I rode into Tucson three hours ago
三小时前我开车来到图森市
For supplies and a short friendly game
为了补给和一场短暂的友谊游戏
Of poker while smitty put some new shoes
一边打牌一边Smitty穿上新鞋
On old dan before he goes lame
在老丹倒下之前好好教训他一顿
I sat in a game at the Miner's Saloon soon I had doubled my stake
我在Miner'sSalon参加了一场游戏很快我的赌注翻了一番
The cards run like they'd been dealt by Lady Luck
这张牌就像是运气女神发的
They were just sealing my fate
他们注定了我的命运
A young cowboy lost more than he could afford
一个年轻的牛仔失去了他无法承受的一切
And accused me of dealing too smart
指责我耍小聪明
His draw was too slow and he fell to the floor
他的画太慢了他摔倒在地
With three bullets close to the heart
三颗子弹打中心脏
Oh cottonwood tree are you waiting for me waiting to take me away
白杨树你是否在等我带我远走高飞
I've done no wrong but the town cannot see
我没有做错任何事可这座城市视而不见
And so with my life I must pay
所以我必须付出生命
A crowd started gathering the sheriff came in
人群开始聚集警长走了进来
I handed him over my gun
我把我的枪交给他
Was then when I found out the boy I had killed
是在我发现我杀害的那个男孩时
Was the town's biggest man's only son
是镇上大人物唯一的儿子
I tried to explain I had shot in defense it was the young cowboy or me
我解释说我开枪是为了自卫是那个年轻的牛仔还是我
The crowd wouldn't listen so they drug me out
人们充耳不闻所以他们对我下了药
To the limb of this cottonwood tree
来到这棵白杨树的枝干上
Majestically standing out here all alone
独自一人昂然伫立
It's spring and the valley is green
春天到了山谷一片葱绿
But I can't admire a place I don't belong
但我无法仰慕我不属于的地方
To me it's all like a bad dream
对我来说这一切就像一场噩梦
But old Dan's beneath me with new shows and all
但老丹的新歌让我望尘莫及
As they place the noose round my neck
当他们把套索套在我的脖子上
Cowboys I've never laid eyes on before are tying my hands to my back
我从未见过的牛仔把我的双手绑在背上
Oh cottonwood tree are you waiting for me waiting to take me away
白杨树你是否在等我带我远走高飞
I've done no wrong but the town cannot see
我没有做错任何事可这座城市视而不见
And so with my life I must pay
所以我必须付出生命
I see hate in the eyes of the town's biggest man
我看见镇上大人物眼中充满仇恨
As he pulls a branch from the tree
他从树上摘下一根树枝
To whip the backside of my old pony Dan
开着我的小马丹尽情驰骋
So he'll run out from under me
他会从我身边逃走
Insane he won't listen to my last appeal
失去理智他不听我最后的请求
A wild grin has covered his face
他脸上露出狂笑
As I tried to reason just how he would feel
我试着思考他的感受
If he were up here in my place
如果他站在我的位置上
There's many a mountain trail I'll never ride green valleys I'll never see
有许多山间小道我永远不会穿过我永远看不见的绿色山谷
A young cowboy died and a man's foolish pride
一个年轻的牛仔死去一个男人愚蠢的自尊
Brought me to this cottonwood tree
带我来到这棵白杨树下
My face is turned upward and I cannot breathe
我仰着脸我无法呼吸
The sky's growing dark overhead
头顶的天空愈发黑暗
The knot's pulling tight as my body swepts free
当我大汗淋漓的时候我的心紧紧地拉着
A few moments more I'll be dead
再过片刻我就会死去
Oh cottonwood tree are you putting for me putting to take me away
白杨树你是为我而生还是带我走
I've done no wrong but the town cannot see
我没有做错任何事可这座城市视而不见
And so with my life I must pay
所以我必须付出生命
