The Richest Guy In The Graveyard - Etta Jones
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Woke up this morning was a fine sunny day
今晨醒来 阳光灿烂美好
I said daddy please stay but he had to run away
我求爸爸留下 他却匆匆离去
Cause he was busy busy makin' lots of gold
因他终日奔忙 只为积累财富
So I told him better have some fun before you're old
我劝他及时行乐 莫待年华老去
You'll be the richest guy in the graveyard
你终将成为墓园里最富有的人
With money in the bank
银行里堆满钱财
You'll be the fattest cat
却只是最富有的亡魂
Who's stretched out flat
谁最终会平躺长眠
You'll have yourself to thank
你只能独自承担
Now what's the good of earnin'
赚取财富有何意义
With no time for spendin'
若没有时间享受
You know you're simply headed
你终将走向
For a horizontal endin'
永恒的安息
The richest guy in the graveyard
墓园里最富有的人
So daddy won't you please slow down
所以爸爸请你放慢脚步
You'll climb the golden gate to the graveyard
你将攀上通往墓地的金色大门
That gate is not so great
那扇门并不值得向往
You'll be the sleepiest creep
你会成为最困倦的可怜虫
Who's six feet deep
长眠于六尺之下
You'll find it out too late
当你明白时已为时太晚
I can't imagine how you can be a good lover
我无法想象你怎能成为称职的爱人
All wrapped around in brown
整日被金钱的枷锁束缚
With a five-ply cover
用五层厚的棺木
So take my tip and don't work hard
听我一句劝 别拼命工作
Then you'll delay that graveyard drive
这样你就能推迟驶向墓园的路
You'll be the richest guy in the graveyard
你终将成为墓园里最富有的人
Now just you wait and see
等着瞧吧
You'll be the honest goon
你会成为最老实的傻瓜
Who ever went too soon
过早离开人世
That ain't no use to me
这对我毫无意义
I'd rather be found
我宁愿被发现
On a flophouse bed
躺在破旧的床榻
Then down in the ground
也不愿长眠地下
With dirt on my head
被尘土掩埋
You'll be the richest guy in the graveyard
你终将成为墓园里最富有的人
So daddy won't you hear my please
所以爸爸 请听我恳求
Do me a favor and please
帮我一个忙 求你
Make out the will to me
把遗嘱留给我
