Dark As A Dungeon - Merle Travis

Come and listen you fellows so young and so fine

听我说吧 小伙子们 你们如此青春年少

And seek not your fortune in the dark dreary mines

可别去那阴森的矿井碰运气

It will form as a habit and seep in your soul

它会像毒瘾一样渗入你的灵魂

'Till the stream of your blood is as black as the coal

直到你流的血也和煤一样黑

It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew

那里黑如地牢 湿如夜露

Where danger is double and pleasures are few

危机四伏 百般苦寂

Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines

不见细雨 暗无天日

It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine

矿井之下 黑如地牢

It's a many a man I have morning my day

曾有很多人都是我的旧识

Who lived just to labor his whole life away

他们终其一生辛勤劳作

Like a fiend with his d**e and a drunkard his wine

如同瘾者和** 酒鬼与酒

A man will have lust for the lure of the mines

矿工会因贪欲而渴求挖掘

It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew

那里黑如地牢 湿如夜露

Where danger is double and pleasures are few

危机四伏 百般苦寂

Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines

不见细雨 暗无天日

It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine

矿井之下 黑如地牢

O midnight or the morning or the middle of the day

无论是午夜还是清晨 抑或是中午

It's the same to the miner who labors away

对于旷工来说都没有区别

Where the demons of death often come by surprise

在那里 死神时常突然光顾

One fall of the slate and you're buried alive

一个石板的滑落就可以将你活埋

And it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew

那里黑如地牢 湿如夜露

Where danger is double and pleasures are few

危机四伏 百般苦寂

Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines

不见细雨 暗无天日

And it's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines

矿井之下 黑如地牢

I hope when I'm gone and the ages shall roll

我希望在死后 随着时光流转

My body will blacken and turn into coal

我的躯体渐渐变黑 最终也成了煤

Then I'll look from the door of my heavenly home

那时的我会站在天国门口俯瞰世间

And pity the miner a diggin' my bones

怜悯那些正挖我骨头的矿工们

Where it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew

那里黑如地牢 湿如夜露

Where danger is double and pleasures are few

危机四伏 百般苦寂

Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines

不见细雨 暗无天日

And it's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines

矿井之下 黑如地牢
