You gentlemen can watch while I'm scrubbin the floor
你们可以看我擦地的时候
And I'm scrubbin' the floor while you're gawking
当你呆呆地望着我时我在擦地板
And maybe once you tipped me and it made you feel swell
也许有一次你给我小费让你感觉很开心
In a ratty waterfront in this ratty old hotel
在这破旧不堪的酒店里
But you'll never know to who you're talkin
可你永远不知道你在对谁说话
You never know to who you're talkin
你永远不知道你在跟谁说话
Suddenly one night there's a scream in the night
突然有一天夜里传来一声尖叫
And you yelled What the hell could that have been
你大叫道那是怎么回事
And you see me kinda grinnin while I'm scrubbin
你看我在擦洗时笑容满面
And you say What's she got to grin
你说她为什么要笑
And the ship a Black Freighter
这艘船就像一艘黑色货船
With a skull on its masthead will be comin in
报头上有个骷髅头的人会蜂拥而至
Then you gentlemen can say Hey girl finish the floors
然后你们可以说嘿姑娘把地板擦干净
Get upstairs make the beds earn your keep here
上楼去铺好床在这里挣钱养活自己
You toss me your tips and look out at the ships
你把小费扔给我小心地看着船
But I'm countin' your heads
可我数着你们的人头
While I make up the beds
当我整理床铺时
Cuz there's nobody gonna sleep here
因为这里没人睡觉
Tonight none of you will sleep here
今晚你们谁都别想睡在这里
Then that night there's a bang in the night
那一夜黑夜里枪声四起
And you yelled Who's that kicking up a row
你大叫道谁在捣乱
And ya see me kinda starin out the window
你看见我凝视着窗外
And you say What's she got to stare at now
你说她现在有什么好盯着看的
And the ship the Black Freighter
黑货船
Turns around in the harbor
在港口掉头
Shootin guns from the bow
从船头开始射击
Then you gentlemen can wipe off the laugh from your face
那你们就别再笑了
Every building in town is a flat one
镇上的每一栋楼都平平无奇
Your whole stinking place will be down to the ground
你那令人厌恶的地方会夷为平地
Only this cheap hotel standin' up safe and sound
只有这家廉价旅馆安然无恙
And you ask Why did they spare that one
你问为什么他们放过那个人
And you ask Why did they spare that one
你问为什么他们放过那个人
All the night through with the noise and to do
整晚都在嘈杂中度过
You wonder who's the person lives up there
你想知道上面住着谁
Then you see me steppin' out in the mornin
你看见我在清晨出门
Lookin' nice with a ribbon in my hair
我的头发扎上丝带看起来真好看
And the ship the Black Freighter
黑货船
Runs the flag up its masthead
让旗帜迎风飘扬
And a cheer rings the air
欢呼声震耳欲聋
By noontime the dock
到了中午码头
Is a' swarmin' with men
男人蜂拥而至
Comin' off of that ghostly freighter
从那艘鬼魅般的货船上下来
And they're movin' in the shadows
他们在黑暗中徘徊
Where no one can see
无人知晓的地方
And they're chainin' up people
他们把人们禁锢起来
And bringin' them to me
带他们来见我
Askin' me
问我
Kill them now or later
要么现在杀要么以后杀
Askin' me

Kill them now or later
要么现在杀要么以后杀
Noon by the clock
正午时分
And so still on the dock
所以我依然在码头上
You can hear the foghorn miles away
你可以在几英里之外听到雾号的声音
In that quiet of death
在死亡的寂静中
I'll say Right now
我会说此时此刻
Then they'll pile up the bodies
他们会把尸体堆起来
And I'll say That'll learn ya
我会说这会让你吸取教训
And the ship

Disappears out to sea and on it is me
