I'd Have Been Out Of Jail - Waylon Jennings (维隆·杰宁斯)
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I sat at a bar having a beer
我坐在酒吧喝着啤酒
Trying to hold down the stool
努力稳住摇晃的高脚凳
When a stranger walked in stood there beside me
这时一个陌生人走进来站在我身旁
And plopped down there like a fool
像个傻瓜般重重坐下
He started drinking then he started talking
他灌着酒开始倾诉
About things that were wrong in his life
生活里那些糟心事
The more that I heard the more I believed
越听我越确信
The thing that was wrong was his wife
问题出在他娶的那个女人
You talk about beauty when we first met
你谈起初见时的美丽容颜
She was all a man could desire
那是男人梦寐以求的模样
Talk about love one night with her
说起与她共度的那个夜晚
Would set your very soul on fire
连灵魂都会被点燃
But loves little flame is out of control
但爱的火苗已失控蔓延
About three feet high from behind
从背后看只剩三英尺高
Since we've been married
自我们结为夫妻以来
I've come to believe
我终于明白
That love's for the dumb and the blind
爱情是给傻瓜和瞎子准备的
'Cause you talk about ugly when she gets mad
你说她生气时有多丑陋
She goes from Jekill to Hyde
就像从天使变成恶魔
She grits her teeth and her eyes roll back
她咬牙切齿 眼珠乱转
And pivot from side to side
左右摇摆不定
She completely rewrites the whole English language
她彻底改写了英语这门语言
Descriptive four lettered and loud
用四个字母的脏话大声嚷嚷
Now I can't out think her but I can sure out drink her
我虽想不通她 但酒量绝对能赢她
And that's what I'm doing here now
所以此刻我在这里买醉
I've spent seven years with the wrong woman
七年光阴错付给错误的人
Seven and going on eight
七年将尽 第八年又要来临
She spent seven years naggin' and eatin'
她七年都在唠叨与暴食中度过
I'm overwrought and she's overweight
我心力交瘁 她却日渐臃肿
If I try leavin' she has me arrested
若试图离开 她便报警抓我
And takes her own sweet time gettin' me out
然后慢条斯理地保释我出来
If she ain't number one she's in the top two
若非头号烦恼 也必位列前二
Of things that I could live without
这些事我本可不必忍受
Men commit murder and all kinds of mayhem
有人犯下谋杀与种种暴行
In a few years they're back on the streets
短短数年便重获自由
Highway robbery and white collar crime
拦路抢劫与白领犯罪
And they laugh at the system they beat
他们嘲笑着被钻空子的司法
Sometimes I'm tempted sometimes I'm ashamed
时而心生邪念 时而羞愧难当
Of the things that the law will allow
法律竟容许这般荒唐
I could have killed her when I first met her
初见时就该了结这段孽缘
And I'd have been out of jail by now
如今早已重获自由身
