Where Grass Won't Grow (Album Version) - George Jones (乔治·琼斯)
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
The dirt was clay and was the color of the blood in me
红土如血 浸透我的血脉
A twelve acre farm on a ridge in south Tennessee
十二英亩田 栖在田州南岭上
We left our sweat all over that land behind a mule we watched grow old
骡马渐老时 汗滴浸透荒原
Row after row
垄沟连垄沟
Tryin' to grow corn and cotton on ground so poor that grass won't grow
贫瘠连野草都枯萎 偏要种出棉与谷
There was one old store in the holler we all called town
山坳里孤店 便是我们的小镇
It belonged to a gentle old man named Henry Brown
店主亨利布朗 慈祥如冬阳
He gave us credit in the winter time so we could live through the cold
寒冬赊账度日 全凭他心肠热
When the winds brought snow
当寒风裹挟着雪花呼啸而来
Tryin' to grow corn and cotton on ground so poor that grass won't grow
贫瘠连野草都枯萎 偏要种出棉与谷
Oh the one I loved walked through those fields with me
我曾深爱的姑娘 与我并肩走过这片田野
She was a hard workin' woman true as one could be
她是如此勤劳坚韧 世间再难寻这般真心
Oh but then one year death was goin' round and swiftly took it's toll
直到那年死神肆虐 无情地带走太多生命
Janie had to go
珍妮也永远离去
Now she lies asleep under ground so poor that grass won't grow
如今她长眠的土地 贫瘠得连野草都不愿生长
As I stand here looking over this part of Tennessee
当我驻足凝望 这片田纳西的故土
The fields are bare as far as the eye can see
放眼望去 田野一片荒芜
And over the grave where Janie lies there's a beautiful sight to behold
珍妮安息之处 却绽放着令人惊叹的美丽
And no one knows
无人知晓
Why there's flowers growing on ground so poor that grass won't grow
为何在这连草都不生的贫瘠土地上 竟开出花朵
