【紅樓金粉】Sunset Boulevard 日落大道





Sure I came out here to make my name
Wanted my pool, my dose of fame
Wanted my parking space at Warner's
But after a year, a one room hell
A murphy bed, a rancid smell
Wallpaper peeling at the corners
我來到這,企圖名分
想著成功、美好人生
想要個管家為我開門
日復一日,小小房間
破爛床被,臭酸氣味
牆紙看來都如此頹廢

Sunset Boulevard, twisting boulevard
Secretive and rich, a little scary
Sunset Boulevard, tempting boulevard
Waiting there to swallow the unwary
在日落大道,詭譎的大道
藏著可怕的致富秘密
在日落大道,迷人的大道
苦苦等著吞下那敗績

Dreams are not enough to win a war
Out here they're always keeping score
Beneath the tan the battle rages
Smile a rented smile, fill someone's glass
Kiss someone's wife, kiss someone's ass
We do whatever pays the wages
無法贏得這場爭戰
那些人都不停計算
馬戲團裡狂熱瀰漫
一個笑臉,酒杯斟滿
應酬不完、馬屁拍爛
為了錢一切都好辦

Sunset Boulevard, headline boulevard
Getting here is only the beginning
Sunset Boulevard, jackpot boulevard
Once you've won you have to go on winning
在日落大道、竄紅的大道
來到這裡不過是開始
在日落大道、中獎的大道
開始贏了就沒有終局

You think I've sold out?
Dead right I've sold out!
I just keep waiting for the right offer
Comfortable quarters, regular rations
24-hour
Five Star room service
And if I'm honest, I like the lady
I can't help being touched by her folly
I'm treading water, taking the money
Watching her sun set... Well, I'm a writer!
我是否低賤、我當然低賤
我只是在等翻身的機會
舒服的香閨不怕餓肚子
二十四小時五星級房子
真要老實說我是中意她
吸引我的是多金的傻瓜
我原地踏步就靠她幫忙
看著她殞落,畢竟...我是個作家

L.A.'s changed a lot over the years
Since those brave gold rush pioneers
Came in their creaky covered wagons
Far as they could go end of the line
Their dreams were yours, their dreams were mine
But in those dreams were hidden dragons
自從那一堆,掏金過客
坐上馬車,一路來這
這些年改了許多景色
都盡其所能排隊等著
夢你所夢,爭我所爭
但惡龍在慾望中躲著

Sunset Boulevard, frenzied boulevard
Swamped with every kind of false emotion
Sunset Boulevard, brutal boulevard
Just like you, we'll wind up in the ocean
在日落大道,瘋癲的大道
別陷入各種虛情假意
在日落大道,殘酷的大道
就像你,我們都捲進海底

She was sinking fast, I threw a rope
Now I have suits and she has hope
It seemed an elegant solution
One day this must end, it isn't real
Still I'll enjoy a hearty meal
Before tomorrrow's execution

快要淹沒,我拋繩索
我有歸依,她有信心
這解答看似如此美麗
將會結束這場假戲
我先享受這餐心意
明天再被處決斃命

Sunset Boulevard, ruthless boulevard
Destination for the stony-hearted
Sunset Boulevard, lethal boulevard
Everyone's forgotten how they started
Here on Sunset Boulevard...!
在日落大道,殘忍的大道
無情的人最後的終點
在日落大道,致命的大道
沒人記得自己的起源

在這日落的大道
