Sunset Boulevard (US 1994Musical "Sunset Boulevard")
Sure, I came out here to make my name
是啊，我來此為留姓名
Wanted my pool, my dose of fame
渴求我的一方泳池，一劑名譽
Wanted my parking space at Warners
渴求一個位於華納兄弟的停車地
But after a year, a one room hell
然而一年過去，一方人間地獄
A Murphy bed, a rancid smell
一張折疊床，一陣腐臭氣息
Wallpaper peeling at the corners
牆角的壁紙斑斑駁駁
Sunset Boulevard, twisting boulevard
日落大道啊，扭曲的街
Secretive and rich , a little scary
神秘莫測，富麗堂皇，又不寒而栗
Sunset Boulevard, tempting boulevard
日落大道啊，誘人的街
Waiting there to swallow the unwary
靜候於此吞噬無知的來客
Dreams are not enough to win a war
理想不足以與現實匹敵
Out here theyre always keeping score
罄竹記錄著言行
Beneath the tan the battle rages
污濁之下是硝煙四起
Smile a rented smile, fill someones glass
笑啊，虛偽地笑啊，斟滿誰的酒杯
Kiss someones wife, kiss someones ass
擁他嬌妻入懷，對他嘴臉諂媚
We do whatever pays the wages
大爺有賞，我們來者不拒
Sunset Boulevard, headline boulevard
凡人之夢，不過你我之夢
Getting here is only the beginning
日落大道啊，矚目的街
Sunset Boulevard, jackpot boulevard
到此停留不過是一切的開始而已
Once youve won you have to go on winning
日落大道啊，暴富之街
You think Ive sold out?
小賭不足以怡情
Dead right Ive sold out!
你說我這是賣身求榮？
I just keep waiting for the right offer
還真讓你說對了！
Comfortable quarters, regular rations
我啊，只是一直待價而沽而已
24-hour Five Star room service
一日三餐，大床暖房
And if Im honest, I like the lady
24小時的五星級服務
I cant help being touched by her folly
若要坦誠相見，我自然喜歡那女士
Im treading water, taking the money
無可救藥地痴迷於她的愚蠢
Watching her sun set...
在泳池中撒錢，在鈔票裡仰泳
Well,Im a writer!
就這麼看著她日落西山
L.A.s changed a lot over the years
別提，我還是個作家呢
Since those brave gold rush pioneers
洛杉磯這座城市啊，早大不如前了
Came in their creaky covered wagons
自那些淘金客前赴後繼地
Far as they could go end of the line
乘著他們吱吱呀呀的馬車來到這裡
Their dreams were yours, their dreams were mine
不撞南牆不死心啊
But in those dreams were hidden dragons
不知美夢中藏匿著惡龍的利齒
Sunset Boulevard, frenzied boulevard
日落大道啊，癲狂的街
Swamped with every kind of false emotion
鋪天蓋地的各色虛情假意
Sunset Boulevard, brutal boulevard
日落大道啊，殘忍的街
Just like you, well wind up in the ocean
你也一樣，終將同我一道沉沒在這汪洋大海裡
She was sinking fast, I threw a rope
她行將就木，我不過丟出繩索
Now I have suits and she has hope
如今我身著華服，她更滿懷期翼
It seemed an elegant solution
看來皆大歡喜
One day this must end, it isnt real
審判之日終將到來，便是虛假人生
Still Ill enjoy a hearty meal
我仍要飲下一杯鴆酒
Before tomorrows execution
靜待灰飛煙滅降臨
Sunset Boulevard, ruthless boulevard
日落大道啊，冷漠的街
Destination for the stony-hearted
鐵石心腸的終點
Sunset Boulevard, lethal boulevard
日落大道啊，致命的街
Everyones forgotten how they started
追夢初心的墳掩
Here on Sunset Boulevard...!
就在日落大道啊
