Goldwatch Blues - Donovan
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I went up for my interview on the fourth day of July
七月四日那天 我前去参加面试
First old man he questioned me until I nearly cried
老头发问刁钻 逼得我几欲落泪
Made me fill in forms until I shook with fear
填表填到手抖 恐惧漫上心头
About the color of my toilet roll and if my cousin's queer
连厕纸颜色都要问 还打听表亲取向
Here's your goldwatch and the shackles for your chain
给你金表一副 还有镣铐锁链
And your piece of paper to say you left here sane
附赠证明文书 证明你神志健全
And if you've a son who wants a good career
若你儿子也想 谋个好前程
Just get him to sign on the dotted line
就让他在虚线处 签下大名
And work for fifty years
要工作整整五十年
He asked me how many jobs I'd had before
他问我之前换过几份工作
He nearly had a heart attack when I answered four
听到我说四个时 他差点心脏病发
Four jobs in twenty years oh this can never be
二十年换四份工 这简直不可理喻
We only take on men who work until they die
我们只录用至死方休的员工
Here's your goldwatch and the shackles for your chain
给你金表一副 还有镣铐锁链
And your piece of paper to say you left here sane

And if you've a son who wants a good career

Just get him to sign on the dotted line

And work for fifty years

He took me outside to where the gravestones stand in line
他带我来到外面 墓碑整齐排列的地方
This is where we bury them in quick-stone and in lime
我们在这里用速凝石灰埋葬他们
And if you come to work for us on this you must agree
若你决定为我们工作 必须同意这一点
That if you're going to die please do it during tea
倘若你要死去 请在茶歇时分完成
Break

This story that you heard you may think rather queer
你听的这个故事或许觉得荒诞
But it is the truth you'll be surprised to hear
但真相会让你大吃一惊
I did not want no job upon the board
我本不愿在董事会谋职
I just want to take a broom and sweep the bloody floor
只想拿起扫帚清扫这血汗之地
Here's your goldwatch and the shackles for your chain
