The Man from Harlem - Cab Calloway (凯伯·凯洛威)
以下歌词翻译由微信翻译提供
It was up at Mike's the other night
有一天晚上就在麦克家
There was really quite a sight
眼前真的是一片景象
Gather round folks while I give you all the lowdown
朋友们快来吧我要告诉你们真相
Tables were filled with gaudy frails
桌子上摆满了华丽的装饰品
Chewing on their fingernails;
啃他们的指甲;
They were waiting for the man from Harlem
他们在等一个来自哈莱姆区的男人
Drinks were served six bits a throw
饮料一杯六块
Things were moving kind of slow
一切进展缓慢
Everybody's nerves were getting jumpy
每个人都神经紧张
All at once the room was still
突然间房间一片寂静
Men forgot all about their bill
人们把账单忘得一干二净
Who should enter but the man from Harlem
除了哈莱姆区的那个人谁也不能进来
Everybody rolled their eyes
每个人都翻白眼
Women starting heaving sighs
女人开始叹息
Someone hollered \"Music lights and gin \"
有人大喊音乐灯和杜松子酒
Everybody cleared a space
每个人都腾出一点空间
They had big broad smiles on every face
每个人的脸上都洋溢着灿烂的笑容
How they all loved to see the man from Harlem
他们都喜欢看这个来自哈莱姆区的男人
When he started in to step
当他开始迈出那一步
He filled everyone with plenty pep
他让每个人都充满活力
He twitched and squirmed; it just was a dirty shame
他扭动着身体,真是奇耻大辱
Everyone was in a daze
每个人都茫然无措
Women watched him with amaze
女人们惊奇地看着他
Each one said she'd have the man from Harlem
每个人都说她想和哈莱姆区的那个男人在一起
He looked over in the corner
他望向角落
And saw a couple of frails and they sure did look kinda low
看到了几个敌人他们看起来确实有点低落
Another cat walked up and said to the man from Harlem
另一只猫走上前来对来自哈莱姆区的男人说
\"Go over there and see what's the matter with them girls \"
到那边去看看那些姑娘怎么了
And they said \"I'm kinda low \"
他们说我有点低落
And he said \"I've got just what you need:
他说我有你需要的东西
Come on sisters light up on these ***** and get high and forget about everything \"
来吧姐妹们一起嗨起来忘记一切
