I'm Gold Rush Kate from the Golden State
我是淘金女郎凯特 来自黄金之州
With a nugget around my neck
颈间挂着金块沉甸甸
I keep the red lights burning
让红灯彻夜不熄
Bright from here to hell and back
光芒从地狱到人间
I've dug for silver and for
我曾挖掘白银与黄金
Gold from Boulder up to Haines
从博尔德到海恩斯
When I hit Coloma boys
当抵达科洛马时
I made my final claim
便立下此生最后的誓言
Crossed the high sierras in the spring of 48
四八年春翻越内华达山脉
And every man with a shovel and pan
每个手持铁锹淘金盘的男人
Has stumbled through my gates
都踉跄着穿过我的门廊
Behind these doors whiskey
在这些门后 威士忌倾泻
Pours and lovin' flows like wine
爱意如葡萄酒般流淌
Miners boast of mother lodes
矿工们吹嘘着母矿脉
They'll dig or else die trying
要么挖到金子 要么掘墓而亡
El Dorado woo-hoo-hoo
黄金乡啊 呼-呼-呼
They come from far and wide
他们从四面八方涌来
To quell the fever in their souls
只为平息灵魂中的狂热
It haunts their brain
这执念萦绕心头
They've gone insane
他们早已丧失理智
For the glimmer of the gold
只为那黄金的微光
The devil must have ****
定是魔鬼**
'Em here down a one-way path
诱他们走上不归路
'Cause when you hit Coloma
当你抵达科洛玛时
Boys you never make it back
少年们啊 你们再也无法归来
There's Redwood Bill
红木比尔还在
He can drink his fill
终日醉饮不休
And so can John the Rover
流浪的约翰亦是如此
Bad Luck Dave is in his grave
倒霉的戴夫已长眠地下
His gold dust days are over
他的淘金岁月就此终结
They fill their pans with blood
他们用鲜血与砂砾
And sand and call to God upstairs
填满淘盘 向天堂的主哀呼
But in the golden country boys
在这黄金国度里 小伙子们啊
The Lord don't hear your prayers
上帝听不见你们的祈祷
El Dorado woo-hoo-hoo
黄金乡啊 呼-呼-呼
'Cross yourself on Hangman's
若你在绞刑山遇见雷诺的玛利亚
Hill if you run into Reno Maria
就赶紧在胸前画个十字吧
When the sky is dark she can read the stars
当夜幕低垂时 她能解读星辰
From Mars to Cassiopeia
从火星到仙后座
She comes around when the sun
每当太阳西沉 她就会悄然现身
Comes down with fortunes to be told
命运的故事在此诉说
For a copper penny she'll tell you plenty
一枚铜钱换她千言万语
'Cept where to find the gold
唯独不透露黄金踪迹
Stay away from Snake Oil Jake
远离蛇油贩子杰克
He'll fool you with a fountain pen
钢笔把戏将你蒙蔽
One look in his eyes you'll be hypnotized
对视瞬间便神魂颠倒
He's got that slight of hand
他手法诡谲难防备
He's sleek and fat like an old tom cat
油滑臃肿似老猫
They say he has nine lives
都说他有九条命
Snake Oil Jake sure met his fate when
江湖骗子杰克终究难逃宿命
They shot him down ten times
他们朝他开了整整十枪
Don't stake your claim with the
千万别跟野狗帮搭伙
Dogtown Gang
立桩占地
Or the boys from Rough and Ready
也别招惹莽汉团的人
Don't thumb your nose at the Sydney Cove
对悉尼湾那帮人别太嚣张
'Cause the hammer comes down heavy
他们的铁锤可不长眼睛
On every jack who tries to
每个妄想发财的莽汉
Hack his way to fortune fair
挥镐劈开命运的门槛
And comes to find he's last
最终却发现自己是
In line to be a millionaire
百万富翁名单的末端
El Dorado woo-hoo-hoo
黄金乡啊 呼-呼-呼
El Dorado city of gold city of fools
黄金城 愚人的金山 痴梦的坟场
Heard the news from Siskiyou
锡斯基尤传来消息
The rush is moving on
淘金热潮已转向他方
Leaving old Coloma boys
告别科洛玛的老伙计们
And bound for Oregon
向着俄勒冈启程
Here in town the tailing
镇上的矿渣堆
Piles have all gone to rust
早已锈迹斑斑
One day you boom but pretty soon
昨日还繁荣兴旺
Your booming days are bust
转瞬便萧条破败
So now I sweep the empty
如今我清扫着
Streets and boarded up saloon
空荡街道与封板的酒馆
Seen 'em fade from golden
眼看金色年华褪色成灰
Days to ghost towns left to ruin
繁华化作鬼城 徒留断壁残垣
Was it worth the blood and
以血汗与尘泥
Dirt to dig our lives away
掘尽此生 可曾值得
But life goes quick so come
但人生苦短 不如来
Get rich in Californ-I-A
加利福尼亚淘金致富
El Dorado woo-hoo-hoo
黄金乡啊 呼-呼-呼
El Dorado city of gold city of fools
黄金城 愚人的金山 痴梦的坟场
Has the fever got a hold on you
淘金热是否已让你神魂颠倒
I've seen it all the rise and
我目睹过一切兴衰起落
Fall and now I take my rest
如今终于得以安歇
I'm Gold Rush Kate from the Golden State
我是淘金女郎凯特 来自黄金之州
And I'm the last one left
也是最后坚守于此的人
