Cane Toad's Plain Code (1996 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
One summers morning as I strode
夏日清晨我信步前行
Along a dusty queensland road
沿着昆士兰尘土飞扬的小径
I chanced to meet and old cane toad
偶遇一只年迈的甘蔗蟾蜍
Bowed down beneath a heavy load
它背负着重担弯着腰
Oh my mind I thought was in a trance
恍惚间我以为自己眼花
I had to have a second glance
忍不住又仔细打量
For there in boots and moleskin pants
只见它蹬着靴子穿着粗布裤
He stood with proud and haughty stance
昂首挺立姿态傲慢
He shed his burdens when I spoke
当我开口 它卸下重担
He wiped his brow and rolled a smoke
抹去汗水 卷起烟草
And said just like it was a joke
玩笑般对我说道
Lend me a quid mate I'm flat broke
借点钱吧 老兄 我身无分文
Oh I thought I must be seeing things
噢 我怀疑自己眼花
Illusions like the heat wave brings
像热浪带来的幻象
Until he said with toothless grin
直到它咧嘴一笑 露出缺牙
You look like you've been on a binge
说你看起来醉得不轻
Oh I said pray tell me Mr toad
哦 蟾蜍先生请告诉我
Why do you choose to walk the road
为何选择流浪在路上
And carry such a heavy load
背负如此沉重的行囊
Without a fixed place of abode
却没有固定的家乡
Well mate said he I like to tramp
老兄说我就爱这样游荡
All day 'til heaven lights it's lamp
直到天边亮起星光
And then pull up and make my camp
然后停下搭个营帐
Besides swamps always give me cramps
沼泽地总让我腿发僵
And while humans fight with creed and race
当人类为信仰与种族争斗不休
And try to conquer outer space
当人类试图征服浩瀚宇宙
I just plod on from place to place
我只慢悠悠地四处漫游
And watch this mad old world go it's pace
冷眼看这疯狂世界自顾自奔走
I stood and stared as though spellbound
我呆立原地如被咒语击中
By words of wisdom so profound
因那番至理名言如此深重
And I heard the old cane toad expound
听见老甘蔗蟾蜍悠悠开口
Oh you sure meet some queer blokes knocking 'round
这世道晃荡的怪人可真不少有
