Those other years the dusty years
那些尘封的岁月
We drove the big hers through
我们驱赶着庞大的牛群
I tried to forget the miles we rode
试图忘却驰骋的千里
And Spanish Johnny too
还有西班牙人强尼
He'd sit beside a water ditch
他常静坐在水沟旁
When all this herd was in
当牛群全都归来时
And he'd never harm a child
从不会伤害孩童
But sing to his mandolin
只弹着曼陀铃低吟
The old talk the old ways
那些陈年往事 那些旧日方式
And the dealin' of our game
还有我们游戏的规则
But Spanish Johnny never spoke
但西班牙强尼从不开口
Sing a song of Spain
唱一首西班牙的歌谣
And his talk with men was vicious talk
他与人交谈时言语刻薄
When he was drunk on gin
当他在杜松子酒中沉醉
Ah but those were golden things
啊 但那些都是金玉良言
He said to his mandolin
他对他的曼陀林倾诉
We had to stand we tried to judge
我们不得不挺身而出 试图审判
We had to stop him then

For the hand so gentle to a child
那双对孩子如此温柔的手
Had killed so many men
却沾染了无数鲜血
He died a hard death long ago
他在久远前痛苦离世
Before the road come in
道路尚未延伸至此
And the night before he swung
就在绞刑前夜
He sung to his mandolin
他仍弹着曼陀林低吟
Well we carried him out in the mornin' sun
我们在晨光中将他抬出
A man that done no good
这个从未行善的男人
And we lowered him down in the cold clay
将他沉入冰冷的黏土
Stuck in a cross of wood
钉在木十字架上
And a letter we wrote to his kinfolk
我们写了封信给他亲人
To tell them where he'd been
告知他最后的归处
And we shipped it out to Mexico
连同他的曼陀林琴
Along with his mandolin
一起寄往墨西哥
