没参加那场派对
I'd already moved out to New York City
那时我已搬去了纽约城
When Judas went up and kissed him
当犹大上前亲吻他时
I almost got sick
我几乎要作呕
I guess I knew what was coming
我早预感到将要发生什么
I guess I knew it was coming
我早知这一切终将降临
We gather our gospels from gossip and bar talk then we declare them the truth
我们从流言与酒桌闲谈中拼凑福音 然后宣称这就是真理
We salvage our sermons from message boards and scene reports and we sic them on the youth
在论坛帖子和现场见闻里打捞布道词 再灌输给年轻一代
We try out new testaments on the guys sitting next to us in the bars with the bars on the windows alright
我们对着酒吧铁窗边的陌生人 试验新约般的狂想 好吧
Even if you don't get converted tonight you gotta admit the band's pretty tight
就算今夜你未被感化 至少得承认乐队演得真不赖
They did "She's Got Legs" into "Ain't Too Proud To Beg"
他们串烧了《她有美腿》和《不耻乞求》
Into something by the Dixie Dregs
接着翻弹南方渣滓乐队的曲子
And they faked their way through "Fairytale of New York"
又即兴糊弄完《纽约童话》
When the band finished playing we howled out for more
曲终时我们嚎叫着安可
Hey Nelson Algren Chicago seemed tired last night
嘿 纳尔逊·阿尔格林 昨夜芝加哥显得疲惫不堪
They had cigarettes where there were supposed to be eyes
本该是双眸的地方 却只见香烟明灭
Hey William Butler Yeats all the Irish seemed wired last night
嘿 叶芝 昨夜所有爱尔兰人都亢奋异常
They tried to separate our girls from our guys
他们试图将姑娘们与小伙子们分开
They had cigarettes where there were supposed to be eyes
本该是双眸的地方 却只见香烟明灭
