piano man 歌词
Piano man钢琴师
Billy Joel
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me Making love to his tonic and gin
现在是周末的晚上9点
人群蜂拥而来
一个老家伙坐在我的旁边
正在和他的GIN酒和TONIC缠绵
He says,"Son, can you play me a melody? I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete When I wore a younger man's clothes"
他问我“孩子,你能给我弹一首歌么?
我不太记得旋律了
是首有点悲伤但很甜蜜的歌,当我是年轻人的时候,我能完整的记得它的全部”
La la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da
*Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling alright
“为我们唱首歌吧,你是钢琴师
为我们今晚唱首歌吧
大家的情绪正好,而且你让我们的感觉棒极了”
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But there's some place that he'd rather be
He says,"Bill, I believe this is killing me"
As the smile ran away from his face
"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place"
在吧台的JOHN是我的朋友
他免费给了我几杯
他是个很能和客人开心的家伙,也会适时帮你点烟
但是他想有份别的工作
他说“BILLY,你知道么,这样下去我就被毁掉了”
这时,他的笑容不见了
“我确信我一定会成为一个电影明星,只要我离开这鬼地方”
Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talking with Davy who's still in the navy
And probably will be for life
PAUL是个写地产题材的小说家
所以他一直没有时间娶个老婆
他正和DAVY聊天,DAVY在海军服役,也许他会在海军做一辈子
And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinking alone(*)
女服务员已经在耍花招
慢慢把那些生意人灌醉
是的,他们正在喝一种酒,给酒取了名字叫“孤独”
不过,这样怎么也好过自斟自饮
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been coming to see
To forget about life for a while
周末的生意总是不错
经理看着我满意的笑了
因为他知道很多人是冲着我才来这里的
至少,在这里可以短暂的忘掉人生
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say,"Man, what are you doing here?"
钢琴听起来好象狂欢节
麦克风闻起来象新鲜啤酒
坐在吧台上的人们把小费放到我的罐子里
问我“哥们,你这样的人怎么会在这里?”
