(The Day I Jumped) From Uncle Harvey's Plane - Roger Miller
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Me 'n' Oliver 'n' Virgil was in the drugstore killing time
我和奥利弗、维吉尔在杂货店消磨时光
When my eyes fell upon this magazine
目光偶然落在这本杂志上
And I got to reading this article on sky-diving and parachuting
读到一篇关于跳伞运动的文章
And it said jumping out of air-planes was the thing
上面说从飞机上跳下来最刺激
Now being raised down on a farm and always ready for adventure
从小在农场长大的我 总爱冒险
I knew that I could figure out a way
我知道一定能想出办法
I said “Well Delmer Gill's got a parachute and Uncle Harvey's got an air-plane”
我说"德尔默·吉尔有降落伞 哈维叔叔有飞机"
So I said “Call the boys together today's the day”
于是召集伙伴们"就今天行动"
Well I found out too late what Uncle Harvey called an air-plane
直到为时已晚 我才明白哈维叔叔口中的"飞机"
Was nothing but an engine and a wing
不过是个引擎加翅膀的简陋玩意
And I could feel my fear a-rising as Delmer packed the parachute
德尔默打包降落伞时 我感到恐惧不断攀升
'Cos he kept telling me I was doing the right thing
只因他不停说着 我做的决定多么正确
Ron McLoughlin shook my hand as JD strapped me in the harness
罗恩·麦克洛克林与我握手 JD为我系上安全带
And Tildon brought a jug and passed it around
蒂尔顿拿来酒壶 在众人间传递
I took one look at that parachute and that whisky and that air-plane
我望着那降落伞 那威士忌 还有那架"飞机"
And I turned that bottle up and drank it down
抓起酒瓶仰头一饮而尽
Well I was drunker'n Cooter Jones when they poured me in the plane
当我被塞进机舱时 醉得比库特·琼斯还厉害
The engine coughed and headed for the clouds
引擎咳嗽着冲向云端
But I was sober as a judge by the time they opened up the door
但舱门打开时 我清醒得像法官
And I've never known my heart to beat so loud
从未听过自己心跳如此震耳欲聋
I said “Harvey I can't do it” as he kicked me out the door
我喊着"哈维 我不行了" 却被他踹出舱门
And I wrapped my hands around the landing gear
双手死死抓住起落架
And I was holding on real good 'til Harvey stepped down on my fingers
本来抓得牢牢的 直到哈维踩上我的手指
And Virgil said he heard me scream from way down there
维吉尔说连地面都听见我的惨叫
Well I thanked God and Delmer Gill when my parachute finally opened
当降落伞终于展开 我感谢上帝和德尔默·吉尔
I said “Well hell there ain't no use in being afraid”
我说"该死的 害怕也没用"
And I went crashing through the hen house scattering chickens and breaking eggs
我撞穿鸡舍 惊散鸡群 打碎鸡蛋
And I kissed the ground and fainted dead away
亲吻大地后便昏死过去
Now friends I've done some fighting and I've been shot at once or twice
朋友们 我曾打过几场仗 也中过一两枪
And I've durn near been run over by a train
还差点被火车碾过
But I don't think I remember being any more afraid
但我想不起还有什么时候
Than the day I jumped from Uncle Harvey's plane
比跳下哈维叔叔飞机那天更害怕
