Guitar Man - Jerry Reed
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Well I quit my job down at the car wash
我辞去了洗车行的工作
Left my mama a goodbye note
给妈妈留下告别字条
By sundown I'd left Kingston
日落时分离开金斯顿
With my guitar under my coat
吉他就藏在外套下
I hitchhiked all the way down to Memphis
一路搭便车来到孟菲斯
Got a room at the YMCA
在青年会租了间房
For the next three weeks I went hauntin' them nightclubs
接下来三周我流连夜店
Just lookin' for a place to play
只为寻找演出的舞台
Well I thought my pickin' would set 'em on fire
我曾以为我的琴技会让他们热血沸腾
But nobody wanted to hire a guitar man
却无人愿雇佣一个吉他手谋生
Well I nearly 'bout starved to death down in Memphis
在孟菲斯我几乎饿得奄奄一息
I run outta money and luck
花光积蓄又霉运缠身
So I bought me a ride down to Macon Georgia
只得搭上开往梅肯的货车
On a overloaded poultry truck
那辆超载的家禽运输车
I thumbed on down to Panama City
一路搭便车来到巴拿马城
Started checkin' out some o' them all night bars
开始混迹通宵酒吧寻机会
Hopin' I could make myself a dollar
盼着能用这把吉他挣点钱
Makin' music on my guitar
弹着琴弦谱写我的梦想
I got the same old story at them all night piers
每个码头都听过同样的故事
There ain't no room around here for a guitar man
这里容不下一个吉他手的生存
We don't need a guitar man son
孩子 我们不需要吉他手
So I slept in the hobo jungles
于是我露宿在流浪汉营地
Roamed a thousand miles of track
沿着铁轨漂泊千里
Till I found myself in Mobile Alabama
直到来到阿拉巴马州的莫比尔
At a club they call Big Jack's
在那家名为大杰克的小酒馆
A little four-piece band was jammin'
四人乐队正即兴演奏
So I took my guitar and I sat in
我抱起吉他加入其中
I showed 'em what a band would sound like
让他们见识真正的乐队风采
With a swingin' little guitar man
随着摇摆的吉他手律动
Show 'em son
给他们点颜色瞧瞧 小子
If you ever take a trip down to the ocean
若你某天前往海边旅行
Find yourself down around Mobile
不妨到莫比尔港看看
Make it on out to a club called Jack's
来到一家叫杰克的热闹酒吧
If you got a little time to kill
若你有些闲暇时光
Just follow that crowd of people
只需跟随熙攘人群
You'll wind up out on his dance floor
就会踏入他的舞池中央
Diggin' the finest little five-piece group
欣赏墨西哥湾沿岸最棒的
Up and down the Gulf of Mexico
五人乐队纵情演奏
Guess who's leadin' that five-piece band
猜猜谁在领奏这支乐队
Well wouldn't ya know it's that swingin' little guitar man
没错正是那位摇摆的吉他手
