- Dire Straits Sultans Of Swing 歌詞
- Dire Straits
- You get a shiver in the dark
黑暗中你打了一個寒顫
Its raining in the park but meantime
此時公園中正下著大雨
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
你在河的南面停下來拎著一堆東西
A band is blowing Dixie double four time
一個樂隊在吹南方小調按照的是4/4拍
You feel alright when you hear that music ring
當你聽到音樂響起你覺得它還不錯
You step inside but you dont see too many faces
於是你走了進去發現裡面人並不太多
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
從雨中走進來繼續聽爵士樂的演奏
Too much competition too many other places
到處都有爵士樂的演奏
But not too many horns can make that sound
但沒有其他任何地方的小號能夠吹出
Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town
如此濃郁正宗的南方倫敦鎮風味
You check out Guitar George he knows all the chords
你仔細打量吉他手喬治，他會彈所有的和弦
Mind hes strictly rhythm he doesnt want to make it cry or sing
他嚴格按照韻律節奏不想故意讓它聽起來歡快或是悲傷
And an old guitar is all he can afford
一把老吉他就是他的所有
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing
當他站起來在燈光下彈奏
And Harry doesnt mind if he doesnt make the scene
哈利不在乎他是否引人注目
Hes got a daytime job hes doing alright
他有一份幹得不錯的白天的工作
He can play honky tonk just like anything
他能把honky tonk這種音樂演奏的那麼好
Saving it up for Friday night
作為星期五晚上
With the Sultans with the Sultans of Swing
搖擺樂蘇丹樂隊的保留曲目
And a crowd of young boys theyre fooling around in the corner now
一群年輕的男孩擠在角落
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
穿著他們最好的燈籠褲和厚底鞋，爛醉如泥
They dont give a damn about any trumpet playing band
他們根本對任何吹奏小號的樂隊不屑一顧
It aint what they call rock and roll
那不是他們心中的搖滾樂
And the Sultans and the Sultans played Creole Creole
蘇丹人們演奏的是美國南部諸州克里奧爾風情的音樂
And the man he steps right up to the microphone
最後，一個男人走到麥克風前說
And says at last just as the time bell rings
此時正好鐘聲響起
goodnight now its time to go home
“謝謝大家，晚安，現在該回家了”
And he makes it fast with one more thing
他很快地又加了一句
We are the Sultans we are the sultans of Swing
“我們是蘇丹，蘇丹搖擺樂隊”
