You get a shiver in the dark

//

It's raining in the park but meantime

公园下着大雨

South of the river you stop and you hold everything

你站在河的南岸 手拎所有东西

A band is blowing Dixie double four time

一个乐队吹着南方小调 四遍又四遍

You feel alright when you hear that music ring

音乐响起时你感觉很不错

You step inside but you don't see too many faces

于是你走进去 发现里面人并不太多

Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down

Too much competition too many other places

从雨里走进来 继续听爵士乐的演奏

爵士乐哪里都有

But not too many horns can make that sound

但并不没有很多喇叭能吹出这种声音

Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town

如此浓郁正宗的南方London乡镇风味

You check out Guitar George he knows all the chords

你仔细打量吉他手George 他会弹所有的和弦

Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing

他只是严格按照节奏 不想弹出呜咽或是欢悦的旋律

And an old guitar is all he can afford

一张旧吉他就是他的所有

When he gets up under the lights to play his thing

当他站起来在灯光下弹奏的时候

And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene

Harry不在乎他是否引人注目

He's got a daytime job he's doing alright

他有一份白天的工作并且干得不错

He can play honky tonk just like anything

他能把宏亮的高音吹得如同任何音阶

Saving it up for Friday night

作为星期五晚上

With the Sultans with the Sultans of Swing

Sultans的保留曲目

And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner now

一群年轻的男孩挤在角落

Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles

他们穿着最好的褐色吊档裤和厚底鞋 喝得烂醉

They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band

It ain't what they call rock and roll

他们根本对任何吹奏喇叭的乐队不屑一顾

那不是他们所谓的摇滚乐

And the Sultans and the Sultans played Creole Creole

Sultans演奏的是Creole

And the man he steps right up to the microphone

一个男人走到麦克风前说话

And says at last just as the time bell rings

这时钟声刚好响起

'Goodnight now it's time to go home'

晚安各位 现在该回家睡觉了

And he makes it fast with one more thing

他很快又加了一句

'We are the Sultans we are the sultans of Swing'

我们是Sultans of Swing
