- The Dandy Warhols 16 Tons 歌詞
- The Dandy Warhols
- I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine.
在天未破曉時，他呱呱墜地，
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine.
他撿起了他的鏟子，走到礦井裡，
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal.
他賣力的裝了16噸的九號煤，
And the straw boss said (well bless my soul).
吸血鬼老闆請上帝保佑他的靈魂。
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
他裝了十六噸，可他得到了什麼？
Another day older and deeper in debt.
得到這負債累累的嶄新一天。
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go.
聖彼得你還不能召喚他，因為他還不能走
I sold my soul to the company's store.
——他的靈魂已經出賣給了公司的商店。
If you see me coming better step aside.
若是你看到他就最好躲開，
A lot of men didn't, a lot of men died.
很多人沒有，很多人死了。
I've got one fist of iron, the other of steel.
他拿著拳頭一樣的鐵和鋼，
And if the right one don't get you then the left one will.
而他們的命運是互相吞噬。
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
今天他又裝了十六噸，可他得到了什麼？
Another day older and deeper in debt
更蒼老的身體和更繁重的負債。
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
天堂的大門不能為他而開，
I owe my soul to the company's store
因為他的一切都已出賣給了生活。
Some people say a man is made out of mud.
有人說男人是泥，
A poor man's made out of muscle and blood.
而窮人只有肌肉和血液，
Muscle and blood and skin and bones.
加上皮膚和骨骼組織成堅強的後盾，
A mind that is weak and a back that's strong.
裡面住著一個脆弱的心靈。
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
今天他又裝了十六噸，他能得到什麼？
Another day older and deeper in debt.
逝去的時間和赤紅的數字。
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
如何能去往那片寧靜天堂，
I owe my soul to the company's store.
我的靈魂已經出賣給了魔鬼。
