《walking in memphis》(Marc Cohn)

And I boarded the plane                                            我登上飞机
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues            在瓢泼大雨之中的布鲁斯蓝调之乡着陆
In the middle of the pouring rain
W C. Handy - won 't you look down over me                 W.C. Handy -你不要再看不起我
Yeah I got a first class ticket                              是的,我有头等舱的机票
But I'm as blue as a boy can be                                  但是我很忧郁
Then I'm walking in Memphis                                    现在我在孟菲斯行走
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale                      使双脚脱离布鲁斯
Walking in Memphis                                                在孟菲斯行走
But do I really feel the way I feel                        但我却能感受到我感受的方式

Saw the ghost of Elvis                                  我看到了（猫王）埃尔维斯的幽灵
On Union Avenue                                                   在联合大道
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland                   我尾随他来到静默园的大门
Then I watched him walk right through                          然后看着他径直走去
Now security they did not see him                        现在，安全了，他们没有看到他
They just hovered 'round his tomb                         他们只是在他的坟墓周围徘徊
But there's a pretty little thing                      但是依然有美好的事物在等待着猫王
Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room                                         沿着“丛林之屋”

Then I was walking in Memphis                                  当我行走在孟菲斯
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale                     使双脚脱离布鲁斯
Walking in Memphis                                               在孟菲斯行走
But do I really feel the way I feel                       但我能感受到我感受的方式吗

They've got catfish on the table                                他们桌上有打鲶鱼
They've got gospel in the air                                   空气中飘着福音
And Reverend Green be glad to see you                          受人尊敬的格林神父
When you haven't got a prayer                                 会乐意看见你没做祈祷
But boy you've got a prayer in Memphis                      好吧，你在孟菲斯做了祈祷
Now Muriel plays piano                              现在在好莱坞每个星期五由天使加百利弹钢琴
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her                           他们问我我是否愿意加入
And they asked me if I would--                                  

Do a little number
And I sang with all my might                                     然后我放声高歌
And she said--
"Tell me are you a Christian child?"                       她说：告诉我你是不是基督徒？
And I said "Ma'am I am tonight"                                 我回答：今晚就是

Walking in Memphis                                              当我行走在孟菲斯
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale                      使双脚脱离布鲁斯
Walking in Memphis                                                在孟菲斯行走
But do I really feel the way I feel                         但我却能感受到我感受的方式

Put on my blue suede shoes                                   穿上我蓝色的绒面羊皮靴
And I boarded the plane                                            我登上飞机
Touched down in the land of the Delta blues             在瓢泼大雨之中的布鲁斯蓝调之乡着陆
In the middle of the pounding rain
Touched down in the land of the Delta blues
In the middle of the pounding rain
