Casey’s Last Ride(Album Version) - Kris Kristofferson

Casey's Last Ride - Kris Kristofferson

Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walking down
Casey也同那些沉默的人们一样走着，传来空荡的脚步声
The stairway to the subway in the shadows down below
通往地铁的台阶，在阴影之中向下蔓延
Following their footsteps through the neon-darkened corridors
沿着他们的脚印，穿过灰暗霓虹灯照射的走廊
Of silent desperation never speaking to a soul
无声的绝望，从不对灵魂言语
The poison air he's breathing has the dirty smell of dying
他呼吸着有毒的空气，空气中弥漫着死亡的恶臭
'Cos it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain
因为这空气从未让阳光照耀，从未让雨露滋润
But Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes
但Casey小心地躲避暗箭，无视那
Of the clicking of the turnstiles and the rattle of his chains
无视那十字转门咔咔，链条咯咯的致命回声
"Oh " she said: "Casey it's been so long since I've seen you
哦，她说，Casey，很久没有看到你了
"Here " she said: "just a kiss to make a body smile
这里，她说，一个吻就能让一具行尸走肉微笑
"See " she said: "I've put on new stockings just to please you
看，她说，为了取悦你，我穿上了新的丝袜
"Lord " she said "Casey can you only stay a while "
天啊，她说，Casey，你能待一会儿吗
Casey leaves the underground and stops inside The Golden Crown
Casey离开了地下，停在了金光闪耀的地方
For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones
需要些潮湿的东西来拭去他骨中的寒意
Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men
在所有孤独男人生活中看到他的倒影
Who reach for anything they can to keep from going home
他们都在寻找能够不回家的理由
Standing in the corner Casey drinks his pint of bitter
站在角落，Casey喝着发苦的啤酒
Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing by
人们从身旁经过的时候，决不看一眼镜子
Then he stumbles as he's leaving and he wonders if the reason
然后他蹒跚着离开，推想原因会不会
Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye
是他肚子里的是啤酒，或者是他眼中的是泪水
"Oh " she said: "I suppose you seldom think about me
哦，她说，我猜你很少想起我
"Now " she said: "now that you've a family of your own
既然，她说，既然你已经有了自己的家庭
"Still " she said: "It's so blessed good to feel your body
仍旧，她说，感受到你身体，如此幸运
"Lord " she said: "Casey it's a shame to be alone
天啊，她说，Casey，孤独一人真是让人羞愧
