歌词与中文翻译
#ENGINEER #My father was a tattoo artist in Haiphong
工程师：我父亲是个刺青师 工作在海防
但他对我母亲的算计并没持续太长
But his designs on mother didn't last too long
我妈过去卖身
喜欢嚼槟榔
My mother sold her body,
我的工作就是带害臊的法国先生去我家的板房
high on Betel nuts
帮母为娼很悲伤
恶臭能用香水藏
My job was bringing red-faced monsieurs to our huts
法国人教我这配方
Selling your mom is a wrench
奠边府战役改变了你我他
Perfume can cover a stench
法国佬们跑回了家
That's what I learned from the French
谁来啦？
猜猜吧？
Then it all changed with Dien Bien Phu
我们变癫狂会令你震惊
新客人挥土般撒美金
The frogs went home.
商人们不必再指望银行
Who came?
你可以搞搞推销来打赏
Guess who?
洋客们让我干上这一行
我受够了卑贱的奔波
Are you surprised we went insane
物欲横流让我才华打了折
要找个地方大干一场
With dollars pouring down like rain?
这地方就像有鲨鱼捕食的大海一样
变成美国佬
Businessmen never rob banks
和他们做兄弟
You can sell **** and get thanks
他们会卖人们要的东西
That's what I learned from the Yanks
空气里充满了香气的
美国梦
I'm fed up with small-time hustles
像新贵一样甜美的
I'm too good to waste my talent for greed
美国梦
I need room to flex my muscles
预先包好
In an ocean where the big sharks feed
成衣商品琳琅的
美国梦
Make me Yankee,
像巧克力闪电泡芙
they're my family
用嘴巴吸吮出奶油和脂肪
They're selling what people need
把握住幸福
怎么会认输？
What's that I smell in the air
最美好的是
The American dream
啥都能售出
美国梦
Sweet as a new millionaire
油腻腻的中国佬只会让日子越来越下贱
The American dream
到了美利坚我要开四星级酒店
像我这样的人在那里吃得消
Pre-packed,
他们会配个律师和保镖
ready-to-wear
我会把金发女郎卖给老美
The American dream
他们会刷卡来消费
空气充满了什么香味？
Fat, like a chocolate eclair
美国梦
As you suck out the cream
像贝莱尔的套房般甜蜜的
美国梦
Luck by the tail
用钱就能摸的
美国梦
How can you fail?
秃顶也能长头发的
美国梦
And best of all,
应召女在时代广场排队的
it's for sale
美国梦
The American dream
流浪汉都有闲钱花的
美国梦
Greasy chinks make life so sleazy
有酒吧的车拉你去那儿的
In the States I'll have a club that's four-starred
美国梦
Men like me there have things easy
每晚都有弗雷德·阿斯泰尔跳舞的
They have a lawyer and a body-guard
美国梦
To the Johns there I'll sell blondes there
灌下啤酒
That they can charge on a card
起开香槟
是时候该潇洒一回
What's that I smell in the air?
我的美国梦
The American dream
工程师和众人：打杂工可以买下大酒店的
美国梦
Sweet as a suite in Bel-air
华尔街也可以买下的
The American dream
美国梦
白手起家的
Girls can buy tits by the pair
美国梦
The American dream
一本万利的
美国梦
Bald people think they'll grow hair
在那儿
The American dream
我要给
唐人街小姐加冕
Call girls are lining time square
诸位消费都打九折优惠的
The American dream
全体：美国梦
Bums there have money to spare
The American dream
Cars that have bars take you there
The American dream
On stage each night: Fred Astaire
The American dream
Shlitz down the drain!
Pop the Champagne!
It's time we all entertain
My American dream!
#ENGINEER & CROWD#Busboys can buy the hotel
The American dream
Wall Street is ready to sell
The American dream
Come make a life from thin air
The American dream
Come and get more than your share
The American dream
#ENGINEER#There
I will crown
Miss Chinatown
All yours for ten percent down
#ALL#The American dream!
