The Reel in the Flickering Light - Christy Moore
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
As I was walking home one evenin'
当我某夜漫步归家时
I know this takes some believin'
这故事或许难以置信
I met a group of creatures
我遇见一群奇特生物
With the strangest lookin' features
它们样貌古怪又新奇
A poor old dove and a worm in the **
有哀伤老鸽与蠕动的**
And a fine old pigeon yes indeed
还有优雅老鸽确实如此
A daddy longlegs jumpet sprite
长腿蜘蛛轻盈跃动
As he danced to the reel in the flickering light
在摇曳微光中翩然起舞
Oh round we go heel to the toe
我们转着圈 脚跟碰脚尖
And the daddy longlegs jumpet sprite
长腿蜘蛛轻盈跳跃
As he danced to the reel in the flickering light
在摇曳微光中翩然起舞
On his thin and wispy spindles
细长纤弱的肢节舒展
He was deft and he was nimble
他灵巧又敏捷
His eyes were scientific
眼神透着智慧光芒
And his dancing was terrific
舞姿更是令人惊叹
And the rats and worms they made a din
老鼠与虫儿喧嚣不停
And the nettles in the corners took it in
角落里的荨麻静静聆听
"Oh God" says I"Tonight's the night"
"天啊"我叹道"今夜正是良辰"
"We'll dance to the reel in the flickering light"
"让我们在摇曳微光中跳起里尔舞"
Oh round we go heel to the toe
我们转着圈 脚跟碰脚尖
"Oh God" says I"tonight's the night
"天啊"我叹道"今夜正是良辰
We'll dance to the reel in the flickering light"
让我们在摇曳微光中跳起里尔舞"
Then he looked at me directly
这时他直直望向我
With a gaze that could dissect me
那目光仿佛能将我穿透
Then he asked me in a whisper
他压低声音向我发问
"Have you got any sisters"
"你可有姐妹相伴"
"Oh God almighty" says I to him
"老天在上"我如是回应
"What sort of a man d'you think I am
"你当我是何等人物
I've only one she's not your type
我仅有的妹妹不合你意
She wouldn't dance the reel in the flickering light"
她不愿在摇曳微光里起舞"
So round we go heel to the toe
我们就这样旋转 足尖相抵
"I've only one she's not your type
"我只有一个她 不合你心意"
She wouldn't dance a reel in the flickering light"
"她不愿在微光下跳旋转舞"
Says he:
他说:
"Does she come from another planet
"她是否来自异星"
Does she got a bee in her bonnet
"她是否戴着古怪的帽子"
Does she do her daily duties
"她是否循规蹈矩"
You never know we might be suited"
"说不定我们很般配"
And the rats and the worms began in to laugh
老鼠和蠕虫们开始哄笑
And some of them started shufflin' off
有些家伙开始摇摆着离开
We're goin' to have some fun tonight
今晚我们要尽情狂欢
Getting ready for the reel in the flickering light
在摇曳的灯光下准备起舞
Oh round we go heel to the toe
我们转着圈 脚跟碰脚尖
We're goin' to have some fun tonight
今晚我们要尽情狂欢
Getting ready for the reel in the flickering light
在摇曳的灯光下准备起舞
I could see he had no scruples
当我凝视他的瞳孔时
When I looked into his pupils
看出他毫无顾忌
They were purple or magenta
它们身披紫红霞光
Like a statue during lent
宛若四旬斋的圣像
I said"I'll get her right away"
我应道"这就唤她同往"
"Good man" says he"now don't delay"
"好伙计"它说"切莫彷徨"
We're going to have some fun tonight
今宵共舞欢畅
And he flicked his legs in the flickering light
长腿在摇曳灯影中飞扬
Oh round we go heel to the toe
我们转着圈 脚跟碰脚尖
We're goin' to have some fun tonight
今晚我们要尽情狂欢
And he flicked his legs in the flickering light
长腿在摇曳灯影中飞扬
Then up stepped a red carnation
这时一朵红康乃馨翩然登场
And they gave her an ovation
众生为她献上热烈欢呼
She was warm and enchatin'
她温暖迷人令人沉醉
As she slowly started dancin'
随着她缓缓起舞
And the wise old pigeon peeled his eye
睿智的老鸽子眯起眼睛
And the nettles and the **s began to sigh
荨麻与**们发出叹息
Daddy longlegs said"my-oh-my
长腿蜘蛛惊叹"天啊天
Are we ready for the reel in the flickering light"

And I heard him call her"darlin'

He was graceful as a whisper

On his delicate legs of silver
银色的细腿轻盈曼妙
And the rats and worms were still as mice
老鼠和虫子都安静如鼠
And the poor old pigeon said"That's nice"
可怜的老鸽子说"真美妙"
