歌曲歌詞
Seen the arrow on the doopost
利箭釘在門柱
Saying, “This land is condemned”
這一片土地已被詛咒
All the way from New Orleans
從紐奧良到耶路撒冷
To Jerusalem
路路皆然”
I traveled through East Texas
我穿行東德克薩斯
Where many martyrs fell
殉道者們紛紛倒斃
And I know no one can sing the blues
我明白已無人能再唱出這首布魯斯
Like Blind Willie McTell
像盲威利·麥克泰爾
Well, I heard that hoot owl singing
我聽見夜梟的哭叫
As they were taking down the tents
當它們飛下站在帳篷頂
The stars above the barren trees
夜星懸在枯枝
Were his only audience
那是他唯一的觀眾
Them charcoal gypsy maidens
黝黑的吉普賽處女
Can strut their feathers well
能一展她們的嫵媚
But nobody can sing the blues
但無人能再唱出這首布魯斯
Like Blind Wwllie McTell
像盲威利·麥克泰爾
See them big plantations burning
大種植園化作火海
Hear the cracking of the whips
鞭子在劈啪作響
Smell that sweet magnolia blooming
木蘭花彌散著清香
See the ghosts of slavery ships
運奴船幽靈般隱現
I can hear them tribes a-moaning
我聽見那些部落的悲哭
Hear that undertaker's bell
送葬人搖響喪鐘
Nobody can sing the blues
無人能再唱出這首布魯斯
Like Blind Willie McTell
像盲威利·麥克泰爾
There's a woman by the river
河邊有個女人
With some fine young handsome man
身邊有位英俊的年輕人
He's dressed up like a squire
他穿得像個紳士
Bootlegged whiskey in his hand
手中握著瓶私藏的威士忌
There's a chain gang on the highway
高速公路上的一夥狂徒
I can hear them rebels yell
發出反叛者的高呼
And I know no one can sing the blues
我明白已無人能再唱出這首布魯斯
Like Blind Willie McTell
像盲威利·麥克泰爾
Well, God is in His heaven
上帝在他的天堂里
And we all want what's his
我們都想到他那去
But power and greed and corruptible seed
但權力、貪婪和腐敗的種子
Seem to be all that there is
那裡似乎也一樣不少
I'm gazing out the window
我凝望著窗外
Of the St.james Hotel
在聖詹姆斯旅館裡
And I know no one can sing the blues
我明白已無人能再唱出這首布魯斯
Like Blind willie McTell
像盲威利·麥克泰爾
