Written by：Robbins

Out in the west Texas town of El Paso
曾在德州西边的埃尔帕索镇
I fell in love with a Mexican girl
我爱上了一位墨西哥女郎
Nighttime would find me in Rose's Cantina
从此罗萨小酒馆的夜晚便多了我的身影
Music would play and Felina would whirl
酒馆响起了歌声 芙莲娜翩翩起舞
Black as the night were the eyes of Felina
她有一双黑夜般的眼睛
Wicked and evil while casting a spell
妩媚挑逗 令人着魔
My love was strong for this Mexican maiden
我深深爱着这位墨西哥女郎
I was in love but in vain I could tell
虽深爱却不过也是徒劳
One night a wild young cowboy came in
一晚酒馆来了个年轻牛仔
Wild as the west Texas wind
他如西德州的狂风般狂野
Dashing and daring a drink he was sharing
潇洒且又英勇 他举起酒杯
With wicked Felina the girl that I love
邀请妩媚的芙莲娜共饮 那个我爱着的女郎
So in anger I challenged his right for the love of this maiden
一怒之下 我上前发起了决斗 劝其知难而退
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore
他却伸手拔出了枪
My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat
一声枪响 决斗有了结果
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor
那个潇洒的年轻人倒在了地上
Just for a moment I stood there in silence
我愣了一会
Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done
对自己邪恶的行为感到震惊
Many thoughts ran through my mind as I stood there
一瞬间我脑海中思绪万千
I had but one chance and that was to run
我已走投无路只有远走高飞
Out through the back door of rose's I ran
冲出酒馆后门
Out where the horses were tied
我看着那里栓着的马
I picked a good one he looked like he could run
牵了一匹好的 看起来它跑起来应该没问题
Up on his back and away I did ride
我骑上马 尽全力骑着
Just as fast as I could from the west Texas town of El Paso
飞奔着离开 这个埃尔帕索镇
Out through the badlands of new Mexico
去到新墨西哥那不毛之地
Back in El Paso my life would be worthless
我知道若继续留在埃尔帕索 我的人生将毫无意义
Everything's gone in life nothing is left
现如今对往事的回忆消逝殆尽
But it's been so long since I've seen the young maiden
自上次见那位女郎 已经过去了很多年
My love is stronger that my fear of death
我对她的爱 却日益强烈 早已盖过了自己对死亡的恐惧
I saddled up and away I did go riding alone in the dark
骑上马我又开始出发 独自在黑夜里飞奔
Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me
也许明天 一颗子弹就将结束我的生命
Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart
今夜我心中的痛楚 无可比拟
And at last here I am on the hill overlooking El Paso
终于我回到了这里 在山上俯瞰着这埃尔帕索镇
I can see rose's Cantina below
我看到罗萨酒馆仍在那里
My love is strong and it pushes me onward
我强烈的爱推我向前
Down off the hill to Felina I go
我走下山去见芙莲娜
Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys
右手边不远处我看见几个骑着马的牛仔
Off to my left ride a dozen or more
左手边也有六七个
Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me
无论如何我都必须逃脱
I've got to make it to rose's back door
我必须去到酒馆的后门
Something is dreadfully wrong for
然而可怕的事情发生了
I feel a deep burning pain in my side
突然我感到一阵灼烧般的疼痛从身上传来
It's getting harder to stay in the saddle
我用尽全力才没摔下马背
I'm getting weary unable to ride
可渐渐地我精疲力尽了 摔下了马
But my love for Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen
但我对芙莲娜的爱 如此强烈 我又站了起来
Though I am weary I can't stop to rest
虽已精疲力尽但我不能放弃
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle
突然看见枪口一团白烟
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest
我感到有子弹深入我的胸膛
From out of nowhere Felina has found me
芙莲娜突然出现找到了我
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side
跪在我的身边 轻拥我入怀 吻着我的脸颊
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for
只为这一吻 我死亦无憾
One little kiss and Felina goodbye
永别了 我深爱的芙莲娜
