State of Arkansas (Original Mix) - The Weavers
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Written By：The Weavers
My name is Charlie Brennan from Charleston I come
我名查理·布伦南 来自查尔斯顿城
I've traveled this wide world over some ups and downs I've had
漂泊四海尝尽人间 多少起伏沧桑
I've traveled this wide world over some ups and downs I've saw
走遍这广阔天地间 见过多少沉浮悲欢
But I never really knew what misery was till I hit old Arkansas
但直到踏入阿肯色 才知何为苦难深渊
Got off the train in Little rock in the middle of winter
隆冬时节小石城 我独自走下火车
Nobody there to extend to me his paw
无人向我伸出援手 哪怕半点温暖
Or bid me welcome to this State of Arkansas
更无人道半句欢迎 在这阿肯色荒原
And it was cold
寒风刺骨
I dodged behind the depot to dodge that blizzard wind
我躲在车站后 躲避暴风雪
I met a walking skeleton he said his name was Thomas Quinn
遇见形销骨立的托马斯·奎因
Well his hair hung down in rat-tails on his lean and lantern jaw
他须发蓬乱 瘦削脸庞凹陷
He invited me to his hotel he said it was the best in Arkansas
邀我去他号称阿肯色最棒的旅馆
I followed my conductor to his respective place
跟随引路人来到住处
Where pity and starvation were to be seen on every face
每张脸上都刻着饥馑与苦难
Well his bread it was corn dodger and his meat I could not chaw
玉米面包硬得难以下咽
But he charged me a half a dollar in the State of Arkansas
但在阿肯色州 他却收了我半块钱
And I went out and got me a job on a farm farming
我外出在农场找了份耕作活计
But I didn't care for the work or the farmer
却厌恶这差事 也看不上那农场主
Or his wife and none of his children
连同他妻儿 没一个顺眼
So I went up to him one day and I said
有天我上前对他说
Mister I'm gonna quit this job and you can just pay me off right now
先生我要辞职 你现在就结清工钱吧
He says Okay son if that's the way you feel about it
他说好吧孩子 既然你这么想
And he took me out in the barn and he handed me a mink skin
便带我进谷仓 递来一张水貂皮
I said I don't want this thing I want my money
我说我不要这玩意儿 我要我的工钱
For the work I've done
为我付出的劳动
He said Son you may not know it but mink's skin is
他说孩子你有所不知 如今这地方
What we're using for currency down here now
水貂皮就是流通的货币
So I took it when into town hunted up a place
我只好收下进城 寻了家酒馆
Put my mink skin up on the counter and turned
把貂皮往柜台上一放
If the bartender didn't toss me a pint
酒保竟只扔来一品脱酒
And he picked up my mink skin blowed the hair back on it
他拎起我的貂皮 吹开上面的浮毛
Put it under the counter fetched me out fourteen rabbit skins and
他把貂皮藏进柜台 却只给我十四张兔皮
Three possum hives for change
外加三个负鼠窝当零钱
I'm going to the Indian territory and live outside the law
我要去印第安领地 逍遥法外度余生
I'll bid farewell to the kin bricks in the State of Arkansas
就此告别阿肯色州的砖瓦故土
If you ever see me back again I'll give to you my paw
若他日重逢 我定与你握手言欢
But it'll be though a telescope from Hell to Arkansas
但那将隔着地狱到阿肯色的千里之遥
