歌词
I'll miss the quarter, the magnolias
我会怀念法语区的繁华(Quarter指新奥尔良繁华的French Quarter)
And the Pontchartrain
庞恰特雷恩湖畔的木兰花
And the french market on a Saturday
周六的法国集市
I'll miss the feel of this place
我会怀念这里生活的愉快
I'll miss the bayou sunrise
我会怀念河边的日出景象
The Mardi Gras and the second lines
“油腻周二”嘉年华 铜管乐队的游行
Bourbon jazz, sidewalk kids
酒吧街的爵士乐 人行道旁嬉闹的孩子
With bottlecap taps dancing for tips
戴着棒球帽 跳着踢踏舞赚点闲钱
But I'm leaving New Orleans
但我就要离开新奥尔良了
There's too much of you in this town
这小镇处处都是你们的身影
Your memories like moss in the trees
有关你们的回忆 早就像苔藓一样爬满了我的心房
Every corner it's just hanging around
每个转角 我们都曾在那里闲逛
Well the Big Easy ain't so easy
“好轻松”似乎也不那么轻松了(Big Easy为新奥尔良的别称)
Hard to say it but baby come morning
虽然这话很难说出口 但亲爱的请你一起来
I'll be rolling like the Mississippi
我会像密西西比河一样狂放不羁
Leaving New Orleans

Well I like highways so maybe LA
我甚是喜欢高速公路上飙车的快感
Is the place for me
也许洛杉矶的快节奏生活更适合我
If I point these wheels

T'wards a Hollywood sign

All those miles can clear my mind
也许这漫漫长路可以清理清理我的思绪
Well I can watch a horse race

On some blue grass
在这蓝草音乐的发源地
Where the bourbon's made
在这盛产波旁烈酒的城市
Get some rays in the sunshine state
在这遍地阳光的地方 感受热情的温度
Hit Seattle if I need a little rain
