Ringer From The Top End - Slim Dusty
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I'm a ringer from the top end
我是北方来的牧牛人
Where ya gotta know your job
在这必须精通本行
And what you're doing each day
清楚每日劳作方向
On two million acres you
两百万英亩牧场上
Bet ya have to earn your pay
报酬要靠汗水换
If ya wanna take it on
若要担起这重任
There's one thing that shouldn't be forgotten
有件事永不能忘
Nobody else can do the job
这活计非我不可当
Like a ringer from the top end
就像来自北疆的牧牛好手
Out on the fence line swallowing dust
围栏边吞下漫天尘沙
Blood on my hands from the barb
铁丝网上沾满我的血痕
Hoping that rogue bull won't see the hole
但愿那头蛮牛别发现缺口
Before they get him in the yard
在人们把它赶入围栏之前
But I get a funny feeling
但我的脊梁骨突然
In the middle of my back
窜过一阵异样战栗
Sure enough he's coming
果然它正猛冲而来
Like a train down the track
如列车沿轨道飞驰
That's when nobody else moves faster
此刻无人能及他的迅捷
Than the ringer from the top end
那位来自北境的牧牛人
Reg now
此刻正蓄势待发
Oie
I'm a ringer from the top end
我是北方来的牧牛人
Where ya gotta muster
每日需集结
Three thousand head in a day
三千头牛群的任务
Move em to the yards
将牛群赶入围栏
And water them at end of day
日暮时分饮水喂草
It's not the sort of job you'd take
这绝非轻松差事
If you're looking for a soft one
若你贪图安逸便不适合
But ya take a kinda pride in saying
但我仍自豪宣告
I'm a ringer from the top end
我是北方来的牧牛人
Well I roll out my swag neath the boab tree
展开铺盖躺在猴面包树下
And then I'm out like a light
转眼便酣然入梦
Dreaming about those girls in town
梦中浮现城里姑娘的身影
Next thing it's broad daylight
转眼已是天光大亮
No time to dream of what might have been
无暇追忆未竟的遗憾
I'm in a dirty bull catcher
此刻我正驾着沾满泥泞的捕牛车
With the mustering team
与赶牧队并肩前行
I better keep my mind on the job
必须全神贯注于手头的工作
Cause I'm a ringer from the top end
因我是来自北疆的牧牛人
Hey
And nobody does the job better
没人能比我们更出色
Than a ringer from the top end
我们这些北方来的牧牛人
That's right
没错
Oh yeah
