He'd done this run for a long time now
这条邮路他已跑了很久
And he don't know why and
不知为何坚持 也不知如何坚守
He don't know how

But he'd never been late so
但从未迟到的纪录
They called him 'Dead on Time'

He painted the name on the bonnet in black
他将这名字用黑漆印在车头
And the station kids on the mailman's track

Would all look out for the
总翘首盼望着那抹
Dust of 'Dead On Time'

Would all look out for

The dust of 'Dead On Time'
等待"准时"扬起的尘土
I gotta be back for the kid's birthday
我得赶回去参加孩子的生日会
The mailman said as he waved hooray

And wheeled his truck on the long
驾驶着他的卡车
Haul homeward bound
踏上漫长的归途
The wife's gonna make him a chocolate cake

They made me promise that I won't be late

I'll see you again when I come next time around
下次路过时我们还会相见
I'll see you again when I come next time around

But 'Dead On Time' ran outta luck
但"准时先生"这次运气用尽
And he couldn't believe when his good old truck
当那辆老卡车突然罢工时
Ground to a halt with a burnt out bearing whine
轴承烧毁发出刺耳哀鸣
Not a tree in sight and the water bag low
四野无树 水袋也将见底
Not a hope in hell of getting her to go
她已无望再启程
Didn't look too good at all for 'Dead On Time'
“准时”先生处境堪忧
Didn't look too good at all for 'Dead On Time'

A birthday party and a chocolate cake
生日派对与巧克力蛋糕
Went dancin' across the dry salt lake
在干涸盐湖上翩然起舞
Where the mirage met
幻影交织之处
With the distant timber line
与远方林线相接
And the silent truck threw a meagre shade
沉默卡车投下斑驳阴影
Over the plea for help that he made
他在绝望中写下的求救信号
Scratched in the dirt on
被刻在尘土飞扬的
The road by "Dead On Time'
那条"准时先生"必经之路
He'd done this run for a long time now
这条邮路他已跑了很久
And he don't know why
他不明白缘由
And he don't know how
也说不清缘由
But he'd never been late
但他从未迟到过
So they called him 'Dead on Time'
所以人们叫他"准时先生"
He painted the name on the bonnet in black

And the station kids on the mailman's track
沿途车站的孩子们
Still look out for the dust of "Dead On Time'
翘首期盼着"准时先生"扬起的尘土
