The Streets Of Laredo (Album Version) - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)
As I walked out on the streets of Laredo
当我走在Laredo的街道上
As I walked out on Laredo one day
当我有一天走在Laredo
I spied a poor cowboy wrapped in white linen
我找到裹在白色亚麻布里的一个穷的牧场男孩
Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay
裹在亚麻布里看起来冷如泥土
"I can see by your outfit that you are a cowboy"
我可以看到你的全套装备,你是一个牧场男孩
These words he did say as I boldly walked by
当我大胆地从他的身边走过他说出了这些话
"Come an' sit down beside me an' hear my sad story
来吧坐在我身旁来听听我悲伤的故事
"I'm shot in the breast an' I know I must die"
我的胸部被击中了,我知道我会死
"It was once in the saddle I used to go dashing
那是一次我掌权的时候,我过去常常很潇洒
"Once in the saddle I used to go gay
一旦掌权,我常常会过放荡不羁的生活
"First to the card-house and then down to Rose's
一开始去了纸牌屋然后去了Rose家
"But I'm shot in the breast and I'm dying today"
但是我的胸部被击中了,我知道我今天会死
"Get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin
找六个欢乐的牧场男孩来抬我的棺材
"Six dance-hall maidens to bear up my pall
六个舞女来套上我的棺罩
"Throw bunches of roses all over my coffin
在我的棺材里扔满玫瑰花
"Roses to deaden the clods as they fall"
当玫瑰花凋谢时也就失去了生机
"Then beat the drum slowly play the Fife lowly
然后慢慢地敲着鼓,慢慢地吹着笛子
"Play the dead march as you carry me along
播放着送葬曲好像你就在我身边
"Take me to the green valley lay the sod o'er me
带我去绿色山谷,让草覆盖我
"I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong"
我是一个年轻的牧场男孩,我知道我做错了
"Then go write a letter to my grey-haired mother
给我年迈的母亲写一封信
"An' tell her the cowboy that she loved has gone
告诉她她,爱着的牧场男孩要离开了
"But please not one word of the man who had killed me
但是求求你不要提起关于杀了我的男人的任何一个词
"Don't mention his name and his name will pass on"
不要提起他的名字,他的名字会消失的
When thus he had spoken the hot sun was setting
当他说完,炎热的太阳落山了
The streets of Laredo grew cold as the clay
Laredo的街道开始变冷就像泥土一样
We took the young cowboy down to the green valley
我们带着年轻的牧场男孩去了绿色的山谷
And there stands his marker we made to this day
这里有他的标签,我们做的,为了今天
We beat the drum slowly and played the Fife lowly
我们慢慢地敲着鼓,慢慢地吹着笛子
Played the dead march as we carried him along
播放着送葬曲好像我们就在他身边
Down in the green valley laid the sod o'er him

He was a young cowboy and he said he'd done wrong
他是一个牧场男孩,他说他做错了
