Lyrics by:Randy Jeffrey
Composed by:Randy Jeffrey
By a candle burned low
烛光渐弱
In a cold Dublin room
在都柏林冰冷的房间
Ink on my fingers
指尖墨痕未干
Smoke in the gloom
烟雾弥漫在昏暗中
I wrote you a promise
我为你写下誓言
On a scrap of brown seam
在粗糙的纸片上
Folded our future
将我们的未来折叠
Between every line and dream
字里行间,梦境深藏
These are the words
这些字句
She never read
她从未读起
All of the love
所有深情
He never said
他未曾吐露
Time closed the door
时光已将门扉紧闭
And turned instead
却转身离去
On the words
那些字句
She never read
她从未读起
I wrote of boots along the quay
我写下码头边军靴的声响
Of a marching past the Post Office green
亦有队伍踏过邮局前的绿茵
How every shout of for the free
每一声为自由而发的呼唤
Still left me thinking of her sleeve
却总让我想起她的衣袖
A locket at her collarbone
锁骨间那枚小小的坠饰
Pressed my thumb into the page
我将拇指深深按入纸页
I carry you beneath this coat
我将你珍藏于这衣衫之下
Closer than this borrowed blade
比这借来的刀刃更贴近
Did she marry by the harbor
她是否在港湾边许下婚约
Did she light a midnight lamp
她是否也曾点亮午夜的灯盏
Did she scan each Sunday paper
她是否曾细阅每一份周日报纸
For a face
只为寻觅一张熟悉的面庞
For a name
只为寻找我的姓名
I was buried with my comrades
我已与战友们一同长眠地下
Unmarked earth
在那无碑的土地上
Unspoken prayer
伴着无人言说的祷告
While my heart
我的心啊
Folded four times over
折叠四次
Waited
痴痴守候
Still waiting
仍在期盼
In the air
飘散在空中
These are the words
这些字句
She never read
她从未读起
All of the love
所有深情
He never said
他未曾吐露
Time closed the door
时光已将门扉紧闭
And turned instead
却转身离去
On the words
那些字句
She never read
她从未读起
The cottage leans into the weather
小屋在风雨中倾颓
Fields gone wild where we once dreamed
我们曾梦想的田野已荒芜
Ink has bled
墨迹已然洇开
But still it whispers
但它仍低声回荡
All the love time couldn't keep
时光未能挽留的挚爱
These are the words she never read
这些字句 她从未曾读起
Soft as breath on linen thread
轻柔如呼吸 拂过亚麻细线
A hundred years between my pen
笔墨流转 百年光阴已逝
She never knew how much I loved her then
她从不知晓 彼时我爱她何其深切
