歌词
Three waitresses all wearing
​我曾见过这样三个女侍者
Black diamond earrings
​她们都戴着廉价的耳坠(二十世纪初发行的十美元纸币上印有名为Black Diamond的公牛图案,所以可能暗示着耳坠的廉价)
Talking about zombies
​她们正讨论着关于僵尸鸡尾酒
And Singapore slings
​还有新加坡司令的话题
No trouble In their faces
​从她们的脸上看不出一丝烦恼
Not one anxious voice
​从她们的言谈中听不出一丝急切
None of the crazy you get
​你为之疯狂的事物
From too much choice
​或是人生的诸多选择
The thumb and the satchel
​比如事业的成功,比如万贯的家财
Or the rented rolls-Royce
​对她们而言都不过是可有可无的浮华
And you think she knows something
​你可能会觉得她们比你多知道些什么
By the second refill
​在为你斟第二杯酒时
You think she's enlightened
​你幻想她也许是一个深藏不露的智者
As she totals your bill
​当她为你结账时
You say show me the way
​你对她说:
To barangrill
“请告诉我,​通往「巴伦葛利尔」的路”
Well some say It's In service
​她们说「巴伦葛利尔」欢迎你的光临,
They say humble makes pure
​然而只有谦卑的人会被允许进入
You're hoping It's near folly
​你曾期待「巴伦葛利尔」可以让那些愚人触手可及
'Cause you're headed that way for sure
​因为你自己便是一个彻头彻尾的愚人
And you just have to laugh
​于是你嘲笑这个荒谬而愚蠢的回答
'Cause It's all so crazy
​事情怎么可能这么简单
Ah her mind's on her boyfriend
​啊,女侍者的心思全在她的男友
And eggs over easy
​还有她的煎蛋上
It's just a trick on you
​刚刚不过是闲暇时分给你开的玩笑
Her mirrors and your will
可她们难道不是你一直追求的缩影?
So you ask the truck driver
​你转身去问一个卡车司机
On the way to the till
他正要去柜台结账
But he's just a slave
​可他也是一个四处寻找
To barangrill
​却不知「巴伦葛利尔」究竟为何物的奴隶
The guy at the gas-pumps
​我曾在加油站遇见一个伙计
He's got a lot of soul
他有着十分豁达的灵魂
He sings merry Christmas for you
​他会为你唱圣诞快乐歌
Just like Nat king Cole
​简直是Nat King Cole的再世​
And he makes up his own tune
​并且还改写了歌曲的曲调
Right on the spot
在这个地方
About whitewalls and windshields
​一个成天与白壁轮胎和挡风玻璃打交道的地方
And this job he's got
​这个天生的歌者,却是在这里工作
And you want to get moving
​你本想急于离去
And you want to stay still
​可美妙的歌声令你驻足留步
But lost In the moment
​在这忘我陶醉的时刻
Some longing gets filled
​苦苦追寻的目的地似乎有了着落
And you even forget to ask
​以至于你忘记问他:
Hey where's barangrill
​“嗨,请问「巴伦葛利尔」在哪啊?”
