The Hooker (LP Version) - Tom Paxton
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Where do you go at night
你夜晚去向何方
Where do you go at night
你夜晚去向何方
Wrapped in your cheap cologne
裹挟着劣质香水的气味
Where do you go at night
你夜晚去向何方
Down to the pit with the stinking air
踏入那污浊不堪的深渊
And the smell of the sweat
汗水与腐朽交织
And the death is there
死亡如影随形
I dance for a dollar
为一美元起舞
And I dance for a dime
我为铜板起舞
Till their eyes are begging
直到他们眼神乞求
And their pockets are mine
将钱包尽数掏空
I pick a body and I name my fee
挑选躯体 明码标价
I take their money and they take me
他们付钱 我付出自己
That's where I go at night
那是我夜夜归宿
That's where I go at night
那是我夜夜归宿
Don't point your finger
别用手指指点点
Say your prayers at me
向我祈祷吧
The truth is hard but I'm gonna tell it
真相残酷 但我必须说出口
Ah there's a whole lot of ways to sell it
啊 有太多方式可以出卖自己
How do you spend your days
你如何度过每一天
How do you spend your days
你如何度过每一天
When you can sleep no more
当你无法再入眠
How do you spend your days
你如何度过每一天
I rise at four in the afternoon
我在午后四点醒来
I take a match and the kitchen spoon
我拿起火柴和厨房的勺子
I wrap my arm in an old necktie
用旧领带缠住我的手臂
And I find religion on the very first try
第一次尝试就找到了信仰
I wash my face and I comb my hair
我洗脸梳头
My looks are going but I just don't care
容颜渐逝却毫不在意
And that's how I spend my days
这就是我度日的方式
That's how I spend my days
这就是我度日的方式
Don't point your finger
别用手指指点点
Say your prayers at me

Where do you find your love

Where do you run to him

Where do you find your love

I find my love in an old hotel
我在破旧旅馆中找到我的爱
He's mean and wicked and he knows me well
他残忍恶毒 却深知我心
He takes my body he takes my mind
他占有我的身体 支配我的灵魂
Takes my money and he beats me blind
榨干我的钱财 将我打得昏沉
Says he'll help me but he won't say when
空许诺言相助 却从不兑现时分
Sends me walking on the streets again
又将我推回街头 继续沉沦
And that's where I find my love
这就是我寻得"爱"的地方
That's where I find my love
这就是我寻得"爱"的地方

How will you spend your life
你将如何度过这一生
How will you spend your life
你将如何度过这一生
While ladies play at cards
当女人们在牌桌上虚度光阴
How will you spend your life
你将如何度过这一生
Lying in a circle of velvet rooms
蜷缩在丝绒房间的圈套里
Dying in six inch carpet tombs
垂死在六寸地毯的坟墓中
Hiding in the gutter with the aching pains
藏身阴沟与蚀骨疼痛为伴
Trading the years for the aching veins
用青春交换发黑的针眼
Dying at last when the tricks are few
当恩客渐稀终将凋零
And I can't get action from a john like you
连你都吝啬施舍温存
Ah that's how I spend my life
这就是我的一生啊
That's how I spend my life
这就是我腐烂的一生
Don't point your finger
别用手指指点点
Say your prayers at me
向我祈祷吧
The truth is hard but I'm gonna tell it
真相残酷 但我必须说出口
Ah there's a whole lot of ways to sell it
啊 有太多方式可以出卖自己
