歌词
A long time ago, yeah, before you was born, dude
很久很久在你出生以前
When I was still single and life was great
当我孑身一人生活还很美好
I held this job as a traveling salesman
我做着一个旅行商的工作
That kept me moving from state to state
这工作让我四处漂泊
我就站在拉法叶的转角处
Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
在路易丝安那州
State of Louisiana
我好奇男孩们会去哪个城市
Wondering where a city boy could go
去和她搭讪
To get a little conversation
喝一点红酒
Drink a little red wine
邂逅开保时捷的女孩
Catch a little bit of those Cajun girls
一起跳柴迪科舞
Dancing to Zydeco
直到一个漂亮的像从书中走出来的女孩出现
甜美得像圣诞节的苹果
Along come a young girl, she's pretty as a prayer book
我展示自己优雅的谈论
Sweet as an apple on Christmas day
如果那是属于我的祈祷书，主啊请让我们祈祷
I said good gracious can this be my luck
我就站在法拉叶的转角处
If that's my prayer book, Lord let us pray
在路易斯安那州
我好奇男孩们会去哪个城市
Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
去和她搭讪
State of Louisiana
喝一点红酒
Wondering where a city boy could do
就着克林顿肯尼亚的歌曲跳舞
To get her in a conversation
海湾的王啊
Maybe drink a little red wine
那就是你的母亲，那就是你的父亲
Dance to the music of Clifton Chenier
在你出生前生活还是很美好
The King of the Bayou
你是我这代的重负
我如此爱你，让我们继续前行
Well, that was your mother and that was your father
我站在拉法叶的转角处
Before you was born, dude, when life was great
穿过喧嚣的公共街道
You are the burden of my generation
前往远星咖啡店
I sure do love you, well let's get that straight
可能我会与人攀谈
喝一点红酒
Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
站在克林顿肯尼亚的光影下
Across the street from The Public
彻夜跳舞
Heading down to the Lone Star Cafe
Maybe get a little conversation
Drink a little red wine
Standing in the shadow of Clifton Chenier
Dancing the night away
