St. James Infirmary
Cab Calloway
St. James Infirmary 歌詞
Folks, I'm goin' down to St. James Infirmary,
伙計們,我正要去聖詹姆斯醫院
See my baby there;
到那裡去尋我的愛人
She's stretched out on a long, white table,
她臥在一張長長的白色桌子上
She's so sweet, so cold, so fair.
她那樣甜美,那樣冷艷,那樣蒼白
Let her go, let her go, God bless her,
讓她去吧,讓她去吧,上帝保佑她
Wherever she may be,
不論她在哪裡
She will search this wide world over,
即使她在這廣闊的世界裡尋個遍
But she'll never find another sweet man like me.
也尋不到另一個像我一樣甜蜜的愛人
Now, when I die, bury me in my straight-leg britches,
當我死了,請讓我穿著我的直腿褲把我埋葬
Put on a box-back coat and a stetson hat,
給我穿上箱型外套和斯特森牛仔帽
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain,
在我的錶鍊上嵌一枚20刀的金幣
So you can let all the boys know I died standing pat.
這樣你可以讓所有人知道,我到死都保持自我
Folks, now that you have heard my story,
伙計們,現在你們已經聽過我的故事了
Say, boy, hand me another shot of that booze;
餵,孩子,再給我一杯酒
If anyone should ask you,
如果有人向你問起我
Tell 'em I've got those St. James Infirmary blues.
告訴他們,我得了聖詹姆斯憂鬱症
