Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues - Nina Simone (妮娜·西蒙)
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
When you're lost in the rain in juarez
当你在华雷斯城的雨中迷失方向
And its easter time too
又恰逢复活节时光
And your gravity fails
当你失去重力支撑
And negativity don't pull you through
消极情绪再难将你托起
Don't put on any airs
莫要故作姿态
When you're down on rue morgue avenue
当你沦落在停尸房大街
They got some hungry women there
那里有饥渴的女人
And they really make a mess out of you
她们会让你彻底崩溃
Now if you see saint annie
若你遇见圣安妮
Please tell her thanks a lot
请代我道声感谢
I can not move
我无法动弹
My fingers are all in a knot
十指如绳结般纠缠
I don't have the strength
我已无力挣扎
To get up and take another shot
再难起身饮尽这杯苦酒
And my best friend my doctor
而我挚友 那位医者
Won't even say what it is I have got
始终不肯道破我患何症
Sweet melinda
亲爱的梅琳达
The peasants call her the goddess of gloom
乡民们都称她为忧郁女神
She speaks good English
她说着一口流利的英语
And she invites you up into her room
邀你进入她的闺房
And you're so kind
你如此绅士
And careful not to go to her too soon
小心翼翼地不敢唐突造访
And she takes your voice
她却夺走你的声音
And leaves you howling at the moon
留你在月下孤独哀嚎
Up on housing project hill
在公屋山丘上伫立
It's either fortune or fame
无非是名利双收的幻象
You can pick one or the other
你可以任选其一
Though neither of them
但两者都不过是
Are to be what they claim
虚假的承诺
If you're looking to get silly
若你想荒唐度日
You better go back to from where you came
不如回到来时的地方
Because the cops don't need you
因为警察根本不需要你
And man they expect the same
人们却还期望如常
Now all the authorities
如今那些当权者
They just stand around and boast
只会袖手旁观 夸夸其谈
How they blackmailed the sergeant at arms
他们如何要挟警卫长
Into leaving his post
迫使他擅离职守
And picking up my borther car
刚接回我兄弟的车
Just arrived here from the coast
他才从海岸抵达此地
Who looked so fine at first
初见时光鲜亮丽
But left looking just like a ghost
离去时却形销骨立
I started out on burgundy
最初浅尝辄止
But soon hit the harder stuff
转瞬便深陷泥潭
Everybody said they'd stand behind me
众人皆许诺
When the game got rough
危难时与我并肩
But the joke was on me
原来只是戏言
There was nobody even there to bluff
连虚张声势的人都未曾出现
I'm going back to new york city
我要回到纽约城
I do believe I've had enough
真的已经受够了这一切
