El Paso - John Denver

El Paso - John Denver (约翰·丹佛)

Out in the West Texas town of El Paso
在西德克萨斯的艾尔帕索镇外
I fell in love with a Mexican girl
我和一个墨西哥女孩坠入爱河
Nighttime would find me in Rosa's cantina
我在罗萨的酒店度过夜晚时光
The music would play and Felina would whirl
每当乐声响起费莉娜翩翩起舞
Black as the night were the eyes of Felina
费莉娜的眼睛比那夜空更要黑
Wicked and evil while casting their spell
她的咒语看上去狡猾而又邪恶
My love was deep for this Mexican maiden
这个墨西哥女郎让我深陷爱河
I was in love but in vain I could tell
可出于自负我无法将爱说出口
One night a wild young cowboy came in
那夜一个野蛮的牛仔闯进店中
As wild as the West Texas wind
就像西德克萨斯的风那样狂野
Dashing and daring a drink he was sharing
他大胆而又活跃，举杯痛饮着
With wicked Felina the girl that I loved
就和我所爱的女孩费莉娜一起
So in anger I challenged his right for the love of this maiden
为爱怒火烧的我向他提出挑战
Down went his hand to the gun that he wore
他那一只握着枪的手垂向下了
My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat
我的挑战就在瞬间得到了回答
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor
那英俊的年轻陌生人倒地而死
Just for a moment I stood there in silence
我孤身站在那里沉默了一会儿
Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done
为自己做下的蠢事而感到震惊
Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there
当我站在那许多念头涌现心头
I had but one chance and that was to run
除了逃跑之外我没有别的选择
Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran
我穿过罗萨酒店的后门逃走了
Out where the horses were tied
在那小酒店的门外拴着几匹马
I found a good one it looked like it could run
我挑选了一匹看上去善跑的马
Upon his back and away I did ride just as fast as I could
跃上它的背我就开始逃亡之路
From the West Texas town of El Paso
从西德克萨斯的艾尔帕索这里
Out to the badlands of New Mexico
朝着新墨西哥的荒野疾驰而去
Back in El Paso my life would be worthless
回到艾尔帕索我的命将会不保
Everything's gone in life nothing is left
生命中的所有一切都离我而去
But it's been so long since I've seen my young maiden
自从我遇见那女郎时光多漫长
My love is stronger than my fear of death
我的爱意比心中的恐惧更强烈
I saddled up and away I did go
我跨上了马背在远方四处流浪
Riding alone in the dark
在那漆黑的夜晚我孤独的骑行
Maybe tomorrow a bullet will find me
也许明天一颗子弹就会击中我
Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart
今夜再没什么能超越心中的痛
And at last here I am on a hill overlooking El Paso
最后我站在山顶俯瞰艾尔帕索
I can see Rosa's cantina below
我能看清山下的罗萨的小酒店
My love is strong and it pushes me onward

Down off the hill to Felina I go
骑下山去寻找我所爱的费莉娜
Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys
在我的右方有五个骑马的牛仔
Off to my left ride a dozen or more
在我的左面有不止一群的敌人
Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me
喊叫着开着火但我不能被抓住
I have to make it to Rosa's back door
我必须到达罗萨小酒店的后门
Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel
我感到有地方出了可怕的错误
A deep burning pain in my side
我身上一阵可怕的疼痛在灼烧
Though I am trying to stay in this saddle
尽管我试图在马背上坐稳身子
I'm growing weary unable to ride
但我变得非常疲劳无法再骑马
But my love for Felina is strong though I rise where I've fallen
但我对费莉娜的爱是如此强烈，我多希望能从摔倒之处站起来
Though I am weary I can't stop to rest
尽管我非常疲劳但我决不止步
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle
我看见远处的步枪冒出了白烟
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest
我感到子弹已经穿进了我胸部
From out of nowhere Felina has found me
最后费莉娜终于把我给找到了
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side
亲吻着我的脸颊跪倒在我身旁
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for
我将死在费莉娜温暖的怀抱中
One little kiss and Felina goodbye
送上轻轻一吻，费莉娜，别了
