今天翻譯的這首 Golden G String 是在 2017 、 2018 年附近所寫的歌，在歌詞中描述著擁有一些 “好牌” – 好的條件、資源、和背景，卻沒有好好利用，還直接或間接地有點決定了你的命運的那些人。
歌詞中文翻譯
I woke up in Montecito
我在加州的蒙特西托起床
I was thinkin’ about my life
我在想著我的人生
And the questions made more questions
然後問題帶出更多問題
Starin’ out into the night
向外凝視著夜晚
Yes, I’ve worn the golden G-string
是的，我穿著金色丁字褲
Put my hand into hellfire
將我的手放入地獄之火
I did it all to make you love me and to feel alive
我做這些只為了讓你愛我並感覺活著
Oh, that’s just the world that we’re livin’ in
噢，那就是這個我們存活的世界
The old boys hold all the cards and they ain’t playin’ gin
那些老男孩抱著所有好牌而他們沒有在用
You dare to call me crazy, have you looked around this place?
你膽敢說我瘋狂，你有看看周圍了嗎?
I should walk away

Oh, I should walk away

But I think I’ll stay

There are layers to this body
這個身體有很多層
Primal sex and primal shame
原始的性和原始的恥辱
They told me I should cover it
他們告訴我我應該遮蓋它
So I went the other way
所以我往另一邊走
I was tryin’ to own my power

Still I’m tryin’ to work it out

And at least it gives the paper somethin’ they can write about

And oh, that’s just the world that we’re livin’ in

The old boys hold all the cards and they ain’t playin’ gin

You dare to call me crazy, have you looked around this place?

But I think I’ll stay

So the mad man’s in the big chair

And his heart’s an iron vault

He says “If you can’t make ends meet, honey, it must be your fault”

We all focus on the winners

And get blinded by their shine

Maybe caring for each other’s just too 1969
