歌词
There's an evenin' haze settlin' over town
某天夜晚阴霾环绕小镇
Starlight by the edge of the creek
星光挥洒小河边
The buyin' power of the proletariat's gone down
物价高得令人喘息
Money's gettin' shallow and weak
金钱却又轻如鸿毛
Well, the place I love best is a sweet memory
我最爱的地方有我甜美的记忆
It's a new path that we trod
我们共同踏过 历久弥新
They say low wages are a reality
工资已难维系
If we want to compete abroad
如果出海打拼
My cruel weapons have been put on the shelf
我会武装我身心
Come sit down on my knee
来我膝上坐下吧
You are dearer to me than myself
你才是我更加珍视的
As you yourself can see
如你所见
While I'm listening to the steel rails hum
当我听着嘈杂声
Got both eyes tight shut
双眼紧闭
Just sitting here trying to keep the hunger from
只是坐在这里让 饥渴
Creeping its way into my gut
慢慢潜进我身心
Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind
与我尽头相会 别落在后頭
Bring me my boots and shoes
带着我的长筒靴和鞋子
You can hang back or fight your best on the frontline
或者我们背道而驰
Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues
哼唱一些属于工人的蓝调
Well, I'm sailin' on back, ready for the long haul
我归港却又准备着更长的航途
Tossed by the winds and the seas
风与海之间摇荡
I'll drag 'em all down to hell and I'll stand 'em at the wall
我会把他们拖入地狱 忍受着隔阂
I'll sell 'em to their enemies
将他们交付给死神
I'm tryin' to feed my soul with thought
我试图用幻想满足我灵魂的欲望
Gonna sleep off the rest of the day
沉醉床榻
Sometimes no one wants what we got
有时一无所有(谁也不想过我们的生活)
Sometimes you can't give it away
有时却又挥之不去(却又无法割舍)
Now the place is ringed with countless foes
无穷无尽的仇敌环绕身边
Some of them may be deaf and dumb
有些可能只是行尸走肉
No man, no woman knows
过往云烟 可却无人知晓
The hour that sorrow will come
痛苦阵阵袭来
In the dark I hear the night birds call
黑暗包围着我 夜莺的声音萦绕耳边
I can feel a lover's breath
我能感受到爱人的气息
I sleep in the kitchen with my feet in the hall
我睡在厨房 脚却搁在厅堂
Sleep is like a temporary death
睡眠就像短暂的死去
Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind
与我相会在最底层 别再落后了
Bring me my boots and shoes
捎上我的长筒靴和鞋子
You can hang back or fight your best on the frontline
或者就这样交织而过
Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues
哼唱一些属于工人的蓝调
Well, they burned my barn, and they stole my horse
他们烧了我的谷仓 偷走了我的马
I can't save a dime
我身无分文
I got to be careful, I don't want to be forced
我得小心 我可不想被迫
Into a life of continual crime
成为街头人人追赶的老鼠
I can see for myself that the sun is sinking
日暮西山
How I wish you were here to see
多么希望你伴我身旁
Tell me now, am I wrong in thinking
你能否告诉我
That you have forgotten me?
我已经成为过去?
Now they worry and they hurry and they fuss and they fret
他们担心 他们匆忙 他们喋喋不休 愁眉不展
They waste your nights and days
日日夜夜浪费你的生命
Them I will forget
我已经看淡一切
But you I'll remember always
而你 我想一直珍藏
Old memories of you to me have clung
对你旧时的记忆如影随形
You've wounded me with your words
你的话刺伤了我
Gonna have to straighten out your tongue
或者你该做些改变
It's all true, everything you've heard
这一切都是真实的
Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind
与我尽头相会 别落在后頭
Bring me my boots and shoes
带着我的长筒靴和鞋子
You can hang back or fight your best on the frontline
你可以失约或者极力奋斗在第一线
Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues
哼唱一些属于工人的蓝调
In you, my friend, I find no blame
至于你我的朋友 我无法加以指责
Wanna look in my eyes, please do
如果你想直视我的双眸 请便吧
No one can ever claim
没人能这样说
That I took up arms against you
我曾与你为敌
All across the peaceful sacred fields
横跨安详神圣的土地
They will lay you low
他们会让你一蹶不振
They'll break your horns and slash you with steel
挫掉你的锐气 攻击你
I say it so it must be so
事实上总是这样
Now I'm down on my luck and I'm black and blue
如今我霉运当头 伤痕累累
Gonna give you another chance
这里有另一个机会
I'm all alone and I'm expecting you
现在我孤身一人 期盼着你
To lead me off in a cheerful dance
共同跳只欢欣之舞
I got a brand new suit and a brand new wife
西装革履 迎娶全新的妻子
I can live on rice and beans
尽管只是粗茶淡饭
Some people never worked a day in their life
有些人从未为他们的人生工作过
Don't know what work even means
不知是何工作甚至要领
Well, meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind
在尽头相会 别落在后頭
Bring me my boots and shoes
捎上我的长筒靴和鞋子
You can hang back or fight your best on the frontline
又或者就这样交织而过
Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues
哼唱一些属于工人的蓝调…
