Talkin' Midtown Women - Jackie Greene
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Well Monday morning had me down
周一清晨令我消沉
By Tuesday evening I'd come around
周二傍晚才缓过神
Friday found me singing on the stage
周五站上舞台放声唱
Well I don't mind working late
我不介意加班到夜深
It keeps the beans on my plate
只为温饱能安稳
If it weren't for singing
若不是歌声相伴
I might be in the cage
恐早困在牢笼中
Now I got me a basement with a view
如今我有了带窗的地下室
And I can sleep till 12 past two
可以酣睡到午后两点
Some folks call me lazy some call me brave
有人说我懒惰 有人说我勇敢
But it don't matter anyway
但这些都无关紧要
We do our own things day to day
我们各自过着日常
I just ain't no one else's slave
我绝不做他人的奴仆
And all the while the world turns
当世界不停转动
With petty talk and lame concerns
充斥着琐碎闲言与无聊忧虑
And arguments over what you should believe
争论不休 各执己见
And all the while the world burns
而世界在燃烧
It's clear as day but nobody learns
真相昭然若揭 却无人领悟
Cause no one wants a cure for this disease
因为没人想要治愈这顽疾
Now I see women everywhere
如今我眼中尽是女子身影
On the street and on the stair
街头巷尾 楼梯转角
Sometimes it's so hard to keep my cool
有时真的难以保持冷静
Platinum blondes who've gone brunette
铂金发色染作深褐
And some who ain't decided yet
还有些人仍在迷茫徘徊
Lord sometimes they make me feel just like a fool
上帝啊 她们总让我觉得自己像个傻瓜
I know girls with strange tattoos
我认识纹着怪异刺青的姑娘
And I know girls who like their booze
也见过嗜酒如命的女孩
And I know girls who don't do nothing but cry
更知晓终日以泪洗面的女子
I know girls with plastic faces
我见过整容过度的面容
Their picture's on their pillowcases
她们把自拍印在枕套上
I know girls who live to love and lie
也见过为爱痴狂惯于说谎的芳魂
And everytime I turn around
每当我转身回望
Another grave is in the ground
又一座新坟落土安葬
They're selling all kinds of crap on my TV
电视里充斥着各种垃圾广告在播放
And everytime I turn around
每当我转身回望
Someone says they think they've found
总有人宣称已找到方向
The answer to some old mystery
能解开某个古老谜题的真相
Now outside the apartment gates
此刻公寓大门外旁
There's vanity on license plates
车牌上刻满虚荣张扬
And a dozen different kinds of coffee shops
街头咖啡馆琳琅满目
I go walking down that avenue
我漫步走过那条林荫路
Same as them same as you
和他们一样 也和你相同
Difference is my feet don't ever stop
唯独我脚步永不停驻
Now I know married girls who cheat
我见过已婚女子出轨
They say their lives are incomplete
抱怨生活残缺不完美
And I know girls who say they've been betrayed
也见过姑娘诉说被辜负
I know girls who speak of fate
还有深信宿命的信徒
And they don't ever hesitate
他们从不曾犹豫迟疑
They say life is made of moments being made
都说人生由无数瞬间编织
But come midnight it's all the same
可每当午夜降临 万物依旧如常
It melts into a picture frame
时光在相框里悄然消融
And suddenly everything's so clear
蓦然间 一切变得如此清晰
The night is cool the moon is tame
夜色沁凉 月色温柔
And there's nothing but some crazy dame
唯有某个疯癫姑娘相伴
It's always these d**n women that keep me here
总是这些恼人的红颜 将我羁留于此
Wintertimes my favorite time
冬日是我最爱的时节
I get to see old friends of mine
能与故人重逢叙旧
Everybody's running from the cold
众人皆在寒风中奔走
But I know someday it'll all be gone
但我知晓终有一日皆成空
When youth decides to pass me on
当青春决意离我而去
And time decides to turn my body old
当时光执意催我老朽
But I'll always love that cheap perfume
但我永远钟爱那廉价的芬芳
Messin' with my afternoons
午后时光总被打扰
And all those pretty women passing by
那些靓丽身影擦肩而过
We all sing the same old tune
我们哼着千篇一律的调子
Like the locals in the loud saloon
像酒馆里喧闹的常客
Just doing what were doing till we die
日复一日重复着生活轨迹
