A Month Of Sundays - Don Henley

A Month Of Sundays - Don Henley
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I used to work for harvester
我曾为收割机厂挥汗如雨
I used to use my hands
用这双手创造过奇迹
I used to make the tractors
亲手锻造那些拖拉机
The combines that plowed
还有联合收割机
And harvested this great land
耕耘这片广袤土地
Now I see my handi work
而今我的毕生心血
On the block
被弃置在拍卖场
Everywhere I turn
举目皆是沧桑
And I see the clouds
我望见云朵掠过
Cross the weathered faces
那些饱经风霜的面庞
And I watch the harvest burn
眼看着丰收化为灰烬
I quit the plant in '57
五七年我离开工厂
Had some time for farmin' then
那时才有空务农
Banks back then was lendin' money
当年银行还肯放贷
Banker was the farmer's friend
银行家是农夫挚友
I've seen dog days and dusty days
我熬过酷暑 捱过旱季
Late spring snow and early fall sleet
暮春飞雪 初秋冻雨
Held the leather reins in my hands
手中紧握皮革缰绳
Felt the soft ground under my feet
脚下感受松软泥土
Between the hot
在酷热干旱
Dry weather and the taxes
与沉重税赋之间
And the cold war it's been
还有冷战阴云笼罩
Hard to make ends meet
生计艰难维持
But I always put the clothes
但我始终将衣物
On out backs
我们肩负重担
Always put the shoes on our feet
始终脚踏实地
The grandson he comes home from college
孙子从大学归来
He says we get the government
他说我们理应获得政府补助
We deserve
这是应得的
Son in law just shakes his head
女婿只是摇头叹息
And says that little punk
说那个小混蛋
He never had to serve
从未真正付出过
And I sit here
我独坐于此
In the shadow
在郊区的阴影下
Of suburbs
望着远方
Look out across these empty fields
眺望这片荒芜的田野
I sit here
我静坐于此
In earshot of the bypass and all night
听着绕城公路彻夜不息
I listen to the rushin' of the wheels
聆听车轮飞驰的呼啸
The big boys they all got computers
那些大人物都配上了电脑
Got incorporated too
还成立了股份公司
Me I just know how to raise things
而我只会侍弄庄稼
That was all I ever knew
这是我毕生所学
Now it all comes down to numbers
如今一切都成了数字游戏
Now I'm glad that I have quit
庆幸我已抽身离去
Folks these days just don't do nothin'
现在的人做事啊
Simply for the love of it
早没了那份纯粹的热爱
Went into town of the fourth of July
七月四日我走进小镇
Watched 'em parade past the union Jack
看着游行队伍经过米字旗
Watched 'em break out the brass and beat
看着他们奏响铜管乐
On the drum
鼓声阵阵
One step forward and two steps back
进一步却退两步
And I saw a sign on easy street
我在安逸街上看见告示
Said be prepared to stop
写着"请准备停车"
Pray for the independent little man
为独立的小人物祈祷
I don't see next year's crop
望不见来年的收成
And I sit here
我独坐于此
On the back porch in the twilight
暮色中的后院门廊
And I hear the crickets hum
听蟋蟀低吟
I sit and watch the lightning in the distance
凝望天边闪烁的雷电
But the showers never come
却等不来半滴甘霖
I sit here
我静坐于此
Listen to the wind blow
听风呜咽而过
I sit here
我静坐于此
And rub my hands
搓着双手
I sit here
我静坐于此
Listen to the clock strike
听着钟声敲响
And I wonder when I'll see my
不知何时才能再见
Companion again
我的老伙伴
