Gentle On My Mind - John Hartford
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
It's knowin' that your door is always open
深知你永远为我敞开大门
And your path is free to walk
前路自由 任我徜徉
That makes me tend to leave
这让我总忍不住想离开
My sleepin' bag
收起睡袋
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
卷好藏在你沙发后方
And it's knowin'
更因为明白
I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds
未被遗忘的誓言束缚捆绑
And the ink stains
墨痕斑驳
That have dried upon some lines
干涸在字里行间
That keeps you in the back roads
将你留在乡间小径
By the rivers of my memory
在我记忆的河畔
And keeps you ever gentle on my mind
让你永远温柔驻留心间
It's not clingin' to the rocks and ivy
不是攀附岩石的常春藤
Planted on their columns now that binds me
缠绕石柱将我束缚
Or somethin' that somebody said
也不是谁人的闲言碎语
Because they thought we fit together walkin'
只因世人以为我们携手同行天造地设
It's just knowin'
此刻才懂得
That the world will not be cursin' or forgivin'
这世界既不会诅咒 也永不宽恕
When I walk along
当我独自沿着
Some railroad track and find
荒芜铁轨行走时发现
That you're moving on the back roads
你已辗转在乡间小路
By the rivers of my memory
在我记忆的河畔
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind
经年累月 你依然温柔萦绕我心
Although the wheat fields and the curled twines
尽管麦田与藤蔓交织
And the junkyards
还有废料场
And the highways come between us
和公路将我们阻隔
And some other woman cryin' to her mother
当另一个女人向母亲哭诉
'Cause she turned and I was gone
转身时我已消失无踪
I still might run in silence
我仍会默默奔跑
Tears of joy might stain my face
喜悦的泪水或许划过脸庞
And the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind
盛夏骄阳或许灼伤我的双眼
But not to where I cannot see you
但并非远到看不见你的身影
Walkin' on the back roads
漫步在乡间小路上
By the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind
河边流水潺潺 萦绕我心
I dip my cup of soup back from the gurglin'
我从汩汩沸腾的锅中舀起一勺汤
Cracklin' cauldron in some train yard
在某个火车调车场里 柴火噼啪作响
My beard a roughenin' coal pile
我的胡须像煤堆般粗糙
And a dirty hat pulled low across my face
脏旧的帽子低低压在脸上
Through cupped hands 'round a tin can
双手捧着铁罐取暖
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
我假装将你拥入怀中 却发现
That you're wavin' from the back roads
你仍在乡间小路向我挥手
By the rivers of my memory
在我记忆的河畔
Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind
永远温柔地停驻心间
