Gather round boys and a tale
孩子们都围过来听我讲
I will tell about Joade the rodeo clown
我要说说牛仔小丑乔德的故事
This happy feller keep the cowboys
这个快乐的人儿总能把牛仔们
Together after they hit the ground
从摔倒的地上扶起
He once was a fighter and a saddle bronc
他曾是个斗士 骑术精湛的牛仔
Rider and all around hell of a hand
是个无所不能的好手
But a bull got him down away from
但一头公牛把他撞倒
The clown he lived but not ride again
他活了下来 却再也不能骑马
But rodeo was burned deep in his soul
但竞技场的烙印已深深刻入他灵魂
And his heart just wouldn't let go
炽热的心始终不愿放手
He didn't want cowboys hooked
他不愿见牛仔们被公牛勾住
By the bulls so he took to clowin' the show
于是扮成小丑守护赛场
With grease paint and red nose
油彩红鼻旧衣衫
And baggy old clothes
破旧布袋作衣裳
His track shoes barreled and bloomed
跑鞋沾满沙尘与花香
He earned his keep a fightin' the bulls
以血肉之躯搏斗公牛便是他的勋章
And savin' us hard ridin' fools
他总在拯救我们这些莽撞的骑手
I was down in the well and hung in my rope
我曾坠入深井 悬在绳上挣扎
In a show in old west Texas town
在那德州西部老镇的竞技场
The man who saved me from chain
将我从锁链与地狱救出的人
And hells was Joade the rodeo clown
正是牛仔小丑乔德
The bull gored old Joade
公牛用狰狞的角刺穿老乔德
With his terrible old horns
那对可怕的犄角
Then stomped and mauled him around
又将他践踏撕扯
One of my buddies dragged me away
一位同伴将我拽离现场
But Joade lay dead on the ground
而乔德已静静躺在地上
The preacher they found for the funeral well
他们找来主持葬礼的牧师
He didn't have a whole lot to say
却对乔德知之甚少
He didn't know Joade or about rodeo life
他不了解乔德 也不懂竞技人生
So all he could do was to pray
最后只能低头祷告
There's many a cowboy that owes him
多少牛仔欠他救命之恩
His life and the children all loved him too
孩子们也都深爱着他
There were lines on his face
他脸上刻满皱纹
And each one was a trace
每道都是岁月痕迹
Of the laughter the miles and the blues
记录着欢笑 跋涉与忧伤
So barkeep get with it and set em up
酒保快斟满酒杯
Again I'm buyin' this next round
这轮酒我来请客
And if there's any man here
若在场有哪位好汉
Who can't drink to old Joade
不愿为老乔德举杯
Then he better just get the hell out
那就趁早滚出这里
