Big River - Jimmy Nail

Big River - Jimmy Nail
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Walking on cobble stone little bits of skin and bone
走在鹅卵石上，皮肤和骨头的小碎片
Jumping on the tram car for a ride
跳上有轨电车，开始一段旅程
I can remember then I was just a boy of ten
我记得那时，我只是个十岁的男孩
Hanging out along the old quayside
在老码头边闲逛
Not all the capstans and the cargo boats
并非所有的绞盘和货船
And stevadores are gone
以及码头工人都已消失
To where all the old ships go
它们都去了那些老船去的地方
But memories just like the seas live on
但记忆如同海洋般永存
That was when coal was king
那是煤炭称王的年代
The river was a living thing
河流曾是鲜活的生命
And I was just a boy but it was mine
而我虽只是个男孩，却视它为我的所有
The coaly tyne
那煤黑的泰恩河
For this was a big river
因为这是一条伟大的河流
I want you all to know that I was proud
我想让你们都知道，我曾为此自豪
This was a big river but that was long ago
这是一条伟大的河流，但那已是久远的过去
Thats not now thats not now
那已不是现在 那已不是现在
My father was a working man
我的父亲是个勤劳的人
He earned our living with his hands
他用双手养活我们
He had to cross the river every day
他每天都要渡过那条河
He picked up a union card out of the neptune yard
他从海王星码头拿到了工会证
Mouths to feed and the bills to pay
要养家糊口 还要支付账单
Then came a time for him to sail across the sea
后来他不得不远航出海
And far away
去往远方
Finally when the war was won
最终战争胜利时
You brought him home and home he stayed
你带他回家，他从此安息
And when his days were done under a golden sun
当他的日子在金色阳光下结束
You carried him to where he longed to be
你带他去了他渴望的地方
Back to the sea
回到大海
For this was a big river
因为这是一条伟大的河流
I want you all to know that I was proud
我想让你们都知道，我曾为此自豪
This was a big river but that was long ago
这是一条伟大的河流，但那已是久远的过去
Thats not now
如今已不复存在
Thats not now
如今已不复存在
Thats not now
如今已不复存在
The neptune was the last to go
海神号是最后一艘离去的船
I heard it on my radio
我在收音机里听到了这个消息
And then they played the latest number one
然后他们播放了最新的冠军单曲
But what do they do all day
但他们整日都在做些什么呢
And what are they supposed to say
他们该说些什么呢
What does a father tell his son
父亲该如何告诉他的儿子
If you believed that theres a bond between our future
如果你相信我们的未来
And our past
与过去之间有着纽带
Then try to hold on to what we had
那就努力守住我们曾经拥有的
We build them strong we built to last
我们建造得坚固，我们建造得持久
Cause this is a mighty town
因为这是一座强大的城市
Its built upon solid ground
它建立在坚实的地基之上
And everything they tried so hard to kill
他们竭力想要摧毁的一切
We will rebuild

For this was a big river
因为这是一条伟大的河流
I want you all to know that I was proud
我想让你们都知道，我曾为此自豪
This was a big river but that was long ago

Thats not now
如今已不复存在
This is a big river

And in my heart I know it will rise again
在我心中 我坚信它会再次崛起
The river will rise again
河流将再次崛起
