I'd Rather Charleston (Lady Be Good) - Fred Astaire
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I've seen for days that you've got
多日来我已看透
The ways that must be checked
你那些需要管束的行径
In you I never can detect
在你身上我始终寻觅不到
The slightest signs of intellect
丝毫智慧的痕迹
Your mad on dances
你痴迷于舞步
Think of the chances you neglect
却将大好前程抛诸脑后
You never seem inclined to use your mind
你从不愿开动脑筋思考
And it's quite plain to see
这事实在太过明显
That I'm the brains of the family
我是家中最聪慧的那个
Take a lesson from me
该以我为镜
I'd rather Charleston Charleston
我宁愿跳着查尔斯顿舞
Think of what you might be
想想你本可成为的模样
I'd rather Charleston Charleston
我宁愿跳着查尔斯顿舞
I'm disappointed in you and your ways
对你和你的做派深感失望
I'm double jointed
我肢体柔韧
If There's no sensation like syncopation
若没有比切分音更令人悸动的节奏
Will you let me know why
能否告诉我缘由
I'd rather Charleston Charleston
我宁愿跳着查尔斯顿舞
That's the sort of thing I would never do
这绝非我该有的追求
So leave it behind
快抛却过往腐朽
And give your mind to something new
让心智探寻崭新宇宙
I'd rather Charleston Charleston
我宁愿跳着查尔斯顿舞
Charleston with you
与你共舞至时光尽头
Your way of living soon
你如此虚度春秋
Will be giving me a pain
这真让我心痛难忍
You just repeat that same refrain
你总是重复同样的舞步
You use your feet and not your brain
用双脚起舞却不动脑筋
Something has got you
有什么蛊惑了你
I don't know what you hope to gain
不知你究竟追求什么
And after all I've done
尽管我付出所有
It's not much fun to have a Sister who's
有个痴迷舞蹈的妹妹
Got her brain in her dancing shoes
实在让人快乐不起来
So take a lesson from me
听我一句劝吧
I'd rather Charleston
我宁愿你跳查尔斯顿
Charleston When you're older you'll see
等你长大就会明白
I'd rather Charleston Charleston
我宁愿跳着查尔斯顿舞
The great improvements I looked for in you
曾期待你脱胎换骨
I like improvements
我渴望看到进步
If you make new plastic just like elastic
若你能像橡皮筋般重塑自我
Say don't you ever keep cool
难道就不能冷静思考
I'd rather Charleston
我宁愿你跳查尔斯顿
Oh no that's the sort of thing silly people do
噢不 那是愚蠢之人才会做的事
Hey haven't you read
嘿 难道你没读过
What Lincoln said in sixty-two
林肯在62年说过的话吗
Yeh what'd he say
是啊 他说了什么
I'd rather Charleston Charleston
我宁愿跳着查尔斯顿舞
Charleston with you
与你共舞至时光尽头
Not me
但不是我
