Genius - Warren Zevon
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I've got a bitter pot of je ne sais quoi
心中翻涌着难言的苦涩滋味
Guess what--I'm stirring it with a monkey's paw
看我用猴爪搅动这嫉妒的毒药
Since I saw you coming out of my barber's shop
自从撞见你从理发店走出来的那刻
In that skimpy little halter top
穿着那件轻佻的露背小衫
Did you light the candles Did you put on Kind of Blue
是否点燃蜡烛 是否放着忧郁蓝调
Did you use that Ivy League voodoo on him too
是否也对那家伙施展常春藤巫术
He thinks he'll be alright but he doesn't know for sure
他自以为安然无恙却浑然不觉
Like every other unindicted coconspirator
就像每个逍遥法外的共谋者
Mata Hari had a house in France
玛塔·哈丽在法国有座宅邸
Where she worked on all her secret plans
她在那里策划着所有秘密计划
Men were falling for her sight unseen
男人们未见其人便已倾心
She was a genius
她是个天才
There's a a face in every window of the Songwriters' Neighborhood
每个词曲作者的窗前都映着面孔
Everybody's your best friend when you're doing well--I mean good
当你春风得意时 人人都称兄道弟
The poet who lived next door when you were young and poor
那个曾与你比邻而居的穷诗人
Grew up to be a backstabbing entrepreneur
长大后成了背后捅刀的企业家
Albert Einstein was a ladies' man
爱因斯坦也曾风流倜傥
While he was working on his universal plan
当他潜心研究宇宙法则时
He was making out like Charlie Sheen
却像查理·辛般纵情欢场
He was a genius
他终究是天才
When you dropped me and you staked your claim
当你抛弃我另攀高枝
On a V I P who could make your name
傍上能让你声名鹊起的贵宾
You latched on to him and I became
你紧紧依附于他 而我沦落为
A minor inconvenience
微不足道的绊脚石
Your protégé don't care about art
你那位门徒根本不懂艺术真谛
I'm the one who always told you you were smart
只有我始终坚信你才华横溢
You broke my heart into smithereens
你将我的心碾作齑粉散落一地
And that took genius
这何尝不是种残忍的天赋异能
You and the barber make a handsome pair
你和理发师倒真是般配至极
Guess what--I never liked the way he cut your hair
其实我从未欣赏他为你修剪的发型
I didn't like the way he turned your head
更厌恶他轻易扭转你心意的把戏
But there's nothing I can do or say I haven't done or said
可所有劝阻早已耗尽 我还能如何言语
Everybody needs a place to stand
每个人都需要立足之地
And a method for their schemes and scams
也需要施展诡计的伎俩
If I could only get my record clean
若我能洗清过往污点
I'd be a genius
我定是天才无疑
