It Sure Was Better Back Then - Steve Forbert

以下歌词翻译由微信翻译提供

Working on the Georgia Line the live long day

在佐治亚州铁路线上日夜奔波

Ninety nine degrees and only half past May

气温高达九十九度五月才过去一半

Nailing down the metal with the crosstime blues

音乐让我的心砰砰直跳

I had creosote all over my shoes

我的鞋上沾满了汽油

I hated it you know now I find I miss it

我讨厌这样你知道现在我发现我怀念这样的日子

Every time my little pension check rolls in

每当我收到一大笔养老金

Course I had it bad not as bad as this is

当然我经历过痛苦没有现在这样痛苦

It sure was better back then

那时候肯定更好

Yeah It sure was better back then

那时候肯定更好

Working in the rain beneath surplus tarp

冒雨在多余的防水布下工作

Foreman in the wagon twanging a sad Jews harp

福尔曼坐在货车里弹奏着悲伤的犹太竖琴

Passing out at night still in my mud caked jeans

深夜时分我依然穿着泥泞不堪的牛仔裤

I was living off of berries and beans

我靠着浆果和豆子过活

I hated it you know now I swear I miss it

我讨厌这样你知道现在我发誓我怀念这样的日子

Every time I look down on my pale white skin

每当我俯视我苍白的肌肤

Course I had it bad not as bad as this is

当然我经历过痛苦没有现在这样痛苦

It sure was better back then

那时候肯定更好

It sure was better back then

那时候肯定更好

Well the cable caught my leg and boy

我的腿被钢缆缠住了男孩

The damn thing bled

那玩意儿鲜血淋漓

Foreman sewed the muscle up with tarp patch thread

Foreman用防水布修补伤口

Sit me by the camp gonna have the cook clean pans

让我坐在营地旁边让厨师把锅擦干净

And scrub them down with Georgia red sand

用佐治亚州红沙滩把它们擦干净

I hated it you know now I really I miss it

我讨厌这样你知道现在我真的很怀念

Staring in my TV 'till the broadcast ends

盯着电视看直到节目结束

Course I had it bad not as bad as this is

当然我经历过痛苦没有现在这样痛苦

It sure was better back then

那时候肯定更好

It sure was better back then

那时候肯定更好

It sure was better back then

那时候肯定更好

Well long time

很久了

It sure was sure was better back then

那时候肯定更好

Damn thing

可恶
