《I Am A Town》歌词

[00:00:00] I Am A Town - Mary Chapin Carpenter (玛丽翠萍·卡本特)

[00:00:37] //

[00:00:37] I'm a town in Carolina I'm a detour on a ride

[00:00:45] 我是Carolina一座城池,我是一个骑手

[00:00:45] For aphone call and a soda

[00:00:49] 只带一部手机和一瓶水

[00:00:49] I'm a blur from the driver's side

[00:00:54] 我是驾驶员旁边不起眼的小污点

[00:00:54] I'm the last gas for an hour if you're going twenty-five

[00:01:02] 我是青春的尾巴

[00:01:02] I am Texaco and tobacco I am dust you leave behind

[00:01:10] 我是你留下的烟尘

[00:01:10] I am peaches in September

[00:01:15] 我是九月的桃

[00:01:15] And corn from a roadside stall

[00:01:19] 是路边摊上的一粒玉米

[00:01:19] I'm the language of the natives

[00:01:23] 我讲本土语言

[00:01:23] I'm a cadence and a drawl

[00:01:28] 我是一曲绵长的旋律

[00:01:28] I'm the pines behind the graveyard

[00:01:31] 我是墓地后的一棵松

[00:01:31] And the cool beneath their shade

[00:01:36] 是树荫下的一片阴凉

[00:01:36] Where the boys have left their beer cans

[00:01:40] 人们在那里扔掉啤酒罐

[00:01:40] I am weeds between the graves

[00:01:45] 我是坟墓间的杂草

[00:01:45] My porches sag and lean with

[00:01:49] 我的门廊和脊梁

[00:01:49] Old black men and children

[00:01:53] 撑起老人和小孩

[00:01:53] Their sleep is filled with dreams

[00:01:57] 他们常常伴着梦入眠

[00:01:57] I never can fulfill them

[00:02:03] 而梦里从来不曾有我

[00:02:03] I am a town

[00:02:18] 我是一座城池

[00:02:18] I am a church beside the highway

[00:02:22] 是公路边的一座教堂

[00:02:22] Where the ditches never drain

[00:02:26] I'm a Baptist like my daddy and Jesus knows my name

[00:02:35] I am memory and stillness

[00:02:39] 我是寂静无声的回忆

[00:02:43] 老无所依

[00:02:43] I am not your destination

[00:02:47] 我不是你目的地

[00:02:47] I am clinging to my ways

[00:02:51] 我以自己的方式攀爬

[00:03:17] 我是一座城池

[00:03:17] I'm a town in Carolina

[00:03:21] 我是Carolina一座城池

[00:03:21] I am billboards in the fields

[00:03:25] 我是田里的一块广告牌

[00:03:25] I'm an old truck up on cinder blocks

[00:03:30] 我是煤块堆中的一辆老卡车

[00:03:30] Missing all my wheels

[00:03:34] 丢失了所有的轮胎

[00:03:34] I am Pabst Blue Ribbon American

[00:03:38] 我是美国Pabst的蓝丝带

[00:03:38] And "Southern Serves the South"

[00:03:42] 自给自足

[00:03:42] I am tucked behind the Jaycees sign
