Title: Telegraph Road
Guitar Solo
A long time ago came a man on a track
很久以前,一名男子沿着小路来到这里
Walking thirty miles with a sac on his back
他背着麻袋步行了三十英里
And he put down his load where he thought it was the best
他在心仪之地放下行囊
And he made a home in the wilderness
而且在一片荒野之中建起家园
He built a cabin and a winter store
他盖了间小木屋,建了个过冬的仓库
And he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore
然后在那冰冷的湖岸边犁出田地
And the other travellers came riding down the track
然后其他旅行者沿路而来
And they never went further and they never went back
他们从未走得更远,也没有再回去
Then came the churches then came the schools
然后有了教堂,有了学校
Then came the lawyers then came the rules
之后有了律师,有了规则
Then came the trains and trucks with their loads
接着有了火车和装货的卡车
And the dirty old track was the telegraph road
而那条脏乱破旧的小路就是电报路
Guitar Solo
Then came the mines - then came the ore
然后有了矿井,接着就有矿石
Then there was the hard times then there was a war
之后进入萧条期,又有了战争
Telegraph sang a song about the world outside
电报唱了一首关于外面世界的歌
Telegraph road got so deep and so wide
电报路变得那么深邃那么宽广
Like a rolling river
就像一条翻滚的河流

And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze
收音机里说今晚将进入严冬
People driving from the factories
人们从工厂里开车回家
There's six lanes of traffic
有六条车道
Three lanes moving slow
三条车道行驶缓慢

I used to like to go to work but they shut it down
我曾经喜爱去工作,但是它已关闭
I've got a right to go to work but there's no work here to be found
我有权利去工作,但是这里不再有工作
Yes and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed
是的,他们说我们必须偿还所欠的债
We're gonna have to reap from some seed that's been sowed
我们将不得不从我们曾播下的种子中去收获
And the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles
而那电线和电线杆上的鸟儿
They can always run away from this rain and this cold
它们总能逃离这场雨水和寒冷
You can hear them singing out their telegraph code
你们能够听到它们在吟唱着它们的电报密码
All the way down the telegraph road
沿着电报路一路过去
Guitar Solo
You know I'd sooner forget but I remember those nights
你知道我宁可忘记,但我仍记得那些夜晚
When life was just a bet on race between the light
当生活只是灯光间的一场赌注
You had your head on my shoulder you had your hand in my hair
曾经你把头靠在我的肩上,用手拂过我的头发
Now you act a little colder like you don't seem care
现在你表现得有些冷淡,感觉像是你不在乎似的
But believe in me baby and I'll take you away
但是相信我,宝贝,我会带你离开
From out of this darkness and into the day
离开黑暗,进入光明
From these rivers of headlights these river of rain
离开这些闪烁的车流,这些不停的雨水
From the anger that lives on the streets with these names
离开用这些冠名的街道的愤怒
'Cos I've run every rod light on memory lane
因为我曾经闯过记忆路上的每个红灯
I've seen desperation explode into flames
我曾看到绝望迸发出来的火焰
And I don't want to see it again
而我不想再次看到
From all of these signs saying sorry but we're closed
离开所有这些写着抱歉但已停业的标志
All the way
整条路
Down the telegraph road
沿着电报路
