以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Oh they say some people long ago
传说在很久很久以前
Were looking for a different tune
人们追寻着别样旋律
One that they could croon
渴望吟唱出独特曲调
As only they can
唯有他们才懂的韵律
They only had the rhythm
最初只有简单节拍
So they started swaying to and from
于是随性摇摆起舞
They didn't know just what to use
尚不知该用何种方式
But this is how the blues really began
但蓝调真正的起源是这样
This is the way the blues began
这就是蓝调最初的模样
They heard the breeze in the trees
他们听见风拂过树梢
Singing weird melodies
吟唱着奇异的曲调
And they made that
他们由此创造
Just the start of the blues
蓝调最初的音符
And from a jail there came the wail
从监狱传来哀伤的呼号
From down hearted frail
来自心碎之人的悲叹
And they played that
他们演奏着
As part of the blues
这蓝调的一部分
Now from a whippoorwill
从夜鹰的啼鸣中
Still I out of a hill
我仍能听见山间的回响
They took a new note
他们捕捉到新的音符
And they pushed it in you heart
将它深深推入你心底
And till it was worn
直到它被岁月打磨
And into a blue note
化作忧郁的蓝调音符
And then they nursed it yeah rehearsed it
他们精心培育 反复排练
And then gave out the news
然后将这消息传遍四方
That the southland gave birth to the blues
南方大地孕育了蓝调之声
From a whippoorwill out of a hill
从山间夜鹰的啼鸣中
They grand a new note
他们提炼出崭新音符
And then pushed it through a horn
通过铜管乐器倾泻而出
And till it was worn
直到它被岁月打磨
And into a blue note
化作忧郁的蓝调音符
And then they nursed it
他们精心培育着它
Rehearsed it
反复排练着它
And then gave out the news
然后将这消息传遍四方
That the southland gave birth to the blues
南方大地孕育了蓝调之声
Then you gave me hum nursed it
你将它交予我 细心呵护
Rehearsed it
反复排练着它
And gave out the news
最终让这旋律传遍四方
That the southland gave birth
南方大地孕育而生
The birth to the blues
孕育出这蓝调之音
