I Knew Your Father Real Well - Slim Dusty
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
G'day there young feller hey give us your hand
嘿 小伙子 来握个手吧
It's time you and me said hello
是时候咱俩打个招呼了
I nearly fell over when I saw your face
看到你的脸我差点摔倒
With a smile that I knew long ago
那笑容我多年前就熟悉
And you don't know me from a bar of soap
你完全不认识我
And you're wondering who in the hell
心里一定在纳闷
This old bloke could be and what do I want
这老家伙到底是谁 想干嘛
I knew your father real well
我和你父亲可是老交情
I knew your father real well boy
孩子 我曾与你父亲交情匪浅
In the days when our hair wasn't grey
那时我们鬓角还未染霜
But he'll never be dead son while you're still alive
但只要你活着 他就从未真正离去
I can hardly believe it today
今日重逢仍令我难以置信
When you walked in the door and up to the bar
当你推门走向吧台的身影
I could see him as clear as a bell
我仿佛看见他清晰如昨
You drink the same brand of poison he drank
你饮着他当年钟爱的烈酒
Yes I knew your father real well
是啊 我与你父亲曾是至交
Didn't he ever just mention my name
他难道从未提起过我的名字
He must have some time told a tale
想必他曾讲述过那些往事
Of the days on the stations out charleville way
在查理维尔车站的岁月
And the droving trips down new south wales
还有南下新南威尔士的赶牛之旅
A good mate he was but a bit of the lad
他是个好伙伴 却也有几分轻狂
I could tell you a story or two
我能给你讲上几段故事
Like when we hit the hungerford pub on the tear
比如我们在亨格福德酒馆的醉饮时光
And we took on the bar just we two
当年我俩独闯酒馆逞豪情
Oh he told you that story well never mind
他讲过的轶事你且莫追问
There's plenty more where that came from
那些青春往事数不胜数
The things a bloke does when he's keen on a girl
少年郎为博红颜总荒唐
Of course long before he met your mum
那远在他遇见你母亲之前
He settled down then and I stayed on the move
他安家立业我继续漂泊
But I miss my old mate on the track
至今仍怀念赛道上的老搭档
The camps and the musters and some of the yarns
那些营地与集结 还有那些陈年往事
Yes I knew your father way back
是啊 我早年间就认识你父亲
Don't tell me that stinking great road train outside
别告诉我外面那辆轰隆作响的公路列车
Is what you're droving on nowadays
就是你如今驱赶的牲口车
My old mate would turn in his grave so he would
我那老伙计若泉下有知定会辗转难眠
To see you desert the old ways
眼看你抛弃了传统的方式
But it's none of my business and I'm sorry I spoke
但这不关我的事 抱歉我多嘴了
I was wrong to because after all
我不该这么说 毕竟...
You're following still on the old pilgrims tracks
你仍追寻着朝圣者的足迹前行
Your father and I drove before
当年我与你父亲也曾这般驰骋
Yes I knew your father real well boy
孩子 我与你父亲交情匪浅
And I wish he were here by our side
多希望此刻他能与我们并肩
To join with the two of us yarning away
三人围坐畅谈往事该有多好
He'll be glad we met up you and I
他定会欣慰你我今日的相逢
Well thanks for the yarn give my best to your mum
感谢叙旧 代我问候你母亲
I bet she remembers me well
她定然还记得我当年的模样
And maybe we'll drink to old memories again yeah
或许我们会再次举杯 追忆往昔岁月
I knew your father real well the old geezer
我曾与你父亲交情甚笃 那个老家伙
I knew your father real well
我和你父亲可是老交情
