Casey's Last Ride - Kris Kristofferson

Written by：Kris Kristofferson

Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walking down
凯西加入沉默的人群之中
The stairway to the subway in the shadows down below
走下阴影中的地铁阶梯
Following their footsteps through the neon-darkened corridors
随着他们的脚步穿过
Of silent desperation never speakin' to a soul
绝望无声的走廊，不与何人神交
The poison air he's breathin' has the dirty smell of dying
他呼吸着死亡气息般的污染空气
'Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain
因为它未见阳光，也未逢雨露
But Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes
凯西只想着箭矢，却忽略了
Of the clickin' of the turnstiles and the rattle of his chains
某人开门时铰链转响—-产生的致命回声
Oh she said Casey it's been so long since I've seen you
“噢！”她说，“凯西，好久不见！”
Here she said just a kiss to make a body smile
“这儿”，她说，“吻我。”
See she said I've put on new stockings just to please you
“瞧”，她说，“我为你穿了新袜子。为了让你喜欢。”
Lord she said Casey can you only stay a while
“主啊”，她叹道，“凯西，你不可以多留一会儿么？”
Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the golden crown
凯西走出地铁，停在金冠站台边
For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bone
得有点湿润玩意儿，才能抹掉他骨骸上附着的冰冷
Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men
看着他自己在云云孤独男人中的折射
Who reach for anything they can to keep from goin' home
那些抓住一切机会不回家的孤独男人们
Standin' in the corner Casey drinks his pint of bitter
站在角落里，凯西喝了一品脱苦酒
Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing by
一眼不瞧镜中映出的匆匆路人
Then he stumbles as he's leaving and he wonders if the reason
是腹中苦酒，还是眼中涩泪？
Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye
然后他挣扎着站起，正要离去。他好奇着原因：
Oh she said I suppose you seldom think about me
“噢！”她说，“我以为你不会想起我。”
Now she said now that you've a family of your own
“现在”，她说，“你也有了你自己的家庭。”
Still she said it's so blessed good to feel your body
“总之”，她说，“感受你的身体仍是如此愉悦。”
Lord she said Casey it's a shame to be alone
“主啊”，她叹道，“凯西，孤独的人是可耻的。”
