Ballad for a Friend (Witmark Demo - 1962) - Bob Dylan
Sad I'm sittin' on the railroad track
我悲伤地坐在铁轨上
Watchin' that old smokestack
望着破烟囱
Train is a-leavin' bit it won't be back
离去的火车再也不会回来
Years ago we hung around
从前我们一起闲逛
Watchin' trains roll through the town
看着穿城而过的火车
Now that train is a-graveyard bound
而现在,火车成了墓园的界限
Where we go up in that North Country
我们在北国流浪
Lakes and streams and mines so free
山川河流如此自由
I had no better friend than he
他是我最好的朋友
Something happened to him that day
那天,他出事了
I thought I heard a stranger say
我恍然听到了一个奇怪的声音
I hung my head and stole away
我抱头逃窜
A diesel truck was rollin' slow
一辆柴油车缓慢驶来
Pullin' down a heavy load
卸下的重物
It left him on a Utah road
把他留在了犹他的公路
They carried him back to his home town
他们把他送回故乡
His mother cried his sister moaned
母亲恸哭,姐妹嚎啕
Listin' to them church bells tone
聆听教堂的赞歌
