The Caretaker - Johnny Cash

The Caretaker - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

I live in the cemetery ol' caretaker they call me
我住在墓地 他们叫我守墓人
In the wintertime I rake the leaves and in the summer I cut the weeds
夏天除草 冬日清扫落叶
When a funeral comes the people cry and pray
人们在葬礼上哭泣祈祷
They bury their dead and they all go away
埋葬过后墓前清冷
But through their grief I still can see their hate and greed and jealousy
但是透过悲伤仍可看到他们的贪婪，嫉妒与恨
So here I work and I somehow hide from a world that rushes by outside
所以这里是我的世外桃源
And each night when I rest my head I'm contented as the peaceful death
每晚睡下宁静地迎接死亡
But who's gonna cry when old John dies who's gonna cry when old John dies
但是老约翰死后谁人为之哭泣
Once I was a young man dashing with the girls
我也曾风流倜傥
Now no one wants an old man I lost my handsome curls
容颜不再，老人被遗弃
But I wanna say when my time comes lay me facing the rising sun
但是我会说在面朝太阳时
Put me in the corner where where I buried my pup
请给我一隅之地
Tell the preacher to pray then cover me up
告知牧师掩藏我身
Don't lay flowers where my head should be maybe God let some grow for me
不需花束 也许上帝会让之为我绽放
And all the little children that I love like my own
我所有亲爱的孩子们
Will they be sorry that old John's gone
他们是否会为老约翰的离去悲伤
Who's gonna cry when old John dies who's gonna cry when old John dies
老约翰死后谁人为之哭泣
