- Steely Dan Kid Charlemagne 歌詞
- Steely Dan
- While the music played you worked by candlelight
當他們演奏音樂時，你卻在燭光下工作，
Those San Francisco nights
那些舊金山的夜晚，
You were the best in town
你是城裡的第一。
Just by chance you crossed the diamond with the pearl
偶然中，你將鑽石與珍珠交雜，
You turned it on the world
點亮了這個世界時，
Thats when you turned the world around
也就將它反轉。
Did you feel like Jesus
你是否覺得自己像個救世主？
Did you realize That you were a champion in their eyes
你是否察覺，在他們眼中，你是一個贏家。
On the hill the stuff was laced with kerosene
山坡上賣的行貨摻了煤油，
But yours was kitchen clean
但你的製品幹乾淨淨，
Everyone stopped to stare at your technicolor motor home
人人都停下看你那輛顏色斑斕的房車，
Every A-Frame had your number on the wall
每戶住在A型屋頂（豪宅）下的人家，都留著你的電話。
You must have had it all
這時你一定擁有一切，
Youd go to L.A.on a dare
激將一句，就去了洛杉磯
And youd go it alone
還是一人獨行。
Could you live forever
你能永遠長生嗎？
Could you see the day
你能預見到那一天嗎？
Could you feel your whole world fall apart and fade away
你能否感覺到，你的整個世界正在瓦解、消逝。
CHORUS:Get along,get along Kid Charlemagne
查理曼小子，你得過下去，過下去，
Get along Kid Charlemagne
過下去，查理曼小子。
Now your patrons have all left you in the red
現在金主們棄你於窘境中，
Your low rent friends are dead
你潦倒的朋友們也死了，
This life can be very strange
生活可以變得相當陌生。
All those dayglow freaks who used to paint the face
所有曾在臉上塗色的熒光衣怪客，
Theyve joined the human race
他們加入了人流，
Some things will never change
有些事永遠也不會改變。
Son you were mistaken
孩子，以前你弄錯了，
You are obsolete
現在你過了氣，
Look at all the white men on the street
看看街上的那些“白人”吧。
CHORUS Get along,get along Kid Charlemagne Get along Kid Charlemagne
查理曼小子，你得過下去，過下去
Clean this mess up else well all end up in jail Those test tubes and the scale
適應它，查理曼小子。
Just get them all out of here
去把爛攤子收拾好，不然我們全都會落進監牢，
Is there gas in the car
那一些試管，這一種刻度，
Yes,theres gas in the car
把它們從這兒弄走吧。
I think the people down the hall
車裡還有油嗎？
Know who you are
是的，這兒，車裡還有油，
Careful what you carry
我想，門廊前的人
Cause the man is wise
知道你是誰。
You are still an outlaw in their eyes
當心你所帶著的東西，
CHORUS:Get along,get along Kid Charlemagne Get along Kid Charlemagne
因為那人明白，
