Charles Bukowski - “Bluebird”

查爾斯·布考斯基 - “藍鳥”

there’s a bluebird in my heart that

wants to get out

but I’m too tough for him,

I say, stay in there, I’m not going

to let anybody see

you.

there’s a bluebird in my heart that

wants to get out

but I pour whiskey on him and inhale

cigarette smoke

and the whores and the bartenders

and the grocery clerks

never know that

he’s

in there.

there’s a bluebird in my heart that.

wants to get out.

but I’m too tough for him,.

I say,.

stay down, do you want to mess.

me up?.

you want to screw up the.

works?.

you want to blow my book sales in.

Europe?

there’s a bluebird in my heart that.

wants to get out.

but I’m too clever, I only let him out.

at night sometimes.

when everybody’s asleep..

I say, I know that you’re there,.

so don’t be .

sad.

then I put him back,

but he’s singing a little

in there, I haven’t quite let him

die

and we sleep together like

that

with our

secret pact

and it’s nice enough to

make a man

weep, but I don’t

weep, do

you?

在我心里有一只藍鳥想要出去

但我對它很粗暴

我說，呆在那兒，

我不會讓任何人看見你。

在我心里有一只藍鳥想要出去

但我給它灌威士忌，讓它吸煙霧

妓女、調(diào)酒師雜貨店的伙計

永遠不知道它在那兒。

在我心里有一只藍鳥想要出去

但我對它很粗暴

我說，繼續(xù)呆著，

你想擾亂我嗎？

你想搞砸我的作品嗎？

你想讓我的詩集在歐洲賣不動嗎？

在我心里有一只藍鳥想要出去

但我很聰明，

只讓它夜晚偶爾出去

當所有人都睡著了

我說，

我知道你在那兒

所以不必傷心。

然后我?guī)Щ厮?/span>

但它的歌聲很小

在喉嚨里，我沒有很快讓它死

我們睡在一起就像

我們秘密的協(xié)議

它很好，

足以讓一個男人哭泣，

但我不會哭泣，

你呢？
