It was my first night in that rooming house
那是我在公寓的第一晚
In the last room down the hall
在走廊尽头的最后一个房间里
I heard a hoarse voice and an old guitar
我听到沙哑的声音和一把破旧的吉他
Coming through the paper thin walls
透过薄薄的高墙
A crazy nonsense nursery rhyme
一首疯狂的胡言乱语儿歌
That did not mean a thing
这毫无意义
But for the first of what was to be a thousand times
但是对于第一次的那一千次
This is what I hear him sing
这是我听到他唱的歌
Hold that D chord on the old guitar
用那把旧吉他弹奏D和弦
＇Til I found the G
直到我找到真正的大佬
Drop it down to old E minor
降到E小调
＇Til the A chord rolls back home around to D
直到A和弦回到D和弦
I had to lay there listening
我不得不躺在那里静静聆听
It seemed he was in the room
看起来他就在房间里
This stranger with his melody
这陌生人的旋律
Singing there in the gloom
在黑暗中歌唱
And he repeated it over and over again
他一遍又一遍地重复
Such a soft and sinkin＇ sound
如此轻柔低沉的声音
It was kind of like a music box that was slowly winding down
就像一个音乐盒慢慢地降下来
You see he sang it he hummed it
你看他唱过他哼过
Whistled it and he strummed it
吹着口哨他随意弹奏
He laughed it and he cried it
他笑着哭着
He did everything but hide it
他什么都做只是不愿掩饰
And he sang
他歌唱着
Hold that D chord on the old guitar
用那把旧吉他弹奏D和弦
＇Til I found the G
直到我找到真正的大佬
Drop it down to old E minor
降到E小调
＇Til the A chord rolls back home around for me
直到A和弦回到我身边
So I lay there in that lumpy bed
于是我躺在凹凸不平的床上
Countin＇ choruses instead of sheep
数着合唱而不是绵羊
＇Til I banged on the wall and out I called
直到我撞坏了墙壁我大声呼喊
＂Hey bub I need some sleep ＂
嘿哥们我需要睡一觉
The sudden void of silence then I heard that hoarse voice say
突然一片寂静我听到沙哑的声音说
＂It weren＇t so long ago boy they paid me to play ＂
不久以前小子他们花钱请我玩游戏
I said ＂It＇s kind of late for music sir
我说：＂现在玩音乐有点晚了，先生
Two hours til it＇s daylight＂
再过两个小时就天亮了
He answered ＂I need my music most
他回答说＂我最需要我的音乐
In these dark hours of the night
在这漆黑的夜晚
You see I＇ve tried gettin＇ high on something son
你瞧我试着让自己嗨起来孩子
But it only brings me down
可这只会让我心灰意冷
Staying dry don＇t work out better boy
保持清醒别出更好的主意男孩
＇Cause my eyes get wet and I drown
Won＇t you please let me continue
你能否让我继续
And I＇ll be in your debt
我会感激你的
You see I＇m not singing to remember son
你看我不是在歌唱怀念孩子
I＇m just singing to forget＂
我歌唱只是为了忘记

That＇s when I said

＂If I＇m supposed to listen to you sir

Just one quick question then
问你一个问题
Why in the hell do you sing one song
为何你只唱一首歌
Over and over again ＂
一次又一次
And this is what he said

He said ＂I gave her the music son
他说＂孩子我把音乐给了她
She gave me the words

Together we＇d write the kind of songs
只要我们在一起我们就能写出这样的歌
The angels must have heard

Of course we＇d fight like cats and dogs
当然我们会像猫狗一样争吵不休
But life ain＇t no rosebud dream
但人生不是美丽的梦
Still whatever we＇d do everybody knew
无论我们做什么每个人都知道
We truly were a team
我们曾经是一个团队
I can＇t remember now if I done her wrong
我记不清我是否辜负了她
Or if she done wrong to me
还是她伤害了我
But all I know that when I let her go
但我只知道当我放开她的手
That it did not set me free＇＇

That＇s when I said ＂You sound like what＇s-his-name＂
这时我说：“你的声音听起来就像那个叫什么名字的人”
He said ＂That＇s who I am

But you can＇t wrap a name around you boy

＇Cause it really don＇t mean a damn

When it dan＇t have nothing to say

What she could do was magic son
孩子她能做的就是魔法
All I could do was play＂
我所能做的就是玩弄
He started singing again
他又开始歌唱
That＇s when I drifted off
那时我飘飘欲仙
Maybe I dreamed what I heard
也许我梦见了我听到的声音
Who＇d gone and lost the words
谁已经离去失去了言语
Hold that D chord on the old guitar
用那把旧吉他弹奏D和弦
＇Til I found the G
直到我找到真正的大佬
Drop it down to old E minor
