歌词
Johannesburg! Johannesburg! Johannesburg!
约翰内斯堡！
I'd like to do a most disgusting song for you
《最令人厌恶的歌》送给你们
I've played every kind of gig there is to play now
如此这般的演出我已玩遍了
I've played faggot bars, hooker bars, motorcycle funerals
我在同志酒吧，情色酒吧，葬礼车队进行表演
In opera houses, concert halls, halfway houses
剧院，音乐厅，小客栈也不曾缺席
Well I found that in all these places that I've played
但我发现这些我演出过的地方
All the people that I've played for are the same people
所有我为之表演的人们，不过是一丘之貉
So if you'll listen, maybe you'll see someone you know in this song
你会发现一些熟悉的身影，如果你愿意附耳倾听
A most disgusting song
这首最讨人嫌恶的歌
The local diddy bop pimp comes in
本地的皮条客大摇大摆的走来
Acting limp he sits down with a grin
扮成跛子的模样嬉笑着坐下
Next to a girl that has never been chased
在他身旁的是一位懵懂的少女
The bartender wipes a smile off his face
酒保脸上的笑容一扫而光
The delegates cross the floor
议员们来来回回
Curtsy and promenade through the doors
行着礼，逡巡在房间与走廊
And slowly the evening begins
夜幕也缓缓降临
And there's Jimmy "Bad Luck" Butts
那位是被称为“厄运之臀”的吉米
Who's just crazy about them East Lafayette weekend sluts
他正为东拉斐特的周末女郎们痴狂
Talking is the lawyer in crumpled up shirt
一个穿着褶皱衬衫的律师在不停讲话
And everyone's drinking the detergents
每个人都在喝着烈酒
That cannot remove their hurts
但这并不能洗去他们的苦痛与悲怆
While the Mafia provides your drugs
当黑手党向你推销毒品
Your government will provide the shrugs
你的政府视而不见
And your national guard will supply the slugs
军队和他们沆瀣一气
So they sit all satisfied
大家“皆大欢喜”
And there's old playboy Ralph
那位是老浪子拉尔夫
Who's always been shorter than himself
他总是佝偻着背
And there's a man with his chin in his hand
那个用手摸着下巴的男人
Who knows more than he'll ever understand
他知道的恐怕比他所能理解的更多
Yeah, every night it's the same old thing
是啊，每天晚上都是老样子
Getting high, getting drunk, getting horny
花天酒地，纸醉金迷
At the Inn-Between, again
一晚接着一晚
And there's the bearded schoolboy with the wooden eyes
那个留着胡子的，眼神木讷的男生
Who at every scented skirt whispers up and sighs
对着每条芬芳的短裙低语叹息
And there's a teacher that will kiss you in French
那位举手投足像个法国人的老师
Who could never give love, could only fearfully clench
只会紧紧的控制你，而不会给你丝毫的爱意
Yeah, people every night it's the same old thing
是啊，每天晚上都是这样
Getting pacified, ossified, affectionate at Mr. Flood's party, again
人们温柔沉醉，差堪自慰，最终变得无趣乏味，就在这弗拉德先生的舞会
And there's the militant with his store-bought soul
那是个激进派，和他那商店买来的的灵魂
There's someone here who's almost a virgin I've been told
还有那个老处女，很久以前她就是了
And there's Linda glass-made who speaks of the past
那是玻璃心的琳达，她还在絮叨着过去的事
Who genuflects, salutes, signs the cross and stands at half-mast
偶尔跪拜行礼，在胸口画着十字，顿首祈祷
Yeah, They're all here, the Tiny Tims and the Uncle Toms
啊哈，他们都在这儿，小提姆和汤姆叔叔
Redheads, brunettes, brunettes, and the dyed haired blondes
还有红发女郎，黑发女郎，棕发女郎和染过发的金发女郎
Who talk to dogs, chase broads and have hopes of being mobbed
她们和狗絮语，嬉笑打闹着，渴望能成为人群的焦点
Who mislay their dreams and later claim that they were robbed
她们早就抛弃了自己的梦想，却在控诉着自己的梦想被抢走了
And every night it's going to be the same old thing
是啊，每个夜晚都在上演同一出戏码
Getting high, getting drunk, getting horny
花天酒地，纸醉金迷
Lost, even, at Martha's Vineyard, again
再一次，迷失在玛莎的葡萄园
