Albert Hammond- It never rains in California (英文字幕) Live

這首耳熟能詳的西洋老歌It Never Rains in Southern California,發表于1972年,Albert Hammond半自傳式的創作,敘說年輕男孩到南加州打拼的故事,這種鄉村民謠的節奏,會讓人聽起來心情很美好,所以上了一下英文字幕,方便大伙兒哼個兩句,以下是中英對照的歌詞:

Got on board a westbound seven forty-seven
跳上七點四十七分的西行列車
Didn't think before deciding what to do
做這個決定并沒有考慮太多
Oh, that talk of opportunities, TV breaks and movies
大家都說那里的工作機會很多，可以拍電視和電影
Rang true, sure rang true.
傳言是如此真實

Seems it never rain in Southern California
南加州似乎從來不下雨
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
從前好像常常聽到人們這么說
It never rains in California
南加州從來不下雨
But girl, don't they warn ya
但女孩啊 他們難道沒有警告過妳
It pours man it pours.
它一下就是傾盆大雨

Out of work, I'm out of my head
失去工作讓我心慌意亂
Out of self respect, I'm out of bread
沒有尊嚴我饑腸轆轆
I'm underloved, I'm underfed
我沒人關心而且營養不良
I wanna go home
我想要回家

It never rains in California
南加州從來不下雨
But girl don't they warn ya,
但女孩啊 他們難道沒有警告過妳
It pours, man it pours.
它一下就是傾盆大雨

Will you tell the folks back home, I nearly made it
能否告訴故鄉的親人，我就要成功了
Had offers but don't know which one to take
機會很多只是我不知該怎么抉擇
Please don't tell them how you found me
請別告訴他們 你看到我的窘境
Don't tell them how you found me give me a break
別告訴他們我的窘境 饒了我吧
Give me a break
饒了我吧
