Streets Of Laredo(Album Version) - Johnny Cash

As I walked out on the streets of Laredo
当我漫步在拉雷多街头
As I walked out on Laredo one day
某日我漫步在拉雷多街头
I spied a poor cowboy wrapped in white linen
瞥见一位可怜牛仔，身裹白麻布
Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay
白布裹身，寒如冻土
"I can see by your outfit that you are a cowboy "
“观汝衣着，便知同是牛仔”
These words he did say as I boldly walked by
当我大步走过，他如此说道
"Come an' sit down beside me an' hear my sad story
“请君近前，听我悲戚往事”
"I'm shot in the breast an' I know I must die "
“我胸中弹，此番必死无疑”
"It was once in the saddle I used to go dashing
曾几何时，我策马扬鞭，意气风发
"Once in the saddle I used to go gay
曾几何时，我策马扬鞭，纵情欢畅
"First to the card-house and then down to Rose's
先去赌场试手，再到罗丝的酒馆
"But I'm shot in the breast and I'm dying today "
可如今我胸口中弹，命不久矣
"Get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin
请六位豪迈牛仔，为我抬棺
"Six dance-hall maidens to bear up my pall
再请六位舞厅女郎，为我扶柩
"Throw bunches of roses all over my coffin
将束束玫瑰，洒满我的棺椁
"Roses to deaden the clods as they fall "
让玫瑰缓冲土块，落下时的撞击
"Then beat the drum slowly play the Fife lowly
缓缓击鼓 幽幽吹笛
"Play the dead march as you carry me along
奏起哀乐 伴我缓缓前行
"Take me to the green valley lay the sod o'er me
带我去那翠绿山谷 轻轻盖上黄土
"I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong "
我是个年轻牛仔 自知犯下过错
"Then go write a letter to my grey-haired mother
然后给我白发母亲 写封信吧
"An' tell her the cowboy that she loved has gone
告诉她 她最爱的牛仔已经走了
"But please not one word of the man who had killed me
但千万别提那个夺我性命的人
"Don't mention his name and his name will pass on "
别提起他的名字 让他被世人遗忘
When thus he had spoken the hot sun was setting
当他说完这些话时 烈日已然西沉
The streets of Laredo grew cold as the clay
拉雷多街头 寒意如泥土般蔓延
We took the young cowboy down to the green valley
我们将年轻的牛仔 带往那绿意盎然的山谷
And there stands his marker we made to this day
至今 他的墓碑仍静立于此 那是我们为他所立
We beat the drum slowly and played the Fife lowly
我们缓击鼓点 低吹长笛
Played the dead march as we carried him along
奏响哀乐 一路将他护送
Down in the green valley laid the sod o'er him
在那绿谷深处 我们为他覆上泥土
He was a young cowboy and he said he'd done wrong
他曾是年少的牛仔 曾言自己犯下过错
