[Verse 1]

You get a shiver in the dark

It’s raining in the park but meantime

South of the river you stop and you hold everything

河的南邊你停下腳步，握住一切

A band is blowing Dixie double four time

You feel alright when you hear the music ring

聽到音樂響起時你感覺很好

[Verse 2]

You step inside but you don’t see too many faces

你走進去，但沒看到太多面孔

Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down

Competition in other places

其他地方的競爭

But the horns they blowin’ that sound

但號角吹響了那聲音

Way on down south, way on down south London town

遠在南方，遠在倫敦南方

[Chorus]

Check out guitar George, he knows all the chords

看看吉他手喬治，他懂得所有和弦

Mind he’s strictly rhythm he doesn’t want to make it cry or sing

注意他只彈節奏，不想讓它哭泣或歌唱

They said an old guitar is all he can afford

他們說他只能買得起一把舊吉他

When he gets up under the lights to play his thing

當他站在燈光下演奏他的東西

[Verse 3]

And Harry doesn’t mind if he doesn’t make the scene

Saving it up for Friday night

為星期五晚上存點能量

With the Sultans, with the Sultans of Swing

與蘇丹樂隊，與搖擺蘇丹一起

Mind he’s strictly rhythm he doesn’t want to make it cry or sing

When he gets up under the lights to play his thing

[Verse 4]

Then a crowd of young boys they’re fooling around in the corner

然後一群年輕男孩在角落裡嬉鬧

Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles

醉醺醺地穿著最好的棕色寬鬆褲和高跟鞋

They don’t give a damn about any trumpet playing band

他們一點也不在乎什麼小號樂隊

It ain’t what they call rock and roll

這不是他們所說的搖滾樂

And the Sultans, yeah, the Sultans they played Creole

而蘇丹樂隊，是的，蘇丹樂隊演奏了克里奧爾

[Chorus]

Check out guitar George, he knows all the chords

Mind he’s strictly rhythm he doesn’t want to make it cry or sing

When he gets up under the lights to play his thing

當他站在燈光下演奏他的東西

[Outro]

And then the man he steps right up to the microphone

然後那個男人走上前到麥克風前

And says at last just as the time bell rings

終於在時間鈴響時說

“Goodnight, now it’s time to go home”

“晚安，現在是回家的時候了”

Then he makes it fast with one more thing

然後他快速補充一件事

“We are the Sultans, we are the Sultans of Swing”

“我們是蘇丹樂隊，我們是搖擺蘇丹”
