以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
East Indian princess lives in a western dream
东方印度公主生活在西方的梦境中
Happy like a child her mother is a queen
她像孩子般快乐 母亲是女王
You know she's safe as a cow on a Calcutta street
你知道她像加尔各答街头的牛一样安全
This English way of life has got that other life beat
这种英国生活方式已胜过另一种生活
And reading magazines she sits in straight backed chairs
她坐在直背椅上阅读杂志
She's got a common welfare she's got a queen that cares
她享有普通的福利 有一位关怀她的女王
She's got meat on her bones she doesn't starve at least
她丰衣足食 至少不会挨饿
Not like the folks back home not like the folks back east
不像家乡的人们 不像东方的人们
Yeah but this Indian is English no matter how she tries
是的,但这位印度姑娘无论如何努力,她依然是英国人
You know the sari and the sandals it's just a bad disguise
你知道,纱丽和凉鞋只是一种拙劣的伪装
She got a mark on her forehead she got a stud in her nose
她额头上有印记,鼻子上戴着鼻钉
Yeah but this Indian is English and I'm afraid it shows
是的,但这位印度姑娘是英国人,我恐怕这显而易见
'Cause you can see her at Wimpey's and on a movie queue line
因为你能在快餐店和电影院的队伍中看到她
Her river's not the Ganges it is the serpentine
她的河流不是恒河,而是蛇形湖
She got the western princess she got the western pain
她拥有西方的公主身份,也承受着西方的痛苦
She got the western mind that girl has gone insane
她拥有西方的思想,那个女孩已经迷失了自我
