In The Shadow Of A lie - George Jones (乔治·琼斯)
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I lead a rich rewarding life a wife a home a car
我生活富足美满 有妻有房有车相伴
But generally you can find me down in some dim lit bar
却总在昏暗酒吧里独自买醉消遣
I hold all the treasures of the world this fact I can't deny
坐拥世间珍宝 这事实无可争辩
But I'm living yes I'm living in the shadow of a lie
可我始终活在谎言的阴影里面
My wife's first husband and myself were on a fishin' trip
曾与亡妻前夫结伴 泛舟垂钓湖间
He was in our rowboat me on shore when I saw my partner slip
见他失足落水时 我却在岸上冷眼旁观
A hellish thing took hold of me and I delayed my rescue dash
恶魔攫住我的心 故意延误救援时间
Still I knew my lover husband had finally breathed his last
明知挚爱的丈夫 终将永别人间
I took his body back to town and restrained a happy smile
我将他遗体带回镇上 强颜欢笑掩藏真相
When they said there'd be a hearin' wouldn't even be a trial
听闻无需庭审时 连审判都成了奢望
That a fine upstanding citizen like me could do no wrong
像我这般体面正直的公民 怎会犯下罪状
And the walls between me and my love would finally soon be gone
横亘在我与挚爱间的藩篱 终将坍塌消亡
Now just when my world glows brightest and warm thoughts run through my head
正当我的世界沐浴荣光 暖意涌上心房
A chilling darkness hovers like a demon over head
刺骨黑暗却如恶魔 在头顶盘旋游荡
And sometimes the guilt inside me reigns so strong I hope to die
有时内疚如潮吞没 令我渴求死亡
For I'm living is it living in the shadow of a lie
活在谎言阴影里 这算活着还是假象
