Old man on a barstool watching TV

坐在吧凳上看电视的老人站起来

Got up and came over to sit closer to me

走过来坐到了我身边

He said You look familiar to someone I knew

他说 你长得很像一个我认识的人

But when were your age we were older than you

但在我们像你这么大时 我们比你看起来老

Jimmy was twenty and I seventeen

那时Jimmy20岁 我17岁

And to us there was nothing but girls and machines

我们的世界里只有姑娘和赌博机

Jimmy got married and I went to war

Jimmy结婚了 我上了战场

I still don't know what we were doing it for

我依旧不明白我们为何要那样

But if you'll buy me a drink--turkey on ice

如果你为我买一杯加冰的土耳其白酒

Then I could give you some advice

我就会给你一些建议

You just stay in the bar

尽你所能地

For as long as you can

泡在酒吧里吧

As long as you're drinking

只要你能喝酒

Then you've got the world in your hand

你就拥有全世界

There's no shame in hanging your world by a string

浑浑噩噩过日子没什么好羞愧的

And you know there's no harm in not thinking a thing

什么都不去想也没什么不好

But trying to find a place for yourself in this world

但努力在世上找到容身之地

Is like trying to make a wife of an American girl

If you'll trade me a drink for a story or two

如果你用酒和我交换一两个故事

Then you'll know what you need to do

你就会知道你需要做什么

You just stay in the bar

尽你所能地

For as long as you can

泡在酒吧里吧

You know love is for sissies

娘娘腔才会谈恋爱

It's whiskey that makes you a man

威士忌才会让你有阳刚之气

Now the old man got up and stumbled out in the street

现在那位老人起身 颤颤巍巍地走到了街上

He'd been drinking all day and left his bar tab with me

他喝了一整天 把账单留给了我

I didn't have the money to cover his bill

我付不起他的账单

But I found me a man who looked like me younger still

但我发现了一个长得像我 却我比年轻的人

And said Buy me a drink and I'll tell you a tale

我说 为我买杯酒 我就给你讲

About the old man who taught me so well

那个老人教给我的故事

You just stay in the bar

尽你所能地

For as long as you can

泡在酒吧里吧

Hell I know you're a friend

我知道你很友好

I can tell by the shakes in your hand

从你握手的方式我就能知道

You just stay in the bar

只要你敢

For as long as you dare

就泡在酒吧里吧

As long as you're tipping

只要你敢喝酒

Then you've got a good friend somewhere

你就会得到一位好友
