翻译 - Sweet Painted Lady

Elton John - Sweet Painted Lady - 《Goodbye Yellow Brick Road》

我与这首歌相遇于 Goodbye Yellow Brick Road ，知道 Elton 的应该都听过这首，那大概是 2018 年？同专辑也有这首歌曲，还挺喜欢这种娓娓道来的感觉

🙃 不过一直以来倒是没有仔细看歌词，称周末空闲时间顺便翻译一下，仔细一看才发现好像也是关于 sex 的...

I'm back on dry land once again

我又再次回到这片陆地

Opportunity awaits me like a rat in the drain

机会稍纵即逝

We're all hunting honey with money to burn

我们有无数金钱可以去狩猎钟意的姑娘

Just a short time to show you the tricks that we've learned

只需给我点儿时间，我可以给你看看我们学到的把戏

If the boys all behave themselves here

Well there's pretty young ladies and beer in the rear

噢 后面都是些漂亮年轻的姑娘们与啤酒

You won't need a gutter to sleep in tonight

今晚你不必在垃圾堆睡觉了

Oh the prices I charge here will see you alright

我收的价格，会让你平安又舒服地过一夜

So she lays down beside me again

所以她在我身边再度躺下

My sweet painted lady, the one with no name

我的宝贝姑娘，她没有名字

Many have used her and many still do

曾经许多人与她共度过良宵，现在也是

There's a place in the world for a woman like you

Oh sweet painted lady

甜美的上妆女郎

噢，我甜美又画着精致妆容的姑娘呀

Seems it's always been the same

Getting paid for being laid

Guess that's the name of the game

我猜，那才是重点

Forget us we'll have gone very soon

忘记我们，我们很快就走了

Just forget we ever slept in your rooms

忘记我们，曾经睡在你们的房间

And we'll leave the smell of the sea in your beds

我们会把海水气味，留在你们的床上

Where love's just a job and nothing is said
