It's Just A Thing - Kurt Elling
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I always told them that the story really started in the ditch
我总说故事始于铁轨旁的沟渠
At the side of the tracks and that the details
那些我曾发誓永不透露的细节
Which I promised never to reveal to anyone
如同所有秘密般令人痛苦震惊
Are painful and shocking as the details often are
但真相是克莱文杰确实遗忘了
But the fact of the matter is The Clevenger did forget
如今他已离世
And now he's dead
或许此刻终该由我
So perhaps the time is finally come for me
来讲述这个尘封的故事
To tell the tale and have done with it
一吐为快
It was late December and I hadn't seen the swings for weeks
十二月的尾声 我已数周未见秋千踪影
Usually it wouldn't bother me too much
往常这并不会让我太过困扰
But the downstirs kin had begun the mark of the hypocrits
但楼下亲族已烙上伪善者的印记
Having dug the prime number once too often
他们挖掘质数的次数实在过多
They were jonzing for a heay dose of Marsharn
渴望着来剂猛烈的马夏恩
And I'm afraid I was gonna take the fall
恐怕我将成为替罪羔羊
If I didn't raise the paper in a hurry
若不赶紧筹集那笔钱款
It was only 1:00 or 2:00 so I decided to head out
此刻不过凌晨一两点 我决定动身出发
On my broom and sweep the city clean
骑着扫帚清扫整座城市
Until I had fully dug the destiny of my swingie swing
直到我彻底探寻到Swing的命运轨迹
To see if she'd realized the neutral catergories of error
想看看她是否意识到那些错误的分类
Or simply goofed to Whig City
还是单纯迷失在辉格城
If so I knew it was gonna be a sad drag from here on out
若真如此 我知道从此将是悲伤的拖行
First off I made for the Tabby Apple:
首先我前往斑纹苹果：
A jive-box straight out of night gallery
一个来自夜间画廊的自动点唱机
Where sweaty couples writhed under heat lamps
汗流浃背的情侣在热灯下缠绵
To the crazy lumbering rhythms of the band
随着乐队疯狂摇摆的节奏
That dressed in frilly fushia toxedoes and
他们穿着艳丽的紫红燕尾服
Sounded like Dessi Aness on some kind of psychedelic bally
迷幻舞厅里传来迪斯科的律动
Thirteen was behide the bar and I sounded him
酒保十三号站在吧台后
To dig if he had seen the swing lately
我问他是否见过Swing姑娘
But he couldn't recall right away
他却一时想不起来
So I drew him a picture but he couldn't hear it
我画出她的模样 他却充耳不闻
I decided to swoop the scene and
我决定离开这个场景
Fly to Wicker Swing's old neighborhood
飞往威克·斯温的旧街区
There zero in on a club called the Magneto
锁定一家名为"磁铁"的俱乐部
Where I'd heard they'd served a drink
听说那里供应一款特调
Swing evented called the pilot light
斯温发明的"引航灯"鸡尾酒
A sweet little taste at first but a brain bender later on
初尝甜美后劲却令人眩晕
Hard enough to take any chump chumpy enough
足以让任何莽撞尝试的傻瓜
To try it straight to the burning in ash to bulla brigde
瞬间燃烧成灰飘向布拉桥
That was when I bumped into 47 Old 47
就在那时我撞见了47号 老47号
Tanked up on the Bean as usual and
如常沉醉在豆子香气中
Feeling no pain from the ********
感受不到那些******的痛苦
He'd had the for lunch that day lit up like a fuse
那天午餐后他像引线般兴奋
At the mention of Swing's tang and vowed safe
一提起Swing的魅力就发誓保证
To me that he had the bushy tail to come along
对我说他有十足把握跟随
Now I knew that 47 had long since relegated
我知道47号早已将
His routine synapse dos to the thriteenth
日常神经传导素放逐到
Quadrant of his subconscios mind
潜意识深处的第十三象限
But he never wigged on me
但他从未对我起疑心
And I knew if I flopped in a puddle three feet deep
我知道若我跌入三英尺深的泥潭
Somewhere along the way he might just be
或许在这条路的某处他刚好就是
The worthy stud to help pull me out and wipe off the gin
那个能拉我出来擦干琴酒的英勇骑士
I said I think I hear the fat lady 47 concured
我说我仿佛听见胖女士的歌声 47号附和道
Explicitly and we tuned out
我们心领神会地调转方向
On the way out we nearly tripped over an alley cat
离开时差点被巷子里的猫绊倒
Blowing his modes for chomp change
它正为讨些零钱卖力表演
Mama always told me to stay away from a man
妈妈总告诫我远离那些男人
In his modal stage so I made like I was fresh out of paper
在他癫狂状态时 我假装刚耗尽纸张
In hopes that the troll would let us pass without the toll -
期盼那个怪物能免收过路费放我们通行
But he was hip to the scene and began writing rumshots
但他看穿把戏 开始写些胡言乱语
At a moments notice He took a drive
瞬息之间 他驾车远去
Hit a ghost lost his head and now he's toast
撞见幽灵丢了脑袋 如今已成灰烬
Later we dug from Shorty George that the cat
后来我们从矮子乔治那儿打听到
Had bugged to the way outisphere some years
那家伙多年前就逃往外层空间
Ago so no mayor cope out there thank god
感谢上帝 我们终于逃离了那个鬼地方
We decided to stop in at the dinner grill and
决定在路边小餐馆稍作停留
Dig Marty and Steve and the baldy dinner head crowd
遇见了马蒂、史蒂夫和那群光头食客
Shooting craps over the last few slices of the day's hamhocks
他们正用最后几片火腿骨玩骰子
'Here we divvided the plunder' cried Hewy
"来分赃吧"休伊高声喊道
'As a young girl goes to the bridal chamber'
"就像少女步入新婚洞房"
Billie Est replied
比利·埃斯特回应道
'So go I to the grill with this tasty morsel '
"不如带着这份美味去烧烤架"
Pork went up and smacked them both
猪先生突然出现 狠狠教训了他们
For brutalizing the species
为他们对生灵的残忍暴行
Suddenly in walked Swing
就在这时Swing翩然而至
And gassed the whole sphere with her indelible groovitude
用她永恒的魅力 让整个空间为之倾倒
'
Bonseir Keskies' said she
"晚上好，亲爱的"她说道
'It's sunset time and I've got the moon chariot to prove it'
"日落时分已至 我有月亮战车为证"
I dug through the icing glass the sweetest little ride
我穿过糖霜玻璃 找到了最甜蜜的座驾
I'd ever seen Swing smiled that sly smile of hers
我从未见过 Swing露出她狡黠的微笑
And we tuned out It's been that way ever since
我们沉醉其中 从此便一直如此
Just swing 47 and moi in a beauty spin
只需摇摆 47号与我 在美妙的旋转中
All across the hippisphere
穿越整个嬉皮世界
Never mind the kin we are gone kith solid gone
别在意那些亲戚 我们已远走高飞 彻底消失
