Written by：Thompson Hank

Now I was down upon my luck
那时我正霉运当头
And the jobs were hard to find
工作机会难觅踪影
I was sort of short on cash
手头拮据囊中羞涩
And my bills were way behind
账单堆积无力偿还
So I went to see my life long friend
于是我去找毕生挚友
An old man now by trade
如今他已功成名就
I figured it's how he had help me out
想着他既已飞黄腾达
With his fortune he had made
定能解我燃眉之急
I said old pal I need your help
老友啊 我急需你相助
I hate to be so bold
冒昧开口实属无奈
But remember when I saved your life
可还记得那年泳池畔
Down at the swimming hole'
我曾救你性命来
Now I'd like to ask a favor
如今想请你行个方便
If you can see your way
若你愿意慷慨
I'd like to have a little loan
能否借我些许钱财
And then I heard him say
只听他这般道来
Excuse me total stranger
抱歉 完全陌生的先生
I can't seem to recall
我实在想不起来
Are you absolutely certain
你能否百分之百确定
That we've ever met at all
我们曾经相识
I'd really like to help you out
我真心想帮助你
As he opened wide the door
当他敞开门扉时
So long total stranger
再会了 素未谋面的陌生人
That I've never seen before
我从未见过的陌路人
Now once I had a girlfriend
我曾有位红颜知己
Who really caught my eye
她让我一见倾心
And when the wife was out of town
每当妻子外出时
Well I'd court her on the sly
我便与她暗通款曲
We'd taken all the nightclubs
我们逛遍夜总会
And honky tonk around
流连于乡村酒吧
Join at all the parties
参加各种派对
And really do the town
尽情享乐狂欢
But then one night my wife came home
直到某夜妻子突然归来
She must have smelled a rat
她定是嗅到了蛛丝马迹
She looked around from place to place
她四处搜寻每个角落
And found where I was at
最终发现我的藏身之处
Well there we were all cuddled up
我们正相拥而卧
I knew that I was dead
我自知大祸临头
But before my wife could say a word
未等妻子开口质问
I jumped right up and said
我抢先跳起来狡辩
She's just a total stranger
她不过是个陌路人
Who came in off the streets
刚从街上走进来
The place is kinda crowded
店里有点拥挤
So I offered her a seat
所以我让了个座
Now I couldn't leave this lady
总不能看着这位女士
Just a standin' on the floor
一直站在地板上
She's just a total stranger
她不过是个陌路人
That I've never seen before
我从未见过的陌路人
My friend said let's go huntin'
老友说咱们去打猎吧
I've got the gun and chills
我握着猎枪浑身发颤
The birds are really flyin'
鸟儿正漫天飞舞
And I think we'll do quite well
看来收获会很可观
He killed a half a dozen
他打下六只飞禽后
Then said I supposed
突然对我说
I really ought to tell you
有件事得告诉你
That the huntin' season's closed
现在可是禁猎时候
About that time he heard a noise
就在那时他听见声响
And he ducked behind a tree
迅速躲到树后藏身
He took the gun shelled some birds
他装弹射落几只飞鸟
And gave them all to me
全都塞进我手心
Up stepped the old game warden
老护林员突然出现
And found me standing there
发现我呆立原地
Before I had a chance to talk
未等我开口解释
I heard my friend declare
就听见朋友高声宣称
He's just a total stranger
他只是个陌路人
And I was passing by
我恰巧路过此地
I saw this total stranger
看见这个陌生男子
Shoot those birds out of the sky
将飞鸟击落天际
It's a shame the way some people
可叹世人如此肆意
The laws they do ignore
将法规视若无物
Like this total stranger
就像这个陌路客
That I've never seen before
我从未见过的陌路人
