The Weary Blues - Langston Hughes
[00:00.000] 作词 : Langston...
[00:00.000] 作词 : Langston Hughes
[00:01.000] 作曲 : Langston Hughes
[01:01.831]Droning a drowsy syncopated tune,
[01:05.474]Rocking back and forth to a mellow croon,
[01:08.606]I heard a Negro play.
[01:12.811]Down on Lenox Avenue the other night
[01:15.699]By the pale dull pallor of an old gas light
[01:19.651]He did a lazy sway . . .
[01:21.976]He did a lazy sway . . .
[01:23.817]To the tune o' those Weary Blues.
[01:29.019]With his ebony hands on each ivory key
[01:31.108]He made that poor piano moan with melody.
[01:35.014]O Blues!
[01:38.139]Swaying to and fro on his rickety stool
[01:41.012]He played that sad raggy tune like a musical fool.
[01:44.948]Sweet Blues!
[01:48.618]Coming from a black man's soul.
[01:50.955]O Blues!
[01:56.175]In a deep song voice with a melancholy tone
[01:59.848]I heard that Negro sing, that old piano moan—
[02:04.866]"Ain't got nobody in all this world,
[02:08.245]Ain't got nobody but ma self.
[02:11.396]I's gwine to quit ma frownin'
[02:13.728]And put ma troubles on the shelf."
[02:17.905]
[02:18.939]Thump, thump, thump, went his foot on the floor.
[02:22.608]He played a few chords then he sang some more—
[02:25.235]"I got the Weary Blues
[02:26.802]And I can't be satisfied.
[02:29.656]Got the Weary Blues
[02:31.460]And can't be satisfied—
[02:34.300]I ain't happy no mo'
[02:36.663]And I wish that I had died."
[02:41.124]And far into the night he crooned that tune.
[02:44.242]The stars went out and so did the moon.
[02:47.396]The singer stopped playing and went to bed
[02:51.571]While the Weary Blues echoed through his head.
[02:54.969]He slept like a rock or a man that's dead.
