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
