Oh, the ragman draws circles
Up and down the block.
I'd ask him what the matter was
But I know that he don't talk.
And the ladies treat me kindly
And furnish me with tape,
But deep inside my heart
I know I can't escape.
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.
啊，旧货小贩兜着圈子
在居民区来回来去走
我问他想干什么
但我知道他不会回答
女人们对我很好
用彩带打扮我
但在我内心深处
我知道自己不能逃跑
噢，妈妈，这怪事是否能很快结束
我又一次被塞进了汽车车箱
听着孟菲斯的蓝调
Well, Shakespeare, he's in the alley
With his pointed shoes and his bells,
Speaking to some French girl,
Who says she knows me well.
And I would send a message
To find out if she's talked,
But the post office has been stolen
And the mailbox is locked.
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.
好吧，莎士比亚，他也在这箱子里
穿着尖头鞋，身上挂着铃铛
我和一个法国姑娘说话
那姑娘说她不了解我
我要发出一封信
看看她能不能和我谈谈
但是邮局遭到盗窃
邮箱也被锁住了
噢，妈妈，这怪事是否能很快结束
我又一次被塞进了汽车车箱
听着孟菲斯的蓝调
Mona tried to tell me
To stay away from the train line.
She said that all the railroad men
Just drink up your blood like wine.
An' I said, "Oh, I didn't know that,
But then again, there's only one I've met
An' he just smoked my eyelids
An' punched my cigarette."
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.
莫娜想告诉我
离火车道远点
她说所有铁路上的人
喝你的血就像喝酒
我说：“啊，我不知道
但是我只遇到过一个家伙
他点燃了我的睫毛
打飞了我的香烟”
噢，妈妈，这怪事是否能很快结束
我又一次被塞进了汽车车箱
听着孟菲斯的蓝调
Grandpa died last week
And now he's buried in the rocks,
But everybody still talks about
How badly they were shocked.
But me, I expected it to happen,
I knew he'd lost control
When he built a fire on Main Street
And shot it full of holes.
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.
祖父上周去世了
他被埋葬在岩石中间
他们收了很大震撼
但是我，我希望这一切发生
我知道他早已时空
他曾在大街上防火
把路面打得到处都是窟窿
噢，妈妈，这怪事是否能很快结束
我又一次被塞进了汽车车箱
听着孟菲斯的蓝调
Now the senator came down here
Showing ev'ryone his gun,
Handing out free tickets
To the wedding of his son.
An' me, I nearly got busted
An' wouldn't it be my luck
To get caught without a ticket
And be discovered beneath a truck.
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.
现在议员来了
给所有人看他的枪
拿出免费的票子
凭票参观他儿子的婚礼
而我，我差点破产
现在运气更糟糕
因为没有票被抓到
我被发现藏在卡车底下
噢，妈妈，这怪事是否能很快结束
我又一次被塞进了汽车车箱
听着孟菲斯的蓝调
Now the preacher looked so baffled
When I asked him why he dressed
With twenty pounds of headlines
Stapled to his chest.
But he cursed me when I proved it to him,
Then I whispered, "Not even you can hide.
You see, you're just like me,
I hope you're satisfied."
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.
传道士看起来那么困惑
因为我问他为什么那样沮丧
二十磅头条新闻
就挂在他的胸前
当我向他证明时他却诅咒我
于是我低声说：“你也不能躲藏
你看，你其实和我一样
我希望你心满意足”
噢，妈妈，这怪事是否能很快结束
我又一次被塞进了汽车车箱
听着孟菲斯的蓝调
Now the rainman gave me two cures,
Then he said, "Jump right in."
The one was Texas medicine,
The other was just railroad gin.
An' like a fool I mixed them
An' it strangled up my mind,
An' now people just get uglier
An' I have no sense of time.
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.
现在雨人给了我两个药方
他说：“灌下去。”
这一份是德克萨斯药剂
另一份只是铁道上的杜松子酒
我像个傻子一样把这两样掺在一起
这可搅乱了我的头脑
在我眼中人们变得丑陋
我也失去了时间观念
噢，妈妈，这怪事是否能很快结束
我又一次被塞进了汽车车箱
听着孟菲斯的蓝调
When Ruthie says come see her
In her honky-tonk lagoon,
Where I can watch her waltz for free
'Neath her Panamanian moon.
An' I say, "Aw come on now,
You must know about my debutante."
An' she says, "Your debutante just knows what you need
But I know what you want."
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.
罗西让我去看她
去她肮脏的下等酒馆
我在那里可以免费看她跳华尔兹
她在巴拿马之月下翩翩起舞
我说“啊，过来
你肯定知道我初恋情人的事情”
她说：“你的初恋只知道你需要什么
但我知道你真正想要什么”
噢，妈妈，这怪事是否能很快结束
我又一次被塞进了汽车车箱
听着孟菲斯的蓝调
Now the bricks lay on Grand Street
Where the neon madmen climb.
They all fall there so perfectly,
It all seems so well timed.
An' here I sit so patiently
Waiting to find out what price
You have to pay to get out of
Going through all these things twice.
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.
格兰德大街上建筑被砌起
氖光狂人们纷纷向上爬
他们都完美地掉了下来
时间似乎刚刚好
而我耐心地坐在这里等着看
你究竟愿意出什么价钱
来摆脱这些东西
不再重复这种经历
噢，妈妈，这怪事是否能很快结束
我又一次被塞进了汽车车箱
听着孟菲斯的蓝调
