The Hostage - Tom Paxton
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I'm a guard in the great iron prison
我曾是钢铁监狱的守卫者
At least I was till now
至少在此刻之前还是
It was never a picnic social
这份工作从来不是野餐会
Never a date
更谈不上享受
They never come in laughing
囚犯们从不带着笑容进来
And you know they never taught them how
你也知道没人教过他们微笑
It was damn hard work
这是份苦差事
And you wouldn't believe the pay
而薪酬低得难以置信
It was early in the morning lord
那是个清晨时分 主啊
I wasn't but a half awake
我还未完全清醒
When the cons went nuts
囚犯突然发狂
And took us by surprise
打得我们措手不及
I never was one for shaking
我向来镇定自若
But I found it hard to stand
此刻却双腿发软
With a six-inch blade held right
六寸利刃寒光
Between my eyes
直抵我的眉心
We could hear a siren blowing
警笛声刺破长空
Somebody yelled in pain
有人痛苦哀嚎
Then it got so quiet
随后死寂降临
You could hear a bird walk by
连飞鸟振翅都清晰可闻
They all had masks on their faces
他们戴着狰狞面具
Spoke with a voice of cain
声音如该隐般阴冷
If they come in shooting
若他们持枪闯入
Know you're bound to die
你必死无疑
If they come in shooting
若他们持枪闯入
Know you're bound to die
你必死无疑
Well I turned to a buddy named Willie
我转向名叫威利的同伴
I said Willie it'll be all right
说一切都会没事
If they meant to kill us
若真要取我们性命
We'd be half way down to hell
此刻早该命丧黄泉
See they high-jacked a plane in the dessert
看他们在荒漠劫持飞机
And the government screamed and cries
政府只能哭喊哀嚎
But to save some lives
为了挽救生命
They opened up a prison cell
他们打开了牢房大门
So the days kept coming and going
日子一天天过去
Tension was getting high
紧张气氛不断升级
But I wasn't too worried
但我并不太担心
I figured I knew the score
自以为掌控全局
I knew they were talking to someone
我知道他们在密谋
I knew they were willing to try
也明白他们蠢蠢欲动
So I figured my freedom was a matter of
原以为重获自由不过
A day or two more
再等一两天的事
But Jesus early this morning
但今晨天刚破晓
The whirlybird dropped the gas
直升机就投下毒气
It made me puke and it
呛得我呕吐不止
Brought me to my knees
跪倒在地
The bullets came like hail-stones
子弹如冰雹般袭来
I heard the first ones pass
第一梭擦过耳际
Then they cut down Willie
他们击倒了威利
And they got Jim kelly and me
又抓住了吉姆·凯利和我
They cut down Willie
他们击倒了威利
And they got Jim kelly and me
又抓住了吉姆·凯利和我
They come in yelling curses
他们叫骂着冲进来
Like they were caught in the river rhine
仿佛被困在莱茵河畔
Shot down every god damned thing they saw
见什么就开枪
And while I lay they wounded
当我倒下时他们又补了一枪
I took another one in my spine
子弹再次贯穿我的脊梁
Poor Jim kelly took another one in his jaw
可怜的吉姆·凯利 下巴又中一弹
Oh poor Jim kelly took another one in his jaw
哦可怜的吉姆·凯利 下巴又中一弹
They say we had our throats cut
据说我们的喉咙
By a band of desperate men
被亡命之徒割开
Say they saved as many of us as they could
他们说已尽力救下多数人
Well the governor he should now it
州长大人该明白这一切
But I think I'll say it again
但我要再说一遍
That the governor cut my throat
是州长割断了我的喉咙
And he cut it good
狠狠地割了一刀
Let them take the governor
让他们抓走州长
Hold him for a couple of days
关他个几天
See who goes in shooting to set him free
看看谁会开枪来救他
Hell they'll open every jail in the country
他们定会打开全国监狱
Send them on their way
放走所有囚犯
They'd never do to him
他们永远不会那样对待他
What the governor done to me
像州长对我所做的那样
They'd never do to him
他们永远不会那样对待他
What the governor done to me
像州长对我所做的那样
