歌词
You get a shiver in the dark
你在黑暗中打了个寒颤
It's raining in the park but meantime
公园里正下着雨,但同时
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
你在河的南岸抱着所有的东西停了下来
A band is blowing Dixie double four time
酒馆里正吹着四四拍的南方小调
You feel alright when you hear that music ring
你听着这旋律,感到轻松惬意
You step inside but you don't see too many faces
于是你走进去,却发现没多少人
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
避一避雨,听爵士缓缓流淌
Too much competition too many other places
其他地方也有爵士
But not too many horns can make that sound
但并不像这里的声音好听
Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town
一路向南,南下到伦敦
You check out Guitar George he knows all the chords
你看看吉他手乔治,他知道所有的和弦
Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing
他严格按照节奏来,并不在意花哨的技巧
And an old guitar is all he can afford
他能买得起的只有一把旧吉他
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing
当他起身在灯下演奏他的吉他时
And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
哈利并不在意他是否引人注目
He's got a daytime job he's doing alright

With the Sultans with the Sultans of Swing
和苏丹,和苏丹摇摆乐队演奏
And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner
一群年轻男孩儿在角落里鬼混
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
喝得烂醉,穿着他们最好的棕色灯笼裤和高底鞋
They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band
他们不在乎任何吹小号的乐队
It ain't what they call rock and roll
那不是他们所谓的摇滚
And the Sultans played Creole
苏丹演奏完克里奥尔的歌曲
And the man he steps right up to the microphone
然后有个人走到麦克风前
And says at last just as the time bell rings
最后道别,这时钟声正好响起
'Thank you goodnight now it's time to go home'
谢谢你们,晚安,该回家了
And he makes it fast with one more thing
然后他又快速地补充了一句
'We are the Sultans of Swing'
我们是苏丹摇摆乐队
