Dry County
J. Bon Jovi
Across the border they turn
Water into wine
越过边界他们将水变成美酒
Some say it's the devil's blood
有人说那是恶魔的血液
They're squeezing from the vine
它们从葡萄树中榨出
Some say it's a saviour
有人说那是拯救者
In these hard and desperate times
在这艰难而绝望的时代里
For me it helps me to forget
对我而言那是帮助我忘记
That we're just born to die
忘记我们生来就要走向死亡
I came here like so many did
我和许多人一样来到这里
To find the better life
寻找更好的人生
To find my piece of easy street
寻找一条舒适的街道
To finally be alive
定居下来
And I know nothing good comes easy
我知道没有不劳而获的东西
And all good things take some time
好东西总要耗费时间
I made my bed I'll lie in it
我做好我可以躺下的床
To die in it's the crime
死在里面是种罪恶
You can't help but prosper
你无法不兴旺发达
Where the streets are paved with gold
街道铺满了黄金
They say the oil wells ran deeper here
than anybody's known
他们说这儿的油井可以挖得比任何人知道的还深
I packed up on my wife and kid
我告别了妻儿
And left them back at home
把他们留在家中
Now there's nothing in this paydirt
现在这尘土上已别无一物
The ghosts are all I know
只认识鬼魂们
Now the oil's gone
现在石油不见了
The money's gone
金钱不见了
And the jobs are gone
工作也不见了
Still we're hangin' on
只有我们仍不放手
Down in dry county
沉沦在干旱之郡
They're swimming in the sand
他们在沙里游泳
Praying for some holy water
祈祷着能有圣水
To wash the sins from off our hand
洗刷掉双手的罪恶
Here in dry county
在这干旱之郡
The promise has run dry
诺言都已干涸
Where nobody cries

And no one's getting out of here alive
也没有人能活着离去
In the blessed name of Jesus

I heard a preacher say
我听到牧师说
That we are God's children
我们都是上帝的子民
And He'd be back someday
有一天他会回到我们身边
And I hoped that he knew
我希望他明白
Something as he drank his cup of wine
有些事情正如他喝光他那杯酒一样无法重来
I didn't have too good of a feeling
我有种不太好的感觉
As I head out to the night
当我前往这暗夜里
I cursed the sky to open
我咒骂老天开眼
I begged the clouds for rain
我乞求云朵降雨
I prayed to God for water
我祈祷上帝赐水
For this burning in my veins
这些意念在我血管里燃烧
It was like my soul's on fire
就好像我的灵魂在火中
And I had to watch the flames
而我不得不注视着这些火焰
All my dreams went up in ashes
我所有的梦想随之化成灰烬
And my future blew away
我的未来也随风而逝

Waiting praying for their big reward

But it seems sometimes

The payoff leaves you feeling
Like a dirty whore

Make it by the gun or knife

'Cause the other way there's too much pain

Night after night after night
