Billy Joel - Piano Man：鋼琴師，歌詞+中文翻譯

Billy Joel於1973年的歌曲，
訴說著說唱人生在酒吧裡的日常，
人們總會在假日前的夜晚，去酒吧尋歡作樂，
喝點小酒，忘掉一個禮拜的煩惱，
在這裡，不分彼此，也沒身分問題，
大家都是快樂的，不過這份快樂，
也就只有當晚，過了之後大家依然要面對現實，
快樂的當下，很多人還是想著那些不痛快。
這時就要來更多的酒了！

[Verse 1]

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
現在是星期六晚上9點

The regular crowd shuffles in
人群照著慣例開始進場了

There's an old man sittin' next to me

一位老先生就坐我旁邊

Makin' love to his tonic and gin

品著他愛不釋手的琴酒

He says, "Son, can you play me a memory?

他說到：『小夥子，可為我來首能成為回憶的曲子嗎？

I'm not really sure how it goes
我不知道該怎麼啟奏

But it's sad, and it's sweet, and I knew it complete

不過悲傷，甜蜜，這些我都曾經歷過

When I wore a younger man's clothes"

全發在我還是年輕人時』

[Refrain]

La, la-la, di-dee-da

La-la, di-dee-da, da-dum

[Chorus]

Sing us a song, you're the piano man

為我們來首吧，你可是鋼琴師呢

Sing us a song tonight

今夜就為我們來一首吧

Well, we're all in the mood for a melody

我們就這樣沉醉在那旋律裡

And you've got us feeling alright

你讓我們當下如此沉醉

[Verse 2]

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine

約翰是我的朋友，他負責在吧檯調酒

He gets me my drinks for free

他都會請我喝免費的酒

And he's quick with a joke, or to light up your smoke

他是風趣高手，也會熱情地幫你點根菸

But there's someplace that he'd rather be

不過他倒是蠻想跳槽的

He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"

他說：比爾，這裡真讓我受不了

As the smile ran away from his face

語畢笑容即從他臉上消失

"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star

我覺得我應當成為電影明星

If I could get out of this place"

要是我能離開這鬼地方的話

[Refrain]

Oh, la, la-la, di-dee-da

La-la, di-dee-da, da-dum

[Verse 3]

Now Paul is a real estate novelist

保羅是個真材實料的房產小說作家

Who never had time for a wife

他忙到連娶老婆都沒空

And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the Navy

他與在海軍服役的Davy聊著

And probably will be for life

他有可能一輩子都只能幹軍人

And the waitress is practicing politics

女服務生正搞些壞壞的小把戲

As the businessmen slowly get stoned

玩弄著那些喝到茫的生意人

Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness

耶~他們就一起分享他們稱之為寂寞之酒的調酒

But it's better than drinkin' alone

但喝這杯好過一個人喝悶酒

[Piano Solo]

[Chorus]

Sing us a song, you're the piano man

為我們來首吧，你可是鋼琴師呢

Sing us a song tonight

今夜就為我們來一首吧

Well, we're all in the mood for a melody

我們就這樣沉醉在那旋律裡

And you've got us feeling alright

你讓我們當下如此沉醉

[Verse 4]

It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday

星期六的酒客人數不少

And the manager gives me a smile

店經理給了我一個笑容

'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see

他知道這些客人大部分都是來聽我彈唱的

To forget about life for a while

來這聽著歌，忘掉生活中惱人的一切

And the piano, it sounds like a carnival

鋼琴聲的伴奏下，一切如同嘉年華會一樣

And the microphone smells like a beer

麥克風開始有啤酒味了

And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar

酒客們坐上的吧檯，塞了點賞金給我

And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?"

並說到：老兄阿，你在這幹啥呢？

[Refrain]

Oh, la, la-la, di-dee-da

La-la, di-dee-da, da-dum
