Lyrics by:Joni Mitchell
Composed by:Joni Mitchell
Old Beale Street is coming down
比尔老街正逐渐倾颓
Sweeties' Snack Bar boarded up now
甜心小吃店已钉上木板
And Egles the Tailor and the Shine Boy's gone
裁缝伊格尔斯与擦鞋少年 皆已消逝
Faded out with ragtime blues
随散拍蓝调渐渐淡去
Handy's cast in bronze
汉迪的铜像静立
And he's standing in a little park with his trumpet in his hands
在小公园持着小号凝望
Like he's listening back to the good old bands
仿佛聆听昔日乐队的悠扬
And the click of high heeled shoes
与高跟鞋叩响的韵律
Old Furry sings the blues
老弗瑞哼唱着蓝调
Propped up in his bed with his dentures and his leg removed
假牙搁在床头 断腿支着被褥
And Ginny's there for her kindness and Furry's beer
金妮送来善心与啤酒
She's the old man's angel overseer
她是老者的守护天使
Pawn shops glitter like gold tooth caps
当铺金牙般在灰败中闪烁
In the grey decay
啃噬着比尔街残骸上
They chew the last few dollars off old Beale Street's carcass
最后几枚铜板
Carrion and mercy
腐肉与慈悲同葬
Blue and silver sparkling drums
蓝银相间的闪亮鼓面
Cheap guitars eye shades and guns
廉价吉他 墨镜与枪械
Aimed at the hot blood of being no one
瞄准无名之辈的热血
Down and out in Memphis Tennessee
田纳西孟菲斯的落魄街角
Old Furry sings the blues
老弗瑞哼唱着蓝调
Bring him smoke and drink and he'll play for you
递上烟酒 他便为你演奏
It's mostly muttering now and sideshow spiel
如今多是含混低语与杂耍把戏
But there was one song he played I could really feel
但曾有支曲子 直击我心扉
There's a double bill murder at the New Daisy
新黛西剧院上演着双尸命案
The old girl's silent across the street
街对面的老剧院沉默无言
She's silent waiting for the wrecker's beat
她沉默等待拆迁队的重锤
Silent staring at her stolen name
沉默凝视着被窃取的招牌
Diamond boys and satin dolls
钻石男孩与绸缎玩偶
Bourbon laughter ghosts
波本威士忌里的笑声幽灵
History falls to to parking lots and shopping malls
历史沦陷为停车场与购物中心
As they tear down old Beale Street
当推土机碾过古老的比尔街
Old Furry sings the blues
老弗瑞哼唱着蓝调
Points a bony finger at you and says"I don't like you"
瘦骨嶙峋的手指指向你 嘟囔着"我可不喜欢你"
And everybody laughs as if it's the old man's standard joke
众人哄笑 仿佛这是老人惯常的玩笑话
But it's true we're only welcome for our drink and smoke
但真相是 我们不过因酒烟才被接纳
Furry sings the blues
弗瑞的蓝调在飘荡
W. C. Handy I'm rich and I'm fey
W.C.汉迪啊 我阔绰又疯癫
And I'm not familiar with what you played
你弹奏的曲调我实在陌生
But I get such strong impressions of your hey day
却清晰看见你辉煌岁月的模样
Looking up and down old Beale Street
徘徊在破败的比尔老街
Ghosts of the darktown society
黑人区的幽魂们
Come right out of the bricks at me
从砖墙里向我迎面走来
Like it's a Saturday night
仿佛今夜仍是周末狂欢
They're in their finery
他们盛装出席
Dancing it up and making deals
纵情起舞 暗通交易
Furry sings the blues
弗瑞的蓝调在飘荡
Why should I expect that old guy to give it to me true?
我怎敢奢望这老头会对我吐露真心
Fallen on hard luck
命运多舛 时运不济
And time and other thieves
岁月与盗贼偷走一切
While our limo is shining on his shanty street
当我们的豪车照亮他破败的街巷
Furry sings the blues
弗瑞的蓝调在飘荡
Old Furry sings the blues
老弗瑞哼唱着蓝调
Old Furry sings the blues
老弗瑞哼唱着蓝调
Old Furry sings the blues
老弗瑞哼唱着蓝调
The blues
那忧郁的蓝调
The blues
那忧郁的蓝调
Old Furry sings the the blues
老弗瑞哼唱着蓝调
