Riding With Private Malone - David Ball

Riding With Private Malone - David Ball
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I was just out of the service
我刚退伍归来
Thumbing through the classifieds
翻阅着分类广告
When an ad that said Old Chevy
一则"老雪佛兰"的告示
Somehow caught my eye
莫名吸引我目光
The lady didn't know the year or even if it ran
那位女士不知年份 甚至不确定能否发动
But I had that thousand dollars in my hand
但我手中紧握着那一千美元
It was way back in the corner of this old ramshackle barn
它静静停在那破旧谷仓的角落
With thirty years of dust and
三十年的尘灰堆积
Dirt on that green army tarp
覆盖着那绿色军用帆布
And when I pulled the cover off
当我掀开遮蔽的刹那
It took away my breath
震撼得无法呼吸
What she called a Chevy was a sixty-six Corvette
她口中的雪佛兰 实为六六年的科尔维特
And I felt a little guilty as I counted out the bills
数着钞票时 我心中泛起一丝愧疚
But what a thrill I got when
但当我
I sat behind the wheel
握上方向盘的瞬间 热血沸腾
I opened up the glove box
我打开储物箱
And that's when I found the note
发现了那封泛黄的信笺
The date was 1966
落款日期1966年
And this is what he wrote
字迹斑驳诉说着
He said My name is Private Andrew Malone
"我是二等兵安德鲁·马隆
And if you're reading this
若你读到这些文字
Then I didn't make it home
说明我未能归乡"
But for every dream that's shattered
每个破碎的梦想背后
Another one comes true
又一个梦想成真
This car was once a dream
这辆车曾是我的梦想
Of mine now it belongs to you
如今它属于你
Though you may take her
尽管你可以带走她
And make her your own
让她成为你的所有
You'll always be riding with Private Malone
但你永远与二等兵马龙同行
Well it didn't take me long at all
没过多久
I had her running good
我就让她焕发新生
I loved to hear those horses thunder
我总爱听引擎如骏马嘶鸣
Underneath her hood
在车盖下奔腾
I had her shining like a diamond
将她擦拭如钻石般闪耀
And I put the rag top down
我敞开软顶篷
All the pretty girls would stop
所有漂亮姑娘驻足
And stare as I drove her through town
凝望我驾车穿过街巷
The buttons on the radio
收音机的调频按钮
Didn't seem to work quite right
似乎总不太灵光
But it picked up that oldies show
收音机里传来怀旧金曲
Especially late at night
尤其在夜深人静时分
I get the feeling sometimes
恍惚间我总有种错觉
If I turned real quick I'd see
若猛然回头就能看见
A soldier riding shotgun
有位士兵端坐在副驾
In the seat right next to me
就在我身旁那个座位
It was a young man named Private Andrew Malone
那是名叫安德鲁·马隆的年轻列兵
Who fought for his country
他曾为国奋战沙场
And never made it home
却再未能回到故乡
But for every dream that's shattered
每个破碎的梦想背后
Another one comes true
又一个梦想成真
This car was once a dream of his
这辆车承载他当年憧憬
Back when it was new
崭新出厂时的模样
He told me to take her and make her my own
他嘱我延续这份热爱
And I was proud to be riding with Private Malone
与二等兵马龙同驰令我荣光
One night
那夜
It was raining hard
暴雨倾盆
I took the curve too fast
我转弯太急
I still don't remember much about that fiery crash
对那场烈火中的车祸仍记忆模糊
But someone said they thought
但有人说看见
They saw a soldier pull me out
一名士兵将我拽出
They didn't get his name
他们不知其名
But I know without a doubt
我却无比确信
It was a young man named Private Andrew Malone
那是名叫安德鲁·马隆的年轻列兵
Who fought for his country
他曾为国奋战沙场
And never made it home
却再未能回到故乡
But for every dream that's shattered
每个破碎的梦想背后
Another one comes true
又一个梦想成真
This car was once a dream of his
这辆车承载他当年憧憬
Back when it was new
崭新出厂时的模样
And I know I wouldn't be here
而我深知若非冥冥中的守护
If he hadn't tagged along
若非他一路相伴
And I was proud to be riding with Private Malone
与二等兵马龙同驰令我荣光
Oh thank God I was riding with Private Malone
感谢上帝让我与二等兵马龙同乘
Private Malone
二等兵马龙
