That Was Your Mother
Paul Simon
That Was Your Mother 歌詞
A long time ago, yeah, before you was born, dude
很久很久在你出生以前
When I was still single and life was great
當我孑身一人生活還很美好
I held this job as a traveling salesman
我做著一個旅行商的工作
That kept me moving from state to state
這工作讓我四處漂泊
我就站在拉法葉的轉角處
Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
在路易絲安那州
State of Louisiana
我好奇男孩們會去哪個城市
Wondering where a city boy could go
去和她搭訕
To get a little conversation
喝一點紅酒
Drink a little red wine
邂逅開保時捷的女孩
Catch a little bit of those Cajun girls
一起跳柴迪科舞
Dancing to Zydeco
直到一個漂亮的像從書中走出來的女孩出現
甜美得像聖誕節的蘋果
Along come a young girl, she's pretty as a prayer book
我展示自己優雅的談論
Sweet as an apple on Christmas day
如果那是屬於我的祈禱書，主啊請讓我們祈禱
I said good gracious can this be my luck
我就站在法拉葉的轉角處
If that's my prayer book, Lord let us pray
在路易斯安那州
我好奇男孩們會去哪個城市
Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
去和她搭訕
State of Louisiana
喝一點紅酒
Wondering where a city boy could do
就著克林頓肯尼亞的歌曲跳舞
To get her in a conversation
海灣的王啊
Maybe drink a little red wine
那就是你的母親，那就是你的父親
Dance to the music of Clifton Chenier
在你出生前生活還是很美好
The King of the Bayou
你是我這代的重負
我如此愛你，讓我們繼續前行
Well, that was your mother and that was your father
我站在拉法葉的轉角處
Before you was born, dude, when life was great
穿過喧囂的公共街道
You are the burden of my generation
前往遠星咖啡店
I sure do love you, well let's get that straight
可能我會與人攀談
喝一點紅酒
Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
站在克林頓肯尼亞的光影下
Across the street from The Public
徹夜跳舞
Heading down to the Lone Star Cafe
Maybe get a little conversation
Drink a little red wine
Standing in the shadow of Clifton Chenier
Dancing the night away
