Let Me Die in My Footsteps (Remaster) - Bob Dylan
Written by:Bob Dylan
I will not go down under the ground
我不会寿终正寝
'Cause somebody tells me that death's comin' 'round
因为有人告诉我 死亡就要来临
An' I will not carry myself down to die
我不会允许自己伏地而死
When I go to my grave my head will be high
在被装进棺穴的时候 我的头要高高昂起
Let me die in my footsteps
让我带着自尊离开
Mm before I go down under the ground
在我寿终正寝之前
There's been rumors of war and wars that have been
战争的流言和战争的开始
The meaning of life has been lost in the wind
生活的意义已随风而逝
And some people thinking that the end is close by
人们认为死亡已经临近
'Stead of learning to live they are learning to die
他们不再学习如何生活 而在学习如何死亡
Let me die in my footsteps
让我带着自尊离开
Mm before I go down under the ground
在我寿终正寝之前
I don't know if I'm smart but I think I can see
我不知道我是否机智 但我想我能预见
When someone is pulling the wool over me
当我们正被欺骗
And if this war comes and death's all around
如果这场战争到来 死亡无处不在
Let me die on this land 'fore I die underground
就让我死在这片土地上 在我寿终正寝之前
Let me die in my footsteps
让我带着自尊离开
Mm before I go down under the ground
在我寿终正寝之前
There's always been people that have to cause fear
战争引发了人类的恐惧
They've been talkin' about a war now for many long years
他们谈论它已多年
I have read all their statements and I've not said a word
我了解他们的观点 却从不开口发言
But now Lord God let my poor voice be heard
但是现在上帝让我说出我的心声
Let me die in my footsteps
让我带着自尊离开
Mm before I go down under the ground
在我寿终正寝之前
If I had rubies and riches and crowns
如果我有珍宝 财富和皇冠
I'd buy the whole world and change things around
我会买下整个世界 改变周围的一切
I'd throw all the guns and the tanks in the sea
我会把所有的枪和坦克都扔进海里
For they are mistakes of a past history
因为他们是历史的错误
Let me die in my footsteps
让我带着自尊离开
Before I go down under the ground
在我寿终正寝之前
Let me drink from the waters where the mountain streams flood
让我喝涌出的山涧之水
Let me smell of wildflowers flow free through my blood
让我嗅沁入心脾的野花之香
Let me sleep in your meadows with the green grassy leaves
让我睡在你的牧场上 与青青绿草为伍
Let me walk down the highway with my brother in peace
让我在恬淡中与兄弟自由的漫步
Let me die in my footsteps
让我带着自尊离开
Before I go down under the ground
在我寿终正寝之前
Go out in your country where the land meets the sun
走出你的光明之地
See the craters and the canyons where the waterfalls run
去看看炮弹留下的痕迹
Nevada New Mexico Arizona Idaho
内华达 新墨西哥州 亚利桑那 爱达荷
Let every state in this union seep in your souls
让每一个州都团结起来 渗透在你的灵魂深处
And you'll die in your footsteps
带着你的自尊离开
Before you go down under the ground
在你寿终正寝之前
