Little Man (Single Version)歌词完整版
Little Man - Alan Jackson
I remember walkin' 'round the court square sidewalks
我记得我沿着法院广场的人行道漫步
Looking in windows at things I couldn't want
看见橱窗里摆放着我不敢奢望的东西
There's Johnson's Hardware and Morgan's Jewelry
那里有Johnson的五金店和Morgan的珠宝店
And the old Lee King's Apothecary
还有老Lee King的药店
They were the little man
他们就是小伙计
The little man
小伙计
I go back now and the stores are empty
现在我回到那里 商店全都空空荡荡
Except for an old Coke sign dated 1950
只剩下一块1950年的可口可乐的旧招牌
Boarded up like they never existed
要么被钉上了木板 仿佛它们从未存在
Or renovated and called historic districts
要么翻修一新 被称作是旧时代的街区
There goes the little man
小伙计消失不见
There goes the little man
小伙计消失不见
Now the court square's just a set of streets
现在法院广场只是一条条街道的相交点
That the people go round but they seldom think
那里人来人往 但他们很少会想起
About the little man that built this town
那个建立起城镇的小伙计
Before the big money shut them down
在大资本叫它们关门之前
And killed the little man
在大资本抹杀掉小伙计之前
Oh the little man
小伙计
He pumped your gas and he cleaned your glass
他打满了你车胎的气 擦干净了你的玻璃
And one cold rainy night he fixed your flat
在一个寒冷的雨夜 他修好了你的公寓
The new stores came where you do it yourself
新开的商店可以让你亲力亲为
You buy a lotto ticket and food off the shelf
你买了乐透彩票和现成的食物
Forget the little man
忘掉了那小伙计
Forget about that little man
忘掉了那个小伙计
He hung on there for a few more years
他又在那里坚守了几年
But he couldn't sell Slurpees
但他再也卖不了思乐冰饮料
And he wouldn't sell beer
他不会再卖啤酒
Now the bank rents the station
现在银行把那块地
To a man down the road
租给了街尾的一个男人
And they sell Velvet Elvis and
他们卖Velvet Elvis
Second-hand clothes
还有二手衣
There goes little man
小伙计消失不见
There goes another little man
又一个小伙计消失不见
Now the court square's just a set of streets
现在法院广场只是一条条街道的相交点
That the people go round but they seldom think
那里人来人往 但他们很少会想起
About the little man that built this town
那个建立起城镇的小伙计
Before the big money shut them down
在大资本叫它们关门之前
And killed the little man
在大资本抹杀掉小伙计之前
Oh the little man
小伙计
Now the stores are lined up in a concrete strip
现在商店林立 排成了混凝土的长街
You can buy the whole world in just one trip
逛上一趟你能把全世界都买到手里
And save a penny because it's jumbo size
因为特大的尺寸 还可以省钱
They don't even realize
他们甚至没有发现
They're killing the little man
他们杀掉了那小伙计
Oh the little man
小伙计
Now the court square's just a set of streets
现在法院广场只是一条条街道的相交点
That the people go round but they seldom think
那里人来人往 但他们很少会想起
About the little man that built this town
那个建立起城镇的小伙计
Before the big money shut them down
在大资本叫它们关门之前
And killed the little man
在大资本抹杀掉小伙计之前
Oh the little man
小伙计
It wasn't long ago when I was a child
我的孩童时代还没有过去太远
An old black man came with his mule and his plow
一个黑皮肤老人带着他的骡子和犁来到这里
He broke the ground where we grew our garden
他在我们的花园开垦土地
Back before we'd all forgotten
回到我们全都遗忘的从前
About the little man
关于那个小伙计
The little man
小伙计
Long live the little man
小伙计永存不灭
God bless the little man
上帝保佑小伙计
