sweet Gene Vincent 歌詞
Blue Gene baby
憂鬱的吉恩寶貝
Skinny white sailor, the chances were slender
消瘦的白人水手總是呢喃前路未卜
The beauties were brief
美好時光恍惚似箭
Shall I mourn you decline with some thunderbird wine
我該帶上雷鳥酒為你踐行
and a black handkerchief?
還有那塊墨色打上的手帕
I miss your sad Virginia whisper
我懷念你弗吉尼亞的輕聲哀嘆
I miss the voice that called my heart
我懷念你直擊心底的靈魂吶喊
Sweet Gene Vincent
親愛的吉恩文森特
Young and old and gone
他這樣年輕邁過衰老又這樣死去
Sweet Gene Vincent
親愛的吉恩文森特
Who, who, who slapped John?
誰,誰,誰給了約翰一耳光
White face, black shirt
淨白的面容,碳染的襯衫
White socks, black shoes
白襪子,黑鞋子
Black hair, white strat
黑頭髮,白褲子
Bled white, died black
蒼白的血液,暗淡地死去
Sweet gene Vincent
親愛的吉恩文森特
Let the blue cats roll tonight
讓我們今晚像藍貓一樣打滾
At the sock hop ball in the union hall
就在尤寧霍爾今晚的短襪舞會上
Where the bop is their delight
永不停歇的博普舞就是我們的歡愉
Here come duck-tailed Danny dragging Uncanny Annie
瞧瞧誰來了鴨尾丹尼和他奔放的安妮舞伴
She's the one with the flying feet
她也是飛腳(愛爾蘭舞蹈)舞者的一員
You can break the peace daddy sickle grease
你可以從和平老爹的鐮刀下剃下油水
The beat is reet complete
哦現在的節拍絕對沒有缺憾
And you jump back honey in the dungarees
你可以身著工裝褲加入這甜蜜的舞步
Tight sweater and a pony tail
緊身的毛衣再加上最愛的馬尾辮
Will you guess her age when she comes back stage?
當她重返舞台你還能猜出她的年齡嗎
The hoodlums bite their nails
混混們咬著他們的手指
Black gloves, white frost
黑色的手套上覆蓋白霜
Black crepe, white lead
黑色的綢緞裝點白鉛塊
White sheet, black knight
蒼白的床單與漆黑的騎士
Jet black, dead white
不過是一片漆黑一片慘白
Sweet Gene Vincent
親愛的吉恩文森特
There's one in every town
在每個城鎮中的他
And the devil drives 'till the hearse arrives
只能期待惡魔駕駛他的靈車到達
And you lay that pistol down
該放下你的手槍了
Sweet Gene Vincent
親愛的吉恩文森特
There's nowhere left to hide
現在已經無處可藏
With lazy skin and ash-tray eyes
鬆弛的皮膚和灰暗的眼睛
a perforated pride
一個被狠狠擊碎打破的驕傲的人
So farewell mademoiselle, Knickerbocker Hotel
永別了小姐永別了紐約客酒店
Farewell to money owed
永別了所有過去的債
But when your leg still hurts and you need more shirts
但你的腿還在隱隱作痛你還需要更多的衣物
You got to get back on the road
你不得不重新上路
