The Man on the flying Trapeze - Don Redman/His Orchestra
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Now once I was happy but now I'm forlorn
曾经我满怀欢欣 如今只剩凄凉
Like an old coat that is tattered and torn
如同破旧外套 褴褛不堪
Left in this wide world to fret and to mourn
被遗弃在这世间 独自忧愁哀伤
Betrayed by a maid in her teens
遭少女背叛心伤
Now the man that I loved she was handsome
她所爱之人英俊潇洒
And I tried all I knew her to please
我倾尽所能讨她欢心
Then but I never could not please her one quarter so well
却始终不及他半分好
As the man upon the trapeze
当那个男人在高空秋千上翻飞
Oh
I stay some months after that I went in to the hall
数月后我走进那座大厅
And to my surprised I find them on the wall
惊见他们高悬在墙上
A bill in red letters which did my heart gall
猩红海报刺痛我心房
That she was appearing with him
她竟与他同台亮相
He'd taught her gymnastics and dressed her in tights
他教她体操 给她穿上紧身衣装
Just to help him live at his ease
只为让自己活得舒畅
And he made her assume a masculine name
他让她改了个男人名字
And now she goes on the trapeze
如今她在秋千上飞舞
Oh ya ya ya ya
He'd fly through the air with the greatest of ease
他轻盈地凌空翻飞
This daring young man on the flying trapeze
那个飞人秋千上的大胆青年
I mean the movements were graceful all the girls he could please
动作优雅迷倒所有姑娘
And my love he purloined away
而我的爱人被他偷走
