The Jordan Waltz - David Roth

The Jordan Waltz - David Roth

Here's a quiet little song about a man who did a good thing
有一首清唱的小曲，讲述的是一个好人的故事
Tired of the status quo although it brought the world to him
厌倦了现在的生活状况
He had a loss and we can only guess at the effect of that
他受到了亏损，我们只能猜到产生的影响
So I guess it's finally time for us to leave him alone
所以我猜这是他最后一次离我们而去
He walks away from something that the world has somehow glorified
他离开这个一直被赞美的世界
It takes it's hold so early on that few can fight the pull
一早就受到掌控，很少有人能与之抗争
It's the lure of big time money and of hope and fame and glory
这是金钱，希望，名声以及荣誉的诱惑
That it has it's price and probably always will
它的价值将一直保持下去
The greatest thing that you can do
你能做的最伟大的事
Is walk away when you are through
就是在一切结束的时候，转身离去
No matter what they want from you no matter what they say
无论他们想从你这里得到什么，无论他们说什么
You're the only one who'll ever know
你是唯一的知情人
Just when it's right to let it go
只管在适当的时候放手吧
But I'm still glad I got to see you play
但我还是很高兴看到你参与进来
I won't mourn you left the game I'd want the right to do the same
如果你失败了，我不会难过，我想要做同样事情的权利
And not because the younger guns are taking their best shots
不是因为年轻人有优势
You took them all and more than once and somehow did this graciously
你不止一次为他们考虑，而且非常和蔼
In spite of all the scrutiny the Nureyev of roundball
不顾一切详细审查，Nureyev的舞会
I hope you have a good life you deserve to have it back by now
我希望你有一个好的生活 此刻你值得回到更好的生活中去
To wrestle with your children to watch a sunset now and then
和孩子们玩耍摔跤，时而看看日落
Remembering there are much bigger things
记得还有很重要的事情
Than bouncing balls and winning rings
比玩弹力球和赢得戒指还重要
Like love and health and family and friends
例如爱情，健康，家庭以及朋友
The greatest thing that you have done
你所做的最伟大的事情
Is walked away at number one
就是第一个离去
No matter what we want from you no matter what we say

You're the only one who'll ever know

I hope we have the chance again someday
