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
