Glenn Campbell - Lagu Manhattan Kansas Lirik Terjemahan

Manhattan, Kansas ain’t no place to have a baby
Manhattan, Kansas bukan tempat untuk punya bayi
When you got no man to give it his last name
Bila Anda tidak meminta seseorang untuk memberikannya nama belakangnya
And her folks back in Manhattan didn’t want her or her bundle
Dan orang-orang yang kembali ke Manhattan tidak menginginkannya
So she took her child and caught an evenin’ train
Jadi dia membawa anaknya dan berhasil menangkap kereta


She found a job in Denver washing dishes in a diner
Dia menemukan pekerjaan di Denver mencuci piring di restoran
At least it buys her baby milk to drink
Paling tidak ia membeli susu bayinya untuk diminum
He once told her she was pretty but the only ring it got her
Dia pernah mengatakan bahwa dia cantik tapi satu-satunya cincin yang didapatnya
Was the ring of grease that runs around the sink
Apakah cincin minyak yang mengalir di sekitar bak cuci piring


Yes she lay beside him gentle
Ya, dia berbaring di sampingnya lembut
‘Cause he told her that he loved her
Karena dia mengatakan kepadanya bahwa dia mencintainya
And he made her dance before the music played
Dan dia membuatnya menari sebelum musik dimainkan
But at least she didn’t beg him
Tapi setidaknya dia tidak memintanya
She’d rather wash her dishes
Dia lebih suka mencuci piringnya
It makes her feel as if her hands are clean
Itu membuatnya merasa seolah tangannya bersih


At night she stands there thinkin’
Pada malam hari dia berdiri di sana berpikir ‘
‘Bout the man back home in Kansas
“Bout orang itu pulang ke rumah di Kansas
And how her folks just turned away the shame
Dan bagaimana orang-orangnya hanya memalingkan malu
She stares down through the soap suds
Dia menatap ke bawah melalui sabun busa
Reaches down and pulls the drain plug
Capungkan dan tarik sumbat saluran pembuangan
And watches as Manhattan drains away
Dan jam tangan saat Manhattan mengering


Yes she lay beside him gentle
Ya, dia berbaring di sampingnya lembut
‘Cause he told her that he loved her
Karena dia mengatakan kepadanya bahwa dia mencintainya
And he made her dance before the music played
Dan dia membuatnya menari sebelum musik dimainkan
But at least she didn’t beg him
Tapi setidaknya dia tidak memintanya
She’d rather wash her dishes
Dia lebih suka mencuci piringnya
It makes her feel as if her hands are clean
Itu membuatnya merasa seolah tangannya bersih


Yes it makes her feel as if her hands are clean
Ya itu membuatnya merasa seolah tangannya bersih
