歌词
I was at this carnival, just a few years ago
在几年前的那个狂欢节上
no big deal, ferris wheel, the same ol' stuff you know.
没什么有趣的 摩天轮之类乡下人玩的东西 你知道的
And I wandered around the grounds until I found this little tent,
我四处晃荡 看见了一个小帐篷
man outside made a speech, and this is how it went.
有几个男人在外面聊天
"she walks, she talks,
“她走路曼妙，言语妩媚
she crawls on her belly like a reptile"
她的腰肢扭动的像虫子” 这在乡村狂欢节还没有过
it was the same ole line ...except for one part,
这在乡村狂欢节还没有过
said you don't need no money, you gotta pay with your heart
他们说进这里必须交钱 但也可以用真心来抵债
O sharon, what do you do to these men?
哦 Sharon 你让我们这些男人怎么办才好呢？
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again.
你知道的 这里会同以往一样放荡
Well I went inside, looked around for a seat.
我走进去想坐下来
Then the lights went low, and the drums played a beat.
然后灯光黯淡 鼓点响起
Out came this girl, dressed in a scarf and a sneeze,
那个女孩儿出来了 围着围巾 还打着喷嚏
she did a little dance that made me weak in the knees.
她只跳了一小段舞 便让我想臣服于裙下
she danced just like her back had no bones.
她舞动的身姿柔软的像是没有骨头
while the band played a tune they called the Main Street Moan.
这时乐队开始演奏《The Main Street Moan》
她的笑容明媚了起来
She smiled a smile the whole world could see.
突然地 她转头直勾勾的盯着我
and then She turned around, and looked staraight at me.
我在心底里已经一蹦六尺高了
I must've jumped at least six feet in the air,
但回过头来她却不见了
and when I came down, that girl wasn't there.
哦 Sharon 你到底要让我们这些男人怎么办才好？
Oh Sharon, what do you do to these men?
你清楚这里会同以往一样放荡
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again.
一个红色卷发的家伙出现了
Then Out come this guy with curly, red hair,
他留着大胡子 看起来像头熊
He had a big bushy beard , and he looked like a bear.
说着：“别叫了 演出结束了”
He said "Yuh stop yer shoutin' there's no more to the show
我想图个清静 你们快滚开吧
if you wanna breathe right, I think y'all better go
我只好奔着门走去
Well I didn't think twice, I headed straight for the door,
但正走着 我就听到那头大熊在大声叫嚷
but on my way out, I heard that big bear roar
哦 Sharon 你让我们这些男人怎么办才好呢？
O Sharon, what do you do to these men?
你明明清楚这里会同以往一样放荡
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again.
每次你的演出我都在场
Every time that show played, I was right there,
也总是会遇到那头没教养的熊
I stayed out off reach of that mean ole' bear.
一切就像刚开始的那个男人所说的一样
And it was Just like the man said in his speech at the start,
狂欢节过去后 我的心也灰了一大半
when that carnie left town it took a piece of my heart.
每次听到有乐队演奏《The Main Street Moan》
I still get a funny feeling deep down in my bone,
我就会深深的沉醉在其中
every time I hear a band play that Main Street Moan.
哦 Sharon 你到底要让我们这些男人怎么办才好呢？
O Sharon, what do you do to these men?
你明明清楚这里会同以往一样放荡
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again.
