Firewater
Old Crow Medicine Show
Firewater 歌词
Living on bread and wine was easy
对约翰,詹姆斯和玛丽一家来说
for John and James and Mother Mary
有着面包和烈酒的日子很惬意
and I’m no saint and that’s my ball and chain
我不是圣人我天性如此
Cause when I’m passed that silver chalice
我早已递过圣杯
I always drink my fill until it
我总是把自己灌得烂醉
knocks me down and tangles up my brain
在它把我击倒,弄得我头脑纠结之时
Yeah buddy, it’s a short life, it’s a hell of a life
伙计啊生活如此短暂,不如意常有
it’s a mean old world, when you’re kicked to the gutter
这个旧时的社会,等你被逐到水沟时
and the firewater is the one thing to put out the flame
(明白)烈酒才是那唯一救命稻草
Walking through the graveyards and sleeping in alleys
穿过墓地,睡在小巷里
telling myself the same old stories
向自己讲述老旧的故事
Drinking that blood and calling it holy wine
饮下那血液称其为神圣的酒
Looking in windows and seeing a stranger
透过窗隙,瞧见有陌生人儿走过
going through hell like a fallen angel
他看起来就像折翅的天使
Feeling my bones getting old long before their time
感觉自己会比他们老得更快啊
Yeah buddy, it’s a short life, it’s a hell of a life
伙计啊生活转瞬即逝,坎坷常在
it’s a mean old world, when you’re kicked to the gutter
在这样现实的社会上,当你被踢进水沟之时
and the firewater gotcha talking in circles again
才会想起烈酒才是一次又一次拯救你的东西吧
It’s an empty bottle passing around
酒瓶子好像又空了啊
when your hopes and dreams have all burned down
当你的旧时梦想与希望逝去
And the firewater is the one thing to put out the flame
唯有烈酒解千愁
Take me home, take me home
带我回家吧,我想回去了
Gather me up in your arms Lord have mercy divine
主啊把我拥入你的怀里,我渴求你的宽恕
So take me home, take me home
让我回去吧,我想家了
Take me home, take me home
我想回到那个最初的家了
Cause it’s a short life, it’s a hell of a life
人生苦短,何须纠结不如意
it’s a mean old world when you're kicked to the gutter
这个社会叫你栽进下水沟里
and the firewater is the one thing to put out the flame
只要记得一口烈酒便能解救你了
Yeah, the firewater is the one thing to put out the flame.
何须苦恼自哀,喝上一口酒吧,一切都没有问题了
