Circle of Steel - Gordon Lightfoot

Circle of Steel - Gordon Lightfoot
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Rows of lights in a circle of steel
钢铁圆环中霓虹灯成排闪烁
Where you place your bets on a great big wheel
你将赌注押在巨大的轮盘上
High windows flickerin' down through the snow
高窗透出的微光在雪中摇曳
A time you know
那是你熟悉的时光
Sights and sounds of the people goin' round
人群穿梭的声光交织
Everybody's in step with the season
每个人都踏着节日的舞步
A child is born to a welfare case
福利院里传来新生儿的啼哭
Where the rats run
老鼠横行之处
Around like they own the place
俨然是它们的地盘
The room is chilly
房间阴冷刺骨
The building is old
老楼摇摇欲坠
That's how it goes
这就是生活常态
The doctors found on his welfare rounds
福利医生例行查访
And he comes and he leaves on the double
匆匆来去不留痕
Deck the Halls was the song they played
他们播放着《装饰大厅》
In the flat next door where they shout all day
隔壁公寓里 整日争吵不休
She tips her gin bottle back till it's gone
她仰头痛饮 直到瓶中杜松子酒见底
The child is strong
孩子很坚强
A week a day they will take it away
再过一周或一天 他们就要将他带走
For they know about all her bad habits
因他们早已知晓她所有恶习
Christmas dawns and the snow lets up
圣诞破晓时 积雪渐消融
And the sun hits the handle of her heirloom cup
阳光洒落在她传家茶杯的把手
She hides her face in her hands for a while
她将脸庞埋入手心 久久不语
Says Look here child
孩子 听我说
Your fathers pride was his means to provide
你父亲的骄傲就是养家糊口
And he's servin' three years for that reason
为此他正在服三年刑期
Rows of lights in a circle of steel
钢铁圆环中霓虹灯成排闪烁
Where you place your bets on a great big wheel
你将赌注押在巨大的轮盘上
High windows flickerin' down through the snow
高窗透出的微光在雪中摇曳
A time you know
那是你熟悉的时光
Sights and sounds of the people goin' round
人群穿梭的声光交织
Everybody's in step with the season
每个人都踏着节日的舞步
