Gershwin: I'd Rather Charleston - Adele Astaire/Fred Astaire
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I've seen for days that you've got
多日来我已察觉
The ways that must be checked
你的行为需要约束
In you I never can detect
在你身上我始终找不到
The slightest signs of intellect
丝毫智慧的痕迹
Your mad on dances
你为舞蹈痴狂
Think of the chances you neglect
却忽视了多少机遇
You never seem inclined to use your mind
你从不愿动脑思考
And it's quite plain to see
这事实显而易见
That I'm the brains of the family
我是家中的智囊担当
Take a lesson from me
该好好向我学一学
I'd rather Charleston Charleston
我宁愿跳起查尔斯顿
Think of what you might be
想想你本可以的模样
I'd rather Charleston Charleston
我宁愿跳起查尔斯顿
I'm disappointed in you and your ways
对你的所作所为深感失望
I'm double jointed
我天生柔韧非常
If There's no sensation like syncopation
切分节奏最是美妙
Will you let me know why
能否告诉我缘由
I'd rather Charleston Charleston
我宁愿跳起查尔斯顿
That's the sort of thing I would never do
这本非我素日所为
So leave it behind
不如抛却旧习
And give your mind to something new
让思绪拥抱新途
I'd rather Charleston Charleston
我宁愿跳起查尔斯顿
Charleston with you
与你共舞翩跹
Your way of living soon
你沉溺的生活方式
Will be giving me a pain
这真让我头疼不已
You just repeat that same refrain
你总是重复同样的调调
You use your feet and not your brain
用双脚思考却不动脑
Something has got you
有什么东西蛊惑了你
I don't know what you hope to gain
不知你究竟图个什么
And after all I've done
想想我付出的一切
It's not much fun to have a Sister who's
有个痴迷跳舞的妹妹
Got her brain in her dancing shoes
实在让人高兴不起来
So take a lesson from me
所以 跟我学个乖吧
I'd rather Charleston
我宁愿跳查尔斯顿
Charleston When you're older you'll see
查尔斯顿 等你长大就明白
I'd rather Charleston Charleston
我宁愿跳起查尔斯顿
The great improvements I looked for in you
我曾期待你脱胎换骨
I like improvements
我钟意进步
If you make new plastic just like elastic
若你能把塑料变橡皮筋般灵巧
Say don't you ever keep cool
听着 永远别想偷懒耍滑
I'd rather Charleston
我宁愿跳查尔斯顿
Oh no that's the sort of thing silly people do
噢不 那是愚蠢之人才做的事
Hey haven't you read
嘿 你难道没读过
What Lincoln said in sixty-two
林肯在1862年说的话吗
Yeh what'd he say
是啊 他说了什么
I'd rather Charleston Charleston
我宁愿跳起查尔斯顿
Charleston with you
与你共舞翩跹
Not me
但不是我
