Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out

Respect: A Century of Women in Music

Bessie Smith

歌词

Once I lived the life of a millionaire

我曾过着百万富翁的生活

Spending my money, I didn't care

毫不在意极侈穷奢

I carried my friends out for a good time

带上朋友出门恣意享乐

Bought bootleg liquor, champagne and wine

私酒香槟葡萄酒一并买下纵酒放歌

When I began to fall so low

之后我逐渐潦倒落魄

I didn't have a friend, and no place to go

挚友尽失无处可去

So if I get my hands on a dollar again

就算又只剩一美元在兜里

I'm gonna hold on to it 'til that old eagle grins

我也会紧攥到底("that eagle"指一美元背面那只不苟言笑的秃鹰故"till that eagle grins"意为“永远”)

Nobody knows you

穷困潦倒时

When you're down and out

你便藉藉无名

In my pocket, not one penny

口袋里空空如也

And my friends... I haven't any

挚友尽失

But if I ever get back on my feet again

若我东山再起

then I meet my long-lost friend

与我失散多年的"朋友"便再次相聚

it's mighty strange without a doubt,

这真真是令人啧啧称奇

Nobody knows you when you're down and out

穷困潦倒时你便藉藉无名

I mean when you're down and out

我是说在你穷困潦倒之际

Hmm... When you're down and out

穷困潦倒之际

Hmm...not one penny

一文不名

And my friends... I haven't any

挚友尽失

Hmm...when I feel so low

穷困潦倒时

Nobody wants me round the door

无人门前会留你

Hmm...without a doubt,

毋庸置疑

No man can use you when you 're down and out

穷困潦倒时无人能压榨利用你

I mean when you're down and out

我是说在你穷困潦倒之际
