Little Man - Andreas Silver/Jackson/Alan Jackson (阿兰·杰克逊)
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I remember walkin' 'round the court square sidewalk
我记得曾在法院广场的人行道上漫步
Lookin' in windows at things I couldn't want
透过橱窗看着那些我无法拥有的东西
There's Johnson's hardware and Morgan's jewelry
那里有约翰逊的五金店和摩根的首饰店
And the old Lee King's apothecary
还有老李金的药房
They ware the little man the little man
他们是那些小人物 那些小人物
I go back now and the stores are empty
如今我回去 那些商店都已空无一人
Except for an old coke sign dated 1950
只剩下一个1950年的老可乐招牌
Boarded up like they never existed
被木板封住 仿佛它们从未存在过
Or renovated and called historic districts
或者翻新后被称为历史街区
There goes the little man there goes the little man
小人物走了 小人物走了
Now the court square's just a set of streets
如今法院广场只是一组街道
That the people go round but they seldom think
人们走过却很少思考
'Bout the little man that built this town
关于那些建设这个小镇的小人物
Before the big money shut them down
在大资本将他们关闭之前
And killed the little man oh the little man
小人物消失了 哦 小人物
He pumped your gas and he cleaned your glass
他为你加油 他为你擦窗
And one cold rainy night he fixed your flat
在一个寒冷的雨夜 他帮你修好了轮胎
The new stores came where you do it yourself
新商店来了 你开始自己动手
You buy a lotto ticket and food off the shelf
你买了彩票和货架上的食物
Forget the little man forget about that little man
忘记了那个小人物 忘记了那个小人物
He hung on there for a few more years
他坚持了几年
But he couldn't sell Slurpees he wouldn't sell beer
但他卖不了思乐冰 也不愿卖啤酒
Now the bank rents the station to a man down the road
现在银行把加油站租给了路边的一个人
And they sell velvet Elvis and second-hand clothes
他们卖着天鹅绒的猫王画像和二手衣服
There goes the little man there goes another little man
那个小人物走了 又一个离开了
Now the court square's just a set of streets
如今法院广场只是一组街道
That the people go 'round but they seldom think
人们匆匆走过 却很少想起
'Bout the little man that built this town
关于那些建设这个小镇的小人物
Before the big money shut them down
在大资本将他们关闭之前
And killed the little man the little man
那些小人物 那些小人物
Now the stores are lined up in a concrete strip
如今商店整齐排列在混凝土街区
You can buy the whole world in just one trip
你只需一次购物就能买下整个世界
And save a penny 'cause it's jumbo size
为了省钱,他们选择了大包装
They don't even realize
他们甚至没有意识到
They're killin' the little man oh the little man
他们正在扼杀那些小人物,哦,那些小人物
Now the court square's just a set of streets
如今法院广场只是一组街道
That the people go 'round but they seldom think
人们匆匆走过 却很少想起
'Bout the little man that built this town
关于那些建设这个小镇的小人物
Before the big money shut them down
在大资本将他们关闭之前
And killed the little man oh the little man
小人物消失了 哦 小人物
It wasn't long ago when I was a child
就在不久之前,我还是个孩子
An old black man came with his mule and his plow
一位老黑人带着他的骡子和犁来到这里
He broke the ground where we grew our garden
他开垦了土地,我们种下了花园
Back before we'd all forgotten
在那时,我们还未曾遗忘
About the little man the little man
那些小人物,那些小人物
Long live the little man
愿小人物长存
God bless the little man
愿上帝保佑小人物
