I went down to St. James Infirmary
我去往St. James医疗所
To see my baby there
去看我的宝贝女孩
She was lying on a long wooden table
她躺在了一张长长的木桌上
So cold so still so fair
身体冰冷 静静地躺着 但依旧那么可爱
I went up to see the doctor
我向医生询问她的病情
She's very low he said
医生说 她很虚弱
I went back to see my baby
我又回到我宝贝身边
Good God she's lying there dead
苍天啊 她就这样死气沉沉地躺在那
I went down old Joe's bar room
我去到广场角落处的
On the corner of the square
Old Joe's酒吧
They were serving the drinks as usual
他们像往常一样为客人提供酒水
And the usual crowd was there
也还是那一班常客
To my left stood Old Joe McKennedy
Old Joe McKennedy站在我左边
His eyes were bloodshot red
他的双眼充满红色的血丝
He turned to the crowd around him
他走进了围绕在他身边的人群里
And these are the words he said
他说了些话
Let her go let her go God bless her
放下她吧 上苍会保佑她的
Wherever she may be
无论她在何方
She could search this whole wide world over
她大可寻遍世界的每个角落
But she'll never find another man like me
但绝对找不到像我这么好的男人
She could search this whole wide world over
她大可寻遍世界的每个角落
But she'll never find another man like me
但绝对找不到像我这么好的男人
When I die please Lord bury me
在我离开人世时 请埋了我
In my ten-dollar Stetson hat
并给我戴上那10美金买的斯泰森毡帽
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain
再放一块价值20美金的金块在我手表链上
So my friends know I died standing pat
好让我朋友知道我是以自己的意愿死去的
Get six gamblers to carry my coffin
让6个赌鬼抬我的棺材
And six choir girls to sing me a song
再让6个唱诗班的女孩为我唱支赞歌
Stick a jazz band on my horsewagon
请一支爵士乐队在我的葬礼上
To raise hell as I go along
随着我的逝去大唱一番
Now that's the end of my story
这就是我故事的结局
Let's have another round of booze
来 再豪饮一轮
And if anyone should ask you
要是其他人问起你关于我的事
Just tell them I got the St. James Infirmary blues
你就跟他们说我的心早就死在St. James医疗所了
