The Pool Song - Sean Cannon
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
May the Lord upon high who rules the sky
愿那高居云端的主宰
Look down on our pubs and bars
垂顾我们这些酒馆吧台
And the women and men all seated within
看那些男男女女呆坐其间
Neglecting their pints and their jars
任杯中酒液渐渐消散
The crack it is bad the atmosphere sad
谈笑不再 气氛悲哀
Every man has a face like a mule
人人脸上挂着驴般倔态
For all he can do is to grab an old cue
只会抄起陈旧的球杆
And start playing that game of pool
沉迷那该死的台球比赛
Well when I was a boy it was always me joy
想当年我还是个少年郎
To go to the pub each night
每晚最爱往酒馆里闯
There were arguments scraps and killings perhaps
争吵斗殴甚至闹出人命
And everyone thought he was right
人人都觉得自己在理上
There were badgers and dogs
有醉汉有赌徒
And men from the bogs
还有乡下来的莽夫
And young fellows acting the tool
年轻小伙装模作样
But now there's no crack
如今却没了往日欢畅
For everyman Jack
每个杰克都如此
Has his arse in the air playing pool
撅着屁股沉迷于台球
To the local ale house after milking the cows
挤完牛奶就直奔小酒馆
Every customer made his way
每个顾客都循迹而来
And there he would dwell and drink till he fell
在那里醉生梦死直到倒下
While the fiddles and pipes they did play
伴着提琴与风笛的演奏
The jigs and the reels the rattling of heels
吉格舞与里尔舞 鞋跟哒哒作响
Polkas and slides were the rule
波尔卡和滑步曾是这里的规矩
But now there's no chance of a tune or a dance
如今再难闻乐声 舞步也消逝无踪
For everyone's playing the ould pool
只因众人沉迷那老旧台球
Well this pool you will find is a game designed
这游戏生来就是
For foolish illiterate louts
为愚昧无知之徒设计
You push in four bob and you pull an old knob
投进四先令 拉动旧把手
And a big shower of balls they come out
哗啦啦滚出满桌彩球
They're placed on a table and then if you're able
它们排列在绿呢台面
To knock them all into a hole
若你有本事就全数击入洞中
More money goes in you start over again
钱越投越多 你又重新开始
And you lose every bob of your dole
却输光了每一分救济金
Now in the Irish Free State
如今在爱尔兰自由邦
All the people are bate
所有人都疲惫不堪
From watching and playing this game
只因沉迷于这游戏
In their necks they have cricks
他们的脖子僵硬
That no doctor could fix
连医生都束手无策
And their backs and their shoulders are maimed
背部和肩膀都已受伤
Their arses protrude in a manner most lewd
他们的姿态猥琐不堪
From being hoisted aloft in the air
被高高悬挂在半空中
And their eyeballs are sore
双眼布满血丝
And dripping in gore
滴落着猩红液体
And they act in a manner most quare
行为举止怪异荒诞
So if you meet a young man
若你遇见某个青年
Who's face it is wan
面色苍白如纸
And his eyes have a vacant stare
眼神空洞茫然
His jawbone is slack
他下巴松垮无力
And his head is thrown back
脑袋向后仰去
And he can't tell a cob from a mare
连骡马都分不清
His nostrils dilated his brow corrugated
鼻孔大张 眉头紧锁
His manners like those of a fool
举止像个傻子
On your shirt you can bet
赌上你的衬衫
That you have just met
你刚遇到的这人
A man that's gone plain mad from pool
已被台球逼疯
