Sultans Of Swing

You get a shiver in the dark
你在黑暗中打了個寒顫
It's raining in the park but meantime
公園裡正下著雨，但同時

你在河的南岸抱著所有的東西停了下來
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
酒館裡正吹著四四拍的南方小調

你聽著這旋律，感到輕鬆愜意
A band is blowing dixie double four time
於是你走進去，卻發現沒多少人

避一避雨，聽爵士緩緩流淌
You feel alright when you hear that music ring
其他地方也有爵士

但並不像這裡的聲音好聽
Now you step inside but you don't see too many faces
一路向南，南下到倫敦

你看看吉他手喬治，他知道所有的和弦
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
他嚴格按照節奏來，並不在意花哨的技巧

他能買得起的只有一把舊吉他
Competition in other places
當他起身在燈下演奏他的吉他時

哈利並不在意他是否引人注目
But the horns can blowing that sound
他白天有工作，幹得還不錯

他能把Honky Tonk風格玩得隨心所欲
Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town
等到星期五晚上

和蘇丹，和蘇丹搖擺樂隊演奏
You check out guitar george he knows all the chords
一群年輕男孩兒

他們在角落裡鬼混
Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing
喝得爛醉，穿著他們最好的棕色燈籠褲

和他們的高底鞋
And an old guitar is all he can afford
他們不在乎任何吹小號的樂隊

那不是他們所謂的搖滾
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing
蘇丹演奏完克里奧爾的歌曲

然後一個人走到麥克風前
And harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
最後說，這時鐘聲正好響起

晚安，該回家了
He's got a daytime job he's doing alright
然後他又快速地補充了一句

我們是蘇丹
He can play honky tonk just like anything
我們是蘇丹搖擺樂隊

Saving it up for Friday night

With the sultans with the sultans of swing

And a crowd of young boys
They 're fooling around in the corner

Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies
And their platform soles

They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band

It ain't what they call rock and roll

And the sultans played creole

And then the man he steps right up to the microphone

And says at last just as the time bell rings

Goodnight now it's time to go home

And he makes it fast with one more thing

We are the sultans

We are the sultans of swing
