Gumtrees By The Roadway (2004 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty/Dick Carr And His Buckaroos
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Tonight here by the roadside
今夜我独自停驻在路旁
After drivin' hard all day
终日奔波后稍作停歇
Dreamin' of the old folks
梦中又见故乡双亲
And a homestead o'er the way
和那远方熟悉的屋檐
In dreams I see the old place
恍惚间旧居浮现眼前
I'll be there within a week
归期已近在七日之间
Where there's gum trees by the roadway
路旁桉树依旧挺拔
And the willows by the creek
溪畔垂柳仍舞翩跹
I see the homestead cattle
我看见牧场上的牛群
As around the place they roam
在农舍周围悠闲漫步
The old man with the horses
父亲独自牵着马儿
On the fields of gold alone
在金黄的田野间耕作
And mother in the doorway
母亲伫立在门廊前
Just to make this scene complete
让这幅画面更显圆满
With gum trees by the roadway
桉树伫立在道路旁
And the willows by the creek
溪畔垂柳仍舞翩跹
I'd like to tell my story
让我用最朴实的语言
In a simple kind of way
讲述这段尘封往事
It happened to many hundreds
在战火纷飞的年代里
In this war torn world today
千万人都有相似故事
I heard the call for duty
当祖国召唤响起时
So I donned the khaki suit
我披上戎装踏上征途
And I marched 'way from the gumtrees
告别桉树婆娑的故乡
And the willows by the creek
溪畔垂柳仍舞翩跹
Now when the war was over
当战争终于结束
And we much the victory mile
我们凯旋而归
The tiles with home walk broken
故乡的小路已残破
And from there I stayed of while
我在此稍作停留
I feld up with some fellows
与几个伙伴结伴
Just to live on easy stricks
只为轻松度日
At the God of bell the gumtrees
在教堂钟声下的桉树旁
And the willows by the creek
溪畔垂柳仍舞翩跹
But when you land in trouble
当你深陷困境之时
And you're placed behind those bars
身陷囹圄铁窗之后
That's when you start dreaming
便会开始魂牵梦萦
Of the country moon and stars
故乡的星月与田畴
And when at last they free you
待到重获自由之日
And you step out on the street
步履蹒跚出街头
Nothing then could hold you
世间再无羁绊能阻
From the homestead by the creek
归心似箭向溪流
That's why tonight I'm standing
这就是为何今夜我驻足
By this cheery roadside fire
在这欢快的篝火旁
Takin' in the country
感受乡野的气息
Underneath the summer stars
在夏夜的星空下
From now on you will find me
从今往后你将寻到我
Where the air is fresh and sweet
在那空气清新甜美的地方
Where forever there'll be gum trees
那里永远有桉树挺立
And the willows by the creek
溪畔垂柳仍舞翩跹
