How Long Is This Train - Dan Tyminski
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
How long is this train son
这列车要开多久啊 孩子
I heard his fragile voice
我听见他虚弱的嗓音
I didn't want to listen but there really was no choice
本不愿听清 却不得不听清
It seems like it goes on forever
铁轨仿佛延伸至永恒
And I waited for so long
而我已等待半生
The old man's breath came slow
老人呼吸渐渐沉重
And smelled of whiskey in the dawn
晨光中飘着威士忌的苦闷
On a cold November morning
在十一月寒冷的清晨
In the gentle mist of rain
细雨轻雾弥漫
There's just so many reasons
人们等待列车到来
That people wait to meet a train
各有各的期盼
And as I waited for my sister to
当我等候妹妹走下
Come down the metal stairs
那金属阶梯时
He told me that his son had
他告诉我他的儿子
Not been home in fifteen years
已十五年未归家
And I barely seemed to notice the tears behind his face
我几乎没察觉 他面容背后隐藏的泪痕
But his wishes were no
但他的心愿
Strangers to the people in this place
与站台上的人们并无不同
The old man stood there waiting for
老人伫立等候着
A young man dressed in blue
那位身着蓝装的年轻人
Then he handed him a neatly
直到对方递来一面
Folded flag and said for you
折叠整齐的旗帜 轻声说给您
He said your son he died
他说您的儿子已牺牲
A hero in the service of this flag
一位为这面旗帜效忠的英雄
The old man took it gently put it in his paper bag
老人轻轻接过 将它放入纸袋中
Then I left him in the rain there but I'd still hear his voice
我留他在雨中 却仍听见他的声音
I try hard not to listen
我努力不去倾听
But there really is no choice
却终究无法选择
On a cold November morning
在十一月寒冷的清晨
In the gentle mist of rain
细雨轻雾弥漫
There's just so many reasons
人们等待列车到来
That people wait to meet a train
各有各的期盼
How long is this train son
这列车要开多久啊 孩子
I can hear the pouring rain
我听见倾盆大雨的声音
I'm still reminded of him
每当列车经过时
When I hear a passing train
我仍会想起他的身影
