Old Rivers - Ary Barroso
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
How old was I when I first seen old rivers
初见老河时我尚年幼
I can't remember when he weren't around
记忆中他从未离开过
Well that old fellow did a heap of work
那老人一生辛勤劳作
Spent his whole life walkin' plowed ground
终日行走在犁过的田垄
He had the one roomed shack not far from us sun
他有间向阳的单间小屋
Well we's about as poor as him
我们和他一样贫穷
He had one old mule he called midnight
有头叫午夜的骡子为伴
And I'd trailed along after then
而我总爱跟在他们身后
He used to plow them rows straight and deep
他总将田垄犁得笔直又深邃
And I'd come along there behind
而我紧随其后
A bustin' up plows
赤脚踢开泥块
With my own bare feet
在犁沟间奔跑
Old rivers he was a friend of mine
老河啊 他是我挚友
The sun had get high and that mule he'd work
烈日当空骡子仍劳作
Old rivers he'd finally say whoa
老河终会喊声"吁"
He'd wipe his brow and lean back on the reins gen
抹去汗水 轻拽缰绳歇息
He'd talk about that place he's gonna go
他常说起那片向往的乐土
And say one of these days
总说总有一天
I'm gonna climb that mountain
我要攀上那座高山
Walk up there among them clouds
漫步云端之上
Where the cotton's high and the corns're growin'
那里棉花高耸 玉米茁壮
And there ain't no fields to plow
再没有田地要耕作
I got a letter today from the folks back home
今日收到家乡来信
They're all fine the crop's dry
家人都好 只是庄稼干旱
Down near them in mom said shown
就在妈妈指的那片地方
You know old rivers died
你知道老河已经离世
Sittin' here now on this new plowed earth
如今坐在这新翻的泥土上
Tryin' find me a little shade
想找一小片阴凉
With the sun beatin' down cross the fields I see
阳光灼烧着田野 我仿佛看见
That mule old rivers and me
那头骡子 老河 和我
Now one of these days I'm gonna climb that mountain
总有一天我要爬上那座山
Walk up there among them clouds
漫步云端之上
Where the cotton's high and the corns're growin'
那里棉花高耸 玉米茁壮
And there ain't no fields to plow
再没有田地要耕作
The sun beatin' down across the fields I see
阳光炙烤着我眼前这片土地
That mule old rivers and me
那头骡子 老河 和我
