Prison Cell Blues - Blind Lemon Jefferson
以下歌词翻译由微信翻译提供
Getting tired of sleeping
厌倦了沉睡
In this lowdown lonesome cell
在这破败孤寂的牢房里
Lord I wouldn't have been here
上帝我就不会在这里
If it had not been for Nell
如果没有内尔
Lay awake at night
躺在床上辗转反侧
And just can't eat a bite
一口也吃不下
Used to be my rider
But she just won't treat me right
可她就是不肯好好待我
Got a red-eyed captain
有个双眼通红的船长
And a squabbling boss
一个争吵不休的老大
Got a mad dog sergeant
我有个疯狗警官
Honey and he won't knock off
I'm getting tired of sleeping
我厌倦了沉睡
In this lowdown lonesome cell
在这破败孤寂的牢房里
Lord I wouldn't been here
上帝我就不会在这里
If it had not been for Nell
如果没有内尔
I asked the government
我问过政府
To knock some days off my time
Well the way I'm treated
你对我的态度
I'm about to lose my mind
我快要失去理智
I wrote to the governor
我给州长写信
Please turn me a-loose
请放开我
Since I don't get no answer
因为我得不到答案
I know it ain't no use
我知道没有用
I'm getting tired of sleeping
我厌倦了沉睡
In this lowdown lonesome cell
在这破败孤寂的牢房里
Lord I wouldn't have been here
上帝我就不会在这里
If it had not been for Nell
如果没有内尔
I hate to turn over
我讨厌翻篇
And find my rider gone
Walking across my floor
在我家门前徘徊
Lordy how I moan
天哪我的呻吟
Lord I wouldn't have been here
上帝我就不会在这里
If it had not been for Nell
如果没有内尔
I'm getting tired of sleeping
我厌倦了沉睡
In this lowdown lonesome cell
在这破败孤寂的牢房里
