Sunset Boulevard (US 1994Musical "Sunset Boulevard")
Sure, I came out here to make my name
是啊，我来此为留姓名
Wanted my pool, my dose of fame
渴求我的一方泳池，一剂名誉
Wanted my parking space at Warner's
渴求一个位于华纳兄弟的停车地
But after a year, a one room hell
然而一年过去，一方人间地狱
A Murphy bed, a rancid smell
一张折叠床，一阵腐臭气息
Wallpaper peeling at the corners
墙角的壁纸斑斑驳驳
Sunset Boulevard, twisting boulevard
日落大道啊，扭曲的街
Secretive and rich, a little scary
神秘莫测，富丽堂皇，又不寒而栗
Sunset Boulevard, tempting boulevard
日落大道啊，诱人的街
Waiting there to swallow the unwary
静候于此吞噬无知的来客
Dreams are not enough to win a war
理想不足以与现实匹敌
Out here they're always keeping score
罄竹记录着言行
Beneath the tan the battle rages
污浊之下是硝烟四起
Smile a rented smile, fill someone's glass
笑啊，虚伪地笑啊，斟满谁的酒杯
Kiss someone's wife, kiss someone's ass
拥他娇妻入怀，对他嘴脸谄媚
We do whatever pays the wages
大爷有赏，我们来者不拒
Sunset Boulevard, headline boulevard
凡人之梦，不过你我之梦
Getting here is only the beginning
日落大道啊，瞩目的街
Sunset Boulevard, jackpot boulevard
到此停留不过是一切的开始而已
Once you've won you have to go on winning
日落大道啊，暴富之街
You think I've sold out?
小赌不足以怡情
Dead right I've sold out!
你说我这是卖身求荣？
I just keep waiting for the right offer
还真让你说对了！
Comfortable quarters, regular rations
我啊，只是一直待价而沽而已
24-hour Five Star room service
一日三餐，大床暖房
And if I'm honest, I like the lady
24小时的五星级服务
I can't help being touched by her folly
若要坦诚相见，我自然喜欢那女士
I'm treading water, taking the money
无可救药地痴迷于她的愚蠢
Watching her sun set...
在泳池中撒钱，在钞票里仰泳
Well, I'm a writer!
就这么看着她日落西山
L.A.'s changed a lot over the years
别提，我还是个作家呢
Since those brave gold rush pioneers
洛杉矶这座城市啊，早大不如前了
Came in their creaky covered wagons
自那些淘金客前赴后继地
Far as they could go end of the line
乘着他们吱吱呀呀的马车来到这里
Their dreams were yours, their dreams were mine
不撞南墙不死心啊
But in those dreams were hidden dragons
不知美梦中藏匿着恶龙的利齿
Sunset Boulevard, frenzied boulevard
日落大道啊，癫狂的街
Swamped with every kind of false emotion
铺天盖地的各色虚情假意
Sunset Boulevard, brutal boulevard
日落大道啊，残忍的街
Just like you, we'll wind up in the ocean
你也一样，终将同我一道沉没在这汪洋大海里
She was sinking fast, I threw a rope
她行将就木，我不过丢出绳索
Now I have suits and she has hope
如今我身着华服，她更满怀期翼
It seemed an elegant solution
看来皆大欢喜
One day this must end, it isn't real
审判之日终将到来，便是虚假人生
Still I'll enjoy a hearty meal
我仍要饮下一杯鸩酒
Before tomorrow's execution
静待灰飞烟灭降临
Sunset Boulevard, ruthless boulevard
日落大道啊，冷漠的街
Destination for the stony-hearted
铁石心肠的终点
Sunset Boulevard, lethal boulevard
日落大道啊，致命的街
Everyone's forgotten how they started
追梦初心的坟掩
Here on Sunset Boulevard...!
就在日落大道啊
