Walking In Memphis
Marc Cohn
Walking In Memphis 歌詞
Put on my blue suede shoes
穿著我的藍色羊絨鞋
And I boarded the plane.
我登上了飛機
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
在南方布魯斯音樂之鄉著陸
In the middle of the pouring rain.
外面正下著瓢潑大雨
W.C. Handy -- won't you look down over me?
威廉·克里斯托弗·漢迪(布魯斯音樂家),你不會看不上我
Yeah, I got a first class ticket
對,我是坐頭等艙來的
But I'm as blue as a boy can be.
但是我卻像一個迷惘的孩子一樣憂傷
Then I'm walking in Memphis,
我漫步在孟菲斯
Walking with my feet ten feet off of a Beale.
我走在比爾街上的雙腳似乎已經懸空
Walking in Memphis.
我漫步在孟菲斯
But do I really feel the way I feel.
可是我不清楚我對這一切的感覺是否還算真實
Saw the ghost of Elvis
我看到了貓王的魂魄
On Union Avenue.
那魂魄遊蕩在尤尼昂大道上
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
我跟隨他來到了雅園(貓王的住所)的門口
Then I watched him walk right through.
我看到他走進門去
Now, security, they did not see him.
門口的保安沒看到他
They just hovered 'round his tomb.
他們只負責保衛貓王的墳墓
But there's a pretty little thing
但是在叢林之屋(雅園裡的一間屋)
Waiting for the King
有一個不錯的東西
Down in the Jungle Room.
正等待著貓王
When I was walking in Memphis,
當我漫步在孟菲斯時
Walking with my feet ten feet off a Beale.
我走在比爾街上的雙腳似乎已經懸空
Walking in Memphis.
我漫步在孟菲斯
But do I really feel the way I feel.
可是我不清楚我對這一切的感覺是否還算真實
They've got catfish on the table.
餐桌上擺上了鱒魚
They've got gospel in the air.
福音在空中環繞
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
格林神父(宗教歌手阿爾伯特·格林的暱稱)很熱情地說:“很高興見到你”
When you haven't got a prayer.
“如果你從來沒祈禱過”
Well you've got a prayer in Mephis
“那就在孟菲斯開始祈禱吧”
Now Gabriel plays piano
穆里爾(一位宗教音樂歌手)彈著鋼琴
Every Friday at the Hollywood.
在好萊塢咖啡店(位於貓王家附近),每週五都如此
And they Green be glad to see you asked me if I would
他們帶我去見穆里爾,然後他們問我是否一起唱聖歌
Do a little number,
我試著唱了唱
And I sang with all my might,
我用盡了全力
She said,
然後她問
'Tell me are you a Christian child?'
“告訴我,你是不是基督徒?”
And I said, 'Mam, I am tonight.'
我說,“今晚起我就是了,女士”
I'm walking in Memphis,
