歌词
A red sun came rolling down a grey sky
一轮红日从灰白的天空落下
蛙鸣 狗吠和夜空掠过的飞鸟
And the frogs and dogs and night birds then
合奏起一支缱绻的乡村摇篮曲
Started up singing sweet country lullaby
城市里的那一斑光亮
坐落着的正是棉花大街
You see that patch of city lights
今夜我就将在那儿纵情
我的舞鞋抛下点点光芒
Somewhere in there’s Cotton Avenue
如果你要找这么一个地方
That’s where I’m going to take myself tonight
那这儿称得上是绝无仅有
With a spit shine on my dancing shoes
如果你只是附庸风雅
那你还是到那些艳俗之地去吧！
If you got a place like that to go
我想是那些生气蓬勃的年轻人
他们血液里充沛的情欲
You just have to go there
让他们无法抗拒地到棉朵大街来
跟着这里鲜活的音乐
If you got no place special
所有闪亮的人挤在一块儿舞动
这就是所有的时间里棉花大街的样子
Well then you just go no place special
如果你要找这么一个地方
那这儿称得上是绝无仅有
I guess it’s just the summer in the young blood
如果你只是附庸风雅
那你还是到那些艳俗之地去吧！
Ripe and juicy in the young blood
夏天的闷雷声又开始在南方上空酝酿
Teasing to go down to Cotton Avenue
这个不速之客杀来简直让我的舞步乱了阵脚
棉花大街上我慌忙地赶上布鲁斯节拍
To hear the shiny shiny music
穷小子们总爱在街上四处闲逛
说着最新潮的流行语
See all the shiny people dancing to it
跳着最时髦的节拍
Anytime you go to Cotton Avenue
也许他们正不怀好意地打量你呢
在棉花大街上
If you got a place like that to go
如果你要找这么一个地方
那这儿称得上是绝无仅有
You know you got to go there
如果你是那么平淡无奇
我的亲爱
If you got no place special
那你还是另寻去处吧！
Well then you just go no place special
You see that summer storm brewing in the southern sky
By the time it hits here I’ll be dancing high and dry
To rhythm and blues on Cotton Avenue
Poor boys’ll be hanging around outside in the street
They got all the latest words
They’re dancing to the latest beat
While they’re hustling and sizing you
On Cotton Avenue
If you got a place like that to go
You just have to go there
If you’ve got no place special
Well my dear
You just go no place special
