St. James Infirmary
Cab Calloway
St. James Infirmary 歌词
Folks, I'm goin' down to St. James Infirmary,
伙计们,我正要去圣詹姆斯医院
See my baby there;
到那里去寻我的爱人
She's stretched out on a long, white table,
她卧在一张长长的白色桌子上
She's so sweet, so cold, so fair.
她那样甜美,那样冷艳,那样苍白
Let her go, let her go, God bless her,
让她去吧,让她去吧,上帝保佑她
Wherever she may be,
不论她在哪里
She will search this wide world over,
即使她在这广阔的世界里寻个遍
But she'll never find another sweet man like me.
也寻不到另一个像我一样甜蜜的爱人
Now, when I die, bury me in my straight-leg britches,
当我死了,请让我穿着我的直腿裤把我埋葬
Put on a box-back coat and a stetson hat,
给我穿上箱型外套和斯特森牛仔帽
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain,
在我的表链上嵌一枚20刀的金币
So you can let all the boys know I died standing pat.
这样你可以让所有人知道,我到死都保持自我
Folks, now that you have heard my story,
伙计们,现在你们已经听过我的故事了
Say, boy, hand me another shot of that booze;
喂,孩子,再给我一杯酒
If anyone should ask you,
如果有人向你问起我
Tell 'em I've got those St. James Infirmary blues.
告诉他们,我得了圣詹姆斯忧郁症
