Written by：Tom T. Hall

The iowa weather was 13 below
爱荷华州零下十三度的严寒
I had come to des moines for a radio show
我为电台节目来到得梅因城
I awoke in the evening from a traveler's sleep
从旅人浅眠中黄昏醒来
With notions of something to eat
饥肠辘辘想寻些吃食
The old elevator slid down past the floors
老式电梯缓缓降过楼层
My head and my eyes said
昏沉头脑和酸涩眼睛在说
You should have slept more
你该多睡会儿的
The man at the desk said the restaurant was closed
前台说餐厅早已打烊
Outside it was 14 below
外面零下十四度严寒
The lounge was still open and so I walked in
休息室仍亮着灯 我便推门而入
In place of my food I had two double gins
以两杯双份金酒 代替晚餐果腹
I looked 'round the room
我环顾整个房间
As a tourist would do
像游客般四处打量
That's when I saw the girl in the booth
就在这时看见卡座里的姑娘
She sat there and cried in the smoky half dark
她在烟雾缭绕的昏暗中啜泣
The silent type crying that tears out your heart
那静默的眼泪 让人心碎断肠
Her clothes were not cut in the new modern way
她的衣着朴素 不赶时髦新款
And her suitcase had seen better days
破旧的行李箱 已走过太多旅程
Nobody asked her what caused her such pain
无人过问 她为何如此伤心
Nobody spoke up yet no one complained
沉默弥漫四周 却无人抱怨半声
Without even asking
甚至无需询问
I knew why she cried
我已知晓她哭泣的缘由
Life is just like that sometimes
生活有时就是这般残酷
The man at the desk said
前台的男人说道
It's 15 below
零下十五度严寒
The bellhop said yeah man
门童叹道 老天
That's cold that's cold
这冷得刺骨 冷得刺骨
I went back to my room and
我回到自己房间
I wrote down this song
写下这首歌谣
Oh it sure can get cold in des moines
得梅因的寒冬 真是彻骨难熬
