Written by:Slim Dusty/Tex Morton
One night I was strollin' the time seemed to drag
某夜我漫步 时光仿佛停滞不前
I paused for a drink from the bronze water bag
我停下脚步 从青铜水袋中饮水
That old Paddy Hannan holds out all the while
老帕迪·汉南一直守护着这片土地
And I'll swear that he slipped me a wink and a smile
我发誓他向我眨了眨眼 露出微笑
Born on the breeze came the throb of the mines
微风拂来 矿脉的脉动随之而至
And up in the city the mid nightly chimes
城市上空 午夜的钟声回荡
And the ghosts of the past and Paddy and I
往昔的幽灵 帕迪与我
Delved in the realms of the days long gone by
一同探寻那逝去已久的岁月
From all the world over adventurers came
来自世界各地的冒险者们齐聚一堂
To gamble their lives on the Nullarbor plain
在纳拉伯平原上赌上自己的生命
They'd fight and they'd laugh they'd love and they'd live
他们战斗、欢笑、相爱、生活
And they'd die as they saw what the earth had to give
并在见证大地的馈赠后死去
For how many times has the story been told
这个故事被讲述了多少次
On the fields they all knew there are two kinds of gold
在他们熟悉的土地上,有两种黄金
There's the gold that men die for and struggle and strive
一种是人们为之奋斗、为之牺牲的黄金
And the gold we call water that keeps men alive
另一种是我们称之为水的黄金,它让生命得以延续
We can only imagine their perils and fears
我们只能想象他们的危险与恐惧
The hardships the heartaches their triumphs and tears
那些艰辛、心碎、胜利与泪水
Dame fortune was fickle while many she spurned
命运女神反复无常,许多人被她抛弃
She smiled upon others some never returned
她却对另一些人微笑,有些人再未归来
Today there are younger strong hands at the reins
如今,年轻有力的手掌握着缰绳
But the gallant old prospector always remains
但那位勇敢的老探矿者永远存在
He's there in the sunset the trees and the dust
他在夕阳中,在树木与尘土中
His spirit is ours in his land our trust
他的精神与我们同在,这片土地是我们的信仰
Oh he's there sure enough in the big school of mines
哦,他确实在那里,在那座矿业大学中
In the books in the children those brave little vines
在书本里,在孩子们心中,那些勇敢的小藤蔓
For the soul does not die as it passes the years
因为灵魂不会随着岁月流逝而消逝
And what braver men than the old pioneers
还有谁能比那些老先驱者更勇敢呢
So old Paddy Hannan sits there on his throne
所以老帕迪·汉南坐在他的宝座上
And dreams of the past and the days he had known
回忆着过去和他曾经熟悉的日子
The clothes that he wears are not much for style
他穿的衣服并不时髦
But who cares for that on the old golden mile
但在那条古老的黄金之路上,谁会在意这些呢
Yes old Paddy Hannan in sunshine or rain
无论晴雨,老Paddy Hannan依旧在那里
Dwells in the street which carries his name
他居住在以他名字命名的街道上
His majesty watches out there all alone
他独自守望,威严依旧
The King of Kalgoorlie on his street corner throne
Kalgoorlie的国王,坐在街角的王座上
