Overture-Cotton Avenue-Joni Mitchell

[02:59.55]A red sun came rolling down a grey sky
一轮红日从灰白的天空落下 [03:04.71] [03:05.31]And the frogs and dogs and night birds then
蛙鸣 狗吠和夜空掠过的飞鸟 [03:07.95]Started up singing sweet country lullaby
合奏起一支缱绻的乡村摇篮曲 [03:12.08] [03:14.99]You see that patch of city lights
城市里的那一斑光亮 [03:17.24] [03:18.69]Somewhere in there’s Cotton Avenue
坐落着的正是棉花大街 [03:21.52]That’s where I’m going to take myself tonight
今夜我就将在那儿纵情 [03:23.12]With a spit shine on my dancing shoes
我的舞鞋抛下点点光芒 [03:27.83] [03:34.20]If you got a place like that to go
如果你要找这么一个地方 [03:37.00] [03:37.83]You just have to go there
那这儿称得上是绝无仅有 [03:39.38] [03:42.21]If you got no place special
如果你只是附庸风雅 [03:45.32] [03:45.85]Well then you just go no place special
那你还是到那些艳俗之地去吧！ [03:52.62] [04:02.54]I guess it’s just the summer in the young blood
我想是那些生气蓬勃的年轻人 [04:06.03] [04:07.00]Ripe and juicy in the young blood
他们血液里充沛的情欲 [04:11.01]Teasing to go down to Cotton Avenue
让他们无法抗拒地到棉朵大街来 [04:15.55] [04:18.14]To hear the shiny shiny music
跟着这里鲜活的音乐 [04:21.19] [04:22.36]See all the shiny people dancing to it
所有闪亮的人挤在一块儿舞动 [04:27.25]Anytime you go to Cotton Avenue
这就是所有的时间里棉花大街的样子 [04:31.84] [04:38.06]If you got a place like that to go
如果你要找这么一个地方 [04:40.66] [04:41.93]You know you got to go there
那这儿称得上是绝无仅有 [04:43.70] [04:45.64]If you got no place special
如果你只是附庸风雅 [04:49.52]Well then you just go no place special
那你还是到那些艳俗之地去吧！ [04:54.75] [05:06.10]You see that summer storm brewing in the southern sky
夏天的闷雷声又开始在南方上空酝酿 [05:09.87] [05:10.84]By the time it hits here I’ll be dancing high and dry
这个不速之客杀来简直让我的舞步乱了阵脚 [05:15.56]To rhythm and blues on Cotton Avenue
棉花大街上我慌忙地赶上布鲁斯节拍 [05:19.94] [05:21.87]Poor boys’ll be hanging around outside in the street
穷小子们总爱在街上四处闲逛 [05:25.11] [05:26.08]They got all the latest words
说着最新潮的流行语 [05:27.26]They’re dancing to the latest beat
跳着最时髦的节拍 [05:30.64]While they’re hustling and sizing you
也许他们正不怀好意地打量你呢 [05:33.57]On Cotton Avenue
在棉花大街上 [05:35.80] [05:41.16]If you got a place like that to go
如果你要找这么一个地方 [05:43.92] [05:44.85]You just have to go there
那这儿称得上是绝无仅有 [05:47.34] [05:48.85]If you’ve got no place special
如果你是那么平淡无奇 [05:52.33]Well my dear
我的亲爱 [05:53.60]You just go no place special
那你还是另寻去处吧！
