以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I wish you had written me a letter
多希望你曾为我留下一封信笺
I wish you had told me before
多希望你能早些向我倾诉
Before your mind was too old
在你记忆尚未被岁月侵蚀之前
'Cause I would have liked to have known you better
我多想更深入地了解你
Like my daughter knows me now
就像如今女儿了解我这般
I would have liked some answers
我渴望得到些许答案
I would have liked some answers
我渴望得到些许答案
But now no one can say
但如今已无人能解答
What it meant to see your daddy die
目睹父亲离世的痛楚
Under that tractor on that black hill
在那黑山下的拖拉机旁
How you painted your pretty face
你每日精心描画妆容
And did your hair each day
梳理秀发的模样
Before you fetched my father's pills
在取药照料父亲之前
You could have done a few things better
你本可以不必如此坚强
You didn't have to be so strong
不必独自承担所有
You might have been the answer
或许你本可以是解药
You might have been the answer
或许你本可以是解药
But now no one can say
但如今已无人能解答
How we would've all turned out
若你曾坦诚相告
If you had told it like you saw it
我们的结局会怎样
You knew how to smile
你懂得如何微笑
To keep the rest from finding out
只为掩饰那些秘密
What was hanging in our closet
藏在我们心底的过往
We still say you're closer to Jesus
我们仍说你比谁都更接近上帝
Than anyone we've ever known
胜过我们曾认识的任何人
Oh what a cross to carry
啊 这是多么沉重的十字架
'Cause you did everything to please us
因你竭尽所能取悦我们
And now you're sitting in a home
如今你却独坐家中
I bet you'd like some answers
我猜你渴望得到答案
I bet you'd like some answers
我猜你渴望得到答案
But now no one can sing
但如今再无人能歌唱
The third verse of that hymn you played
你曾弹奏的那首赞美诗第三节
On that old organ in the parlor
在老客厅里的旧风琴上
But if you let me I'd fill your ears
若你允许 我愿将你给予的爱
With all the love you gave
化作絮语填满你耳畔
And then you'd ask me how I knew her
然后你会问我如何了解她
Oh I like to think that I did
我愿相信我真的了解
Because each day she seems
因为每一天她在镜中
A little closer in the mirror
都仿佛离我更近了些
But we all know you're gone
但我们都知道你已离去
And no one really knows you now
如今再无人真正了解你
Did you not want us to remember
难道你不愿我们铭记
