One night in Bangkok Murray Head
(Benny Andersson, Tim Rice, Bjorn Ulvaeus)
*One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me
Bangkok, Oriental setting
And the city don't know what the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world
In a show with everything but Yul Brynner (註 1)
Time flies, doesn't seem a minute
Since the Tirolean Spa had the chess boys in it
All change
Don't you know that when you play at this level
There's no ordinary venue
It's Iceland or the Philippines
Or Hastings or, or this place
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a God in every golden cloister
And if you're lucky then the God's a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
One town's very like another
When your head's down over your pieces, Brother
It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity
To be looking at the board, not looking at the city
Whaddya mean?
Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town
Tea, girls, warm and sweet
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham (註 2) Suite
'Get Thai'd', you're talking to a tourist
Whose every move's among the purest
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine (*)
Siam's gonna be the witness
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
This grips me more than would
A muddy old river or Reclining Buddha
But thank God
I'm only watching the game, controlling it
I don't see you guys rating
The kind of mate I'm contemplating
I'd let you watch, I would invite you
But the queens we use would not excite you
So you better go back to your bars, your temples
Your massage parlors
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a God in every golden cloister
A little flesh, a little history
I can feel an angel sliding up to me (*) |
曼谷一夜 莫瑞海德
在曼谷待上一夜，讓硬漢變得謙卑
絕望與狂喜之間並無太大區別
在曼谷待上一夜，讓硬漢倒下
對你的伴侶不能掉以輕心
我感覺到魔鬼就在我身邊行走
曼谷，充滿東方風情
這座城市不知道自己得到了什麼
西洋棋世界裡的精英
在一場除了尤伯連納之外什麼都有的表演中
時光飛逝，似乎一分鐘都不到
自從蒂羅爾溫泉開始有西洋棋男孩開始
一切都變了
難道你不知道參加這種級別的比賽
不會是一般的場地
是冰島，或是菲律賓
黑斯廷斯，還是這個地方
在曼谷待上一夜，世界盡在你的掌握中
酒吧就是寺廟，但珍珠並非免費
每個金色迴廊裡你都可以找到上帝
運氣好的話，上帝還是個"她"
我可以感覺到天使向我滑來
一個城鎮與另一個城鎮非常相似
當你低頭看著你的棋子時，兄弟
這令人不爽、無聊，還真的很可惜
盯著棋盤，而不是觀看城市
你什麼意思？
你已見識過一個擁擠、污染、惡臭的城鎮
茶、女孩，溫暖又甜蜜
有些被安置在薩默塞特·毛姆的套房
" 到了泰國 "，你在跟遊客說話
他的一舉一動都是最純粹的
比腰圍和陽光更令我感到愉快
暹羅將成為見證者
對這正常理智的終極測試
一條渾濁不清的老河流或是臥佛
比我想像的更讓我著迷
但感謝上帝
我只是在觀看、操控比賽
我沒看到你們
對我正在考慮的伴侶類型進行評分
我會讓你觀看、會邀請你
但我們使用的皇后們不會讓你興奮
所以你最好回到你的酒吧、你的寺院
你的按摩院
在曼谷待上一夜，世界在你的掌握中
酒吧就是寺廟，但珍珠並非免費
每個金色迴廊裡你都可以找到上帝
一點血肉，一些歷史
我可以感覺到天使向我滑來 |
