以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
My father was a tattoo artist in Haiphong
父亲曾是海防港的刺青师傅
but his designs on mother didn't last too long
可他为母亲刺的图案 未能长久驻足
my mother sold her body, high on Betel nuts
母亲嚼着槟榔 在烟雾中出卖身躯
my job was bringing red-faced monsieurs to our huts
我的童年 是为醉醺醺的先生们引路
selling your mom is a wrench
典当至亲是剜心之痛
perfume can cover a stench
香水盖不住腐朽暗涌
that's what I learned from the French
这是法兰西人教我的生存课
Then it all changed with Dien Bien Phu
直到奠边府战役改写命数
the frogs went home. Who came? Guess who?
青蛙们都回了家 猜猜谁来了？
are you surprised we went insane
我们为钱疯狂 你可会惊讶
with dollars pouring down like rain?
当美钞如雨倾盆而下？
businessmen never rob banks
体面商人从不抢银行
you can sell sh*t and get thanks
卖些垃圾也能受赞赏
that's what I learned from the Yanks
这是美国佬教我的门道
I'm fed up with small-time hustles
我厌倦了小打小闹
I'm too good to waste my talent for greed
怎能为了贪欲埋没天资
I need room to flex my muscles
我需要空间施展拳脚
in an ocean where the big sharks feed
在这片巨鲨觅食的海洋
make me Yankee, they're my family
让我成为美国人 他们就是我的家人
they're selling what people need
他们贩卖着人们所需的一切
What's that I smell in the air
空气中飘散着什么气息
the American dream
那是美国梦的味道
sweet as a new millionaire
甜美如新晋的百万富翁
the American dream
那是美国梦的味道
pre-packed, ready-to-wear
预包装 即穿即用
the American dream
那是美国梦的味道
fat, like a chocolate eclair
丰腴如巧克力泡芙
as you suck out the cream
吮吸着甜美奶油
Luck by the tail
幸运握在手中
how can you fail?
怎会失败？
and best of all, it's for sale
最妙的是 它正在出售
the American dream
那是美国梦的味道
Greasy chinks make life so sleazy
油腻的生活令人窒息
in the States I'll have a club that's four-starred
在美国我将拥有四星级夜场
men like me there have things easy
那里的男人活得轻松
they have a lawyer and a body-guard
配有律师和保镖护航
to the Johns there I'll sell blondes there
向寻欢客推销金发女郎
that they can charge on a card
刷卡消费的销金窟
What's that I smell in the air?
空气中飘着什么味道？
the American dream
那是美国梦的味道
sweet as a suite in Bel-air
甜美如比佛利山庄的套房
the American dream
那是美国梦的味道
girls can buy tits by the pair
女孩们能成对购买丰胸
the American dream
那是美国梦的味道
bald people think they'll grow hair
秃顶者幻想重获秀发
the American dream
那是美国梦的味道
call girls are lining time square
应召女郎在时代广场列队
the American dream
那是美国梦的味道
bums there have money to spare
连流浪汉都腰缠万贯
the American dream
那是美国梦的味道
cars that have bars take you there
豪华轿车载你奔赴彼岸
the American dream
那是美国梦的味道
on stage each night: Fred Astaire
夜夜舞台上演弗雷德·阿斯泰尔
the American dream
那是美国梦的味道
Shlitz down the drain!
啤酒都能肆意挥霍！
pop the Champagne!
香槟开起来！
it's time we all entertain

Girls boys invited to hotel

Wall Street designed to sell
