歌词
Crocodile Rock
鳄鱼摇滚
Elton John
埃尔顿·约翰
大鸟倾情奉献
作词:Elton John
I remember when rock was young
我还能回想起那时 摇滚乐渐渐风靡
Me and Suzie had so much fun
我与苏茜快乐无限
holding hands and skimming stones
手牵着手 湖边打着水上漂
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own
驾驶着一辆1958年产的淡金色雪佛兰 且拥有一个天堂般的私人地盘
But the biggest kick I ever got
但那些在鳄鱼摇滚(青年人成排成列的摇)前
was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock
都不值一提
While the other kids were Rocking Round the Clock
当那些孩子在整日操着摇滚范时(装模作样)
we were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock
我们正真真切切地跟着旋律放肆摇摆
[Chorus]
鳄鱼摇滚啊 就是一种直击灵魂的东西
Well Crocodile Rocking is something shocking
你的双脚无法抗拒地舞动
when your feet just can't keep still
大概没有比这更好的感觉了
I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will
(Lord的美式口语用法)上帝啊 妈妈咪呀 这些疯狂的周五夜啊
Oh Lawdy mama those Friday nights
而当苏茜换上紧身裙时(无法放开,紧身裙多为礼服,暗示着苏茜的成熟)
when Suzie wore her dresses tight
虽然裙子能勾勒出她迷人的曲线 但鳄鱼摇滚的好戏再也无法上演了
and the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight
(Elton is screaming)
la.....
时过境迁 摇滚已死(摇滚乐爱与和平的圣光在70年代幻灭,且风格明显分化为朋克金属等)
But the years went by and the rock just died
苏茜离开了我们 去了异国他乡(英国摇滚歌手成为美国市场主流)
Suzie went and left us for some foreign guy
我听以前的唱片时总会想起她 以泪洗面
Long nights crying by the record machine
想象着将来有一天穿着蓝色牛仔裤的她再一次出现在我的雪佛兰上
dreaming of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
美好的回忆是不会消逝的
But they'll never kill the thrills we've got
鳄鱼摇滚的快感无可比拟
burning up to the Crocodile Rock
我们在每次派对上都学到了很多舞姿
Learning fast as the weeks went past
我们真的以为鳄鱼摇滚会永远流行下去
we really thought the Crocodile Rock would last
鳄鱼摇滚啊 就是一种直击灵魂的东西
[Chorus]
你的双脚无法抗拒地舞动
Well Crocodile Rocking is something shocking
大概没有比这更好的感觉了
when your feet just can't keep still
上帝啊 妈妈咪呀 这些疯狂的周五夜啊
I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will
而当苏茜换上紧身裙时
Oh Lawdy mama those Friday nights
鳄鱼摇滚的好戏再也无法上演了
when Suzie wore her dresses tight
(Elton is screaming)
and the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight
我还能回想起那时 摇滚乐渐渐风靡
