Keep The Wolves Away - Uncle Lucius

以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供

Took my first breath where the muddy Brazos

我第一次呼吸的地方是泥泞的布拉索斯河畔

Spills into the gulf of Mexico

那里河水汇入墨西哥湾

Where the skyline's colored by chemical plants

天际线被化工厂的烟囱染上了颜色

T'put bread on the table of the working man

为了养家糊口，工人们辛勤劳作

Where the working man does his best to provide

Safety and shelter for kids and a wife

工人们竭尽全力提供

为孩子们和妻子提供安全和庇护

Given little love n soul every day making over time

每天付出爱与灵魂，加班加点

To keep the wolves away

只为远离困境的威胁

Well I was barely thirteen when the company man

那时我才十三岁，公司的人

Tried to dig my daddy's grave

试图挖我父亲的坟墓

It happened on a French owned tanker ship

事情发生在一艘法国拥有的油轮上

Spilling poison in the Galveston Bay

Where the liquid fire filled his lungs and his eyes

毒物泄漏在加尔维斯顿湾

液态火焰充斥他的肺和眼睛

Silenced any mortal cries

扼杀了任何凡人的呼喊

Cold and the grip of death stinging pain

寒冷和死亡的刺痛

He fought like hell to keep the wolves away

他奋力拼搏，驱赶狼群

For the next few years dad was sick as a dog

接下来的几年里，父亲病得厉害

But he made a recovery just to spite the odds

但他最终还是康复了，奇迹般地战胜了病魔

Settlement came and we moved out of town

赔偿金到手后，我们搬离了小镇

Where the sky isn't heavy with refinery clouds

那里的天空不再被炼油厂的浓云笼罩

Yeah he's still alive he's doing good he's in his fifties

是的，他还活着，身体不错，已经五十多岁了

But the moneys running out

但钱快用完了

And he's pinching for pennies

他开始为每一分钱精打细算

So goin' for broke with every song I've made

所以我倾尽全力创作每一首歌

'Cos now it's my turn to keep the wolves away

因为现在轮到我来守护家园 抵御困境
