Mother, the Queen of My Heart - Jimmie Rodgers (吉米·罗杰斯)
I had a home out in Texas
我在德州有个家
Down where the blue bonnet's grew
那里蓝帽花遍地生长
I had the kindest old mother;
我有那最慈祥的老母亲
How happy we were just we two
我俩在一起多么幸福欢乐
Till one day the angels' called her
直到有一天 天使呼唤她
That debt we all have to pay
那是我们都必须偿还的债
She called me close to her bedside
她把我叫到她的床边
These last few words to say
说了最后几句话
"Son don't start drinking and gambling
儿子 千万别醺酒和赌博
Promise you'll always go straight "
保证你会一直做个正直的人
Ten years have passed since that parting
那次分别之后 已经有十年了
That promise I've broke I must say
我必须要说我没有遵守承诺
I started gambling for pastime
为了消遣时光 我开始赌博
At last I was just like them all
最终我和他们都变成了一样的人
I bet my clothes and my money
我赌上了我的衣服和钱
Not dreaming that I'd ever fall
没想过我会失败落魄
One night I bet all my money
一天晚上 我赌上了我所有的钱
Nothing was left to be seen
什么也不剩了
And all that I needed to break them
我要打败他们
Was one card and that was a queen
只需要一张牌 一张皇后牌
The cards were dealt all 'round the table
围着桌子发牌
Each man took a card on the draw
每个人手里都有一张牌
I drew the one that would beat them;
我想我的拍一定能打败他们
I turned it and here's what I saw
我把牌翻过来一看
I saw my mother's picture
看见了妈妈的照片
And somehow she seemed to say
她似乎在说
"Son you have broken your promise "
儿子 你没有遵守你的诺言
So I tossed the cards away
所以我把牌扔了
My winnings I gave to a newsboy
我把我的奖金给了一个报童
I knew I was wrong from the start
我知道从一开始我就错了
And I'll never forget that promise
我永远不会忘记那个承诺
To my mother the queen of my heart
致我的母亲 我心中的皇后
