I Wanna Learn a Love Song - Harry Chapin

以下歌词翻译由微信翻译提供

I come fresh from the street

我刚从街头摸爬滚打

Fast on my feet kind a lean and lazy;

Not much meat on my bones and a whole lot alone

我的骨头上没有多少肉我独自一人

And more than a little bit crazy

疯狂无比

The old six string was all I had

老六的吉他是我的全部

To keep my belly still

让我保持镇定

And for each full hour lesson I gave

每上一个小时的课

I got a crisp ten dollar bill

我有一张崭新的十美元钞票

She was married for seven years

To a concrete castle king

变成一座水泥城堡国王

She said she wanted to learn to play the guitar

她说她想学弹吉他

And to hear her children sing

听她的孩子歌唱

So I'd show up about once a week

所以我每周都会出现一次

In my faded tight-legged jeans

穿着褪色的紧身牛仔裤

With a backlog full of hobo stories

积压了一堆流浪汉的故事

And dilapidated dreams

支离破碎的梦想

She said "I wanna learn a love song full of happy things "

She said "I wanna learn a love song;

Won't you let me hear you sing "

She said "I wanna learn a love song I wanna hear you play "

So I tried to teach her a couple of chords

And an easy melody;

一首轻松的旋律；

But it always turned out she'd rather listen

可结果她宁愿侧耳倾听

To my guitar and me

I could hear her old man laughing in the den

我听到她老爸在房间里哈哈大笑

Playing stud poker with the boys

和兄弟们玩扑克

While I sang so soft in the living room

我在客厅里轻声歌唱

To scared to make much noise

I came one week and the den was dark

我来了一周家里一片漆黑

And she met me at the door

她在门口迎接我

And we sat on the couch and we sang and talked

我们坐在沙发上唱歌聊天

Till I could not sing no more

直到我再也唱不出歌来

The silence kept on building

寂静不断

Her eyes grew much too wide;

她的眼睛睁得太大了；

And I could hear both of our heartbeats

But there was no place to hide

Well I guess you know what happened

God I never been so clean

Yes I feel like I'm working in a Hollywood movie

Or living out a good bad dream

And all them pinup girls in that tinsel world

Never touched me like she can;
