The Old Timer - Chris Ledoux

The Old Timer - Chris Ledoux (克里斯-勒多克斯)

I saw the old timer as he stepped in the tavern
我看见老骑手走进了酒馆
His faded old Sterson had seen better years
牛仔帽因岁月而褪去了颜色
He limped to the bar and he sat down beside me
他蹒跚地走到吧台，在我身边坐下
Layed out his dollar and bought him a beer
掏出钱，为他自己买了一瓶啤酒
He siped from the bottle
他拿起瓶子喝了一口
And he told me the stories
对我讲述起他的故事
How he used to ride in days long ago
很久以前，他曾是个骑手
In his eyes I could see he was livin' old memories
看着他的眼睛，我知道他正在回忆
Ridin' the broncs at the old rodeos
竞技场中，马背上的辉煌岁月
And he dreams of the days that are now gone forever
他怀念着早已消逝的过去
The scars on his body is all he can show
只有身上的伤疤
For the life time he lived riding' wild horses
记录着他马背上的岁月
But he's just an old timer that nobody knows
但他不过是一个默默无闻的老骑手
Then he hung his grey head
他垂下头，头发花白
And the tears started flowin'
他的泪水开始流淌
He said son it was great
他说，孩子，那样的辉煌岁月
But it ended too soon
不过是昙花一现
No I'm just an old man with bothin' but memories
现在，我不过是个老人，只剩下回忆
Drinkin' my beer in this back street saloon
在这个街边小酒馆，喝点啤酒
Then he spoke of a woman and she was a beauty
他又谈起了一个女人，她是个美人
Her love was as true as the stars in the sky
她的爱，像天上的星星那样真
And oh how he wished he'd quit all his ramblin'
哦，他多么希望，他不再漂泊
Bought her a diamond and made her his wife
为她买一枚钻戒，娶她为妻
And he dreams of the days that are now gone forever
他怀念着早已消逝的过去
The scars on his body is all he can show
只有身上的伤疤
For the life time he lived riding' wild horses
记录着他马背上的岁月
But he's just an old timer that nobody knows
但他不过是一个默默无闻的老骑手
