Cloud Nine (Complete version originally performed by The Temptations) - The Temptations
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Childhood part of my life
童年时光并不美好
Wasn't very pretty see
那段岁月充满阴霾
I was born and raised
我在这座城市
In the slums of the city
最破败的贫民窟长大
It was a one-room shack
十一个孩子挤在
That slept ten other children beside me
一间狭小的棚屋里
We hardly had enough food
食不果腹
Or room to sleep
睡无立锥之地
It was hard times
那是段艰难岁月
I needed something
我渴望找到
To ease my troubled mind
抚慰我烦忧的解药
Ooh listen
听我说
My father didn't know the meaning of work
父亲从不懂何为责任担当
He disrespected mama
他轻蔑对待母亲
And treated us like dirt
视我们如尘土般卑微
I left home seeking a job
我离家寻找生计
That I never did find
我始终未能寻得
Depressed and down-hearted
抑郁又沮丧
And I took to cloud nine
便飞往九霄云外
I'm doing fine
我过得很好
Up here on cloud nine
在这云端之上
Listen one more time
请再听一次
I'm doing fine
我过得很好
Up here on cloud nine
在这云端之上
Folks down there tell me
街坊邻里都劝我说
They say "Give yourself a chance son
他们讲"孩子给自己个机会吧
Don't let life pass you by"
别让生活从指缝溜走"
(Woo woo woo-oo)
(呜 呜 呜——)
But the world around you's a rat race
可这世界就像鼠辈竞逐
Where only the strongest survive
唯有强者才能存活
It's a dog-eat-dog world
这是个弱肉强食的世界
And that ain't no lie
这话半点不假
(Ain't no lie)
(绝非虚言)
Listen it ain't even safe no more
听好了 如今连夜晚的街道都不再安全
To walk the streets at night
深夜独行危机四伏
I'm doing fine
我过得很好
On cloud nine
在极乐云端
