We were standing by the river
我们站在河边
Staring into town
凝望着城市
All the world was on his shoulders
整个世界都在他的肩上
The tears were raining down
泪如雨下
All along the Southern skyline
沿着南方的天际线
City lights began to bloom
城市灯火开始绽放
He said if you only knew her
他说如果你认识她就好了
The way that I do sir
就像我做的那样先生
You would be crying too
你也会伤心落泪
If you could see Memphis the way that I do
如果你能像我一样看待孟菲斯
She would look different to you
在你眼里她会变得不一样
Queen of the Delta tip your tiara
Delta的女王让你戴上皇冠
Memphis the belle of the blues
孟菲斯蓝调之美
The streets were filled with cotton
街上到处都是棉花
And music filled the air
音乐在空中飘荡
All the paddle boats came rolling
所有的船艇都滚滚而来
From east of everywhere
来自世界各地
Now the streets are filled with silence
如今街头一片寂静
And songs no one can hear
没有人能听到的歌
But her memory lingers
但她的记忆挥之不去
It slips through my fingers
从我指缝间溜走
And into this river of tears
泪流成河
If you could see Memphis the way that I do
如果你能像我一样看待孟菲斯
She would look different to you
在你眼里她会变得不一样
Queen of the Delta tip your tiara
Delta的女王让你戴上皇冠
Memphis the belle of the blues
孟菲斯蓝调之美
So roll on roll on
所以来吧来吧
My sweet magnolia roll on
我亲爱的Magnolia尽情摇摆
How the memory lingers
记忆挥之不去
It slips through my fingers
从我指缝间溜走
And into this river of tears
泪流成河
If you could see Memphis the way that I do
如果你能像我一样看待孟菲斯
She would look different to you
在你眼里她会变得不一样
Queen of the Delta tip your tiara
Delta的女王让你戴上皇冠
Memphis the belle of the blues
孟菲斯蓝调之美
Memphis the belle of the blues
孟菲斯蓝调之美
