Alleys of Austin

Out in the alleys of Austin
走在奧斯汀的小巷子裡
There's a song on the side of the wall
牆的那邊傳來歌聲
The bricks and the bottles and the mongrels
磚瓦，酒瓶和野狗
Are trying to make sense out of it all
讓景色不同以往
And the moon looks all too familiar
月色是如此地讓人熟悉
The kids say 'There ain't no man in there';
孩子們說“這裡空無一人”
While the laid back baboon
郊外的狒狒
By the light of the Texas moon
也在德克薩斯的月光下放鬆休憩
Is combing his auburn hair
梳理著它的棕色毛髮
He's just combing his auburn hair
梳理著它的棕色毛髮
Now out in the alleys of Heaven
在天堂的小巷子裡
There's a funky feeling angel strumming chords
天使撥動著輕柔的和弦
While the preachers sit and get stoned in their Buicks
傳教士們醉倒在他們的別克車裡
Jesus Christ rolls by in his Ford
耶穌的福特匆匆駛過
And the clouds are like the feathers of sparrows
雲朵如麻雀的羽毛般
A thousand different colors of grey
繽紛的色彩溶於灰色天空
It's the hustle of the paradise bar room
是天堂酒吧里的喧囂
And the glory of hanging out in space
是漫步於天空中的喜悅
It's the glory of hanging out in space
是漫步於天空中的喜悅
In the alleys of Austin and Heaven
在奧斯汀和天堂的小巷子裡
The song they're playing is the same
都奏響著同一首歌
The jam sessions sound like the gutters
爵士樂與水溝裡的細流共鳴
As the muddy licks and sticks roll down the drain
泥巴和水一起被捲起排走
And the drainpipe she rolls out to the river
從排水管中流向河中
And the Pedernales flows out to the sea
佩德萊納斯河流入海中
And the sea waters rise up to Heaven
海水蒸發湧向天堂
And rain down on the alleys of Austin
天上的雨水落在奧斯汀的小巷子裡
And you
落在你身上
And me
也淋濕了我
