The Gun (Remastered 2020)歌词完整版
The Gun - Jim Reeves (吉姆·里夫斯)
This is the story of love that came undone
这是一段没有结果的爱情故事
This is the story of two men and a gun of two men and a gun
关于两个男人,两个男人的枪,和一支枪
A man that I'd never met stole my wife and son
一个我未曾谋面的男人偷走了我的妻儿
But that's been nearly three years now
但是这一切已经快过去三年了
And it's over with and done
这一切已经结束过去了
At first I'd stare out into space while hate consumed my soul
起初我还呆呆凝视远方,仇恨侵蚀了我的灵感
Hate was the creed by which I lived and revenge my only goal
仇恨是我活下去和复仇的信条
But the road to happiness isn't paved with hate
但是通往幸福的道路不是仇恨铺就的
I'm glad I learned how to forgive before it was too late
很开心在一切为时不晚时,我学会了原谅
Now here's the way the other man paid for what he'd done
现在这个男人为他的所作所为付出了代价
I heard it from the man's own lips who took my wife and son
我从那个抢走我妻儿的男人口中得知
I didn't really know this man but I'd seen him round
对此我一无所知,但是我看到这个男人在周围
He's a new guard at the factory where I work west of town
他是小镇西边一家工厂新来的守卫,我也在那里工作
This fellow swung into step with me and said I've got to talk
这个家伙摇摇晃晃走过来,开始说话
I listened spellbound at his words as we stood on the walk
我们一路走着,他的话让我茫然失措
You the guard said hoarsely are a kind man I surmise
这个守卫嘶哑地说,我猜你是个和蔼之人
As he stood there with his handkerchief wiping in his eyes
他站在那里,用手帕擦拭着眼泪
Three years ago I wronged a man I stole his wife and son
三年前,我伤害了一个男人,偷了他的妻儿
I didn't realize then the terrible thing that I had done
我根本没意识到我干下了多么可怕的事情
This thing gets hold of me at night and I can't sleep or rest
我一直耿耿于怀,夜间无法入眠
Forgive me sir but telling it seems to get it off my chest
先生,原谅我,说出来我胸口的大石头也落下了
When my past looms up like this it kinda helps me to unload
当过去隐隐呈现在我脑海时,他的话帮我卸下了负担
I'm one man sir who knows for sure that you reap just what you sow
先生,我很确切地明白,种瓜得瓜,种豆得豆
I sure appreciate your listening it helps me a lot
很感激你的聆听,这让我好过很多
You know to have that man's forgiveness I'd give everything I've got
你知道,为了得到他的原谅,我愿意付出一切
Well I feel much better now I I didn't get your name
我感觉好多了,我还不知道你的名字
More why that was my wife's name before we wed
我们还没结婚前,这是我妻子的名字
It's odd your name's the same
真奇怪,和你的名字一模一样
You know I'd kill a man who'd do to me the thing that I've done
你知道,我会杀了这样对我的人
And when the truth got through to him he handed me his gun
当他知道了真相,他把他的枪递给了我
As I gave the weapon back I said what's done is done
我把枪还回去,我说往事已矣
All I ask is just be kind to Jenny and my son
我只要求你对詹尼和我的孩子好
