The Drover's Ballad - Elton John (艾尔顿·约翰)
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
From the sunburnt plains of far off north Australia
来自遥远北澳的烈日灼烧平原
Came a fella born to ride the wide brown land
有个天生就该驰骋辽阔棕土的男人
Oh he grew up running wild
他狂野不羁地长大
But soon by all was styled
却很快被众人誉为
As the country's greatest ever droving man
这个国度最伟大的牧牛人
Oh his legend rode the winds from Broome to Darwin
他的传奇随风传遍布鲁姆到达尔文
They loved and loathed him right from end to end
人们对他爱恨交织遍及每个角落
When the drover gave his heart
当这位牧人献出真心
To a girl whose skin was dark
爱上一位深色肌肤的姑娘
From that day on he was no white man's friend
从那天起 他被白人同胞唾弃
So goes the drover's story you'll hear it near and far
牧牛人的故事口耳相传
And in the end it's all he'll ever own
最终这故事成为他仅有的财富
It says the outcast is a free man
传说被放逐者若以星空为帐
If he sleeps under the stars
便是自由之身
Makes the blanket of the southern skies his home
将南十字星穹当作归宿
Then they called him up to fight for Mother England
而后他们召他为英格兰母亲而战
In a far off war that spilled his brother's blood
远方战火吞噬手足鲜血
Inside the jaw's of hell
地狱深渊之中
Where both his brother's fell
兄弟双双陨落
He just watched his faith in man die in the mud
他目睹对人性的信仰深陷泥泞
There was no hero's welcome for the drover
没有英雄凯旋的礼遇
Just a country that had turned its back on him
只有祖国背弃的冷漠
When he came home from the war
当他从战场归来
His sick wife they would not cure
病榻上的爱妻却遭拒医
They let her die for the colour of his skin
他们因他肤色不同 任由她逝去
So goes the drover's story you'll hear it near and far
牧牛人的故事口耳相传
And in the end it's all he'll ever own
最终这故事成为他仅有的财富
It says the outcast is a free man
传说被放逐者若以星空为帐
If he sleeps under the stars
便是自由之身
Makes the blanket of the southern skies his home
将南十字星穹当作归宿
The drover is a man of constant shadows
牧牛人永远与阴影同行
Haunted by his pain his past and name
被痛苦 往事与名姓所纠缠
For every mile he rides
他每骑行一英里
What he cannot hide
都无法掩饰
Is the longing in his heart to love again
心中对再次相爱的渴望
So goes the drover's story you'll hear it near and far
牧牛人的故事口耳相传
And in the end it's all he'll ever own
最终这故事成为他仅有的财富
It says the outcast is a free man
传说被放逐者若以星空为帐
If he sleeps under the stars
便是自由之身
Makes the blanket of the southern skies his home
将南十字星穹当作归宿
Makes the blanket of the southern skies his home
将南十字星穹当作归宿
His home
他的归宿
