Artist：kenny rogers

Songs Title：coward of the county

Ev＇ryone considered him the coward of the county

每个人都说他是个懦夫

He never stood one single time to prove the county wrong

他从没站出来告诉人们他们错了

His mama named him Tommy but folks just called him yellow

他妈妈叫他托尼 别人都叫他黄种人

But something always told me they were reading Tommy wrong

但我总感觉人们看错他了

He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison

他父亲死在狱中时他只有十岁

Well I looked after Tommy ＇cause he was my brother＇s son

于是身为叔叔的我开始照顾他

And I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy:

我仍记得兄弟临终前对他说的话

＂Son my life is over but yours is just begun ＂

儿子 我的生命结束了 你的才刚刚开始

＂Promise me son not to do the things I＇ve done

答应我 别像我一样犯错

Walk away from trouble if you can

别自找麻烦

Now it don＇t mean you＇re weak if you turn the other cheek

现在你低头并不代表你懦弱

I hope you＇re old enough to understand:

我希望你能明白

Son you don＇t have to fight to be a man ＂

儿子 你不必刻意证明你是个男人

There＇s someone for ev＇ryone Tommy＇s love was Becky

每个人都有自己的另一半 托尼的女友是贝基

In her arms he didn＇t have to prove he was a man

在她怀里 他不必证明自己是个男人

One day while he was workin＇ the Gatlin boys came callin＇

有一天当她在工作 加特林家的男孩叫他

They took turns at Becky there was three of them

他们三个人在欺负贝基

Tommy opened up the door and saw his Becky cryin＇

托尼推开门 看见贝基在哭

The torn dress the shattered look was more than he could stand

裙子撕碎在地 他忍无可忍

He reached above the fireplace took down his daddy＇s picture

他冲到壁炉前取下父亲的遗照

As the tears fell on his daddy＇s face he heard these words again

眼泪流到遗照上 他又听到父亲在说

＂Promise me son not to do the things I＇ve done

答应我 别像我一样犯错

Walk away from trouble if you can

别自找麻烦

Now it don＇t mean you＇re weak if you turn the other cheek

现在你低头并不代表你懦弱

I hope you＇re old enough to understand:

我希望你能明白

Son you don＇t have to fight to be a man ＂

儿子 你不必刻意证明你是个男人

The Gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the barroom

当他迈进酒吧 加特林家的孩子嘲笑他

One of them got up and met him halfway ＇cross the floor

其中一个站起来将他堵在过道

Then Tommy turned around they said Hey look ol＇ yellow＇s leavin＇ ＂

托尼转身离开 他们高呼黄种人走了

But you coulda heard a pin drop when Tommy stopped and locked the door

托尼止步并关上了门 酒吧里鸦雀无声

Twenty years of crawlin＇ was bottled up inside him

二十多年的辱骂将他逼到极限

He wasn＇t holdin＇ nothin＇ back; he let ＇em have it all

他毫不留情 将愤怒悉数返还

When Tommy left the barroom not a Gatlin boy was standin＇

当他离开酒吧 他们都被打倒在地

He said ＂This one＇s for Becky ＂ as he watched the last one fall

当最后一人倒下时 他说这是为贝基报仇

And I heard him say:

我听到他说

＂I promised you Dad not to do the things you＇ve done

我答应过你不像你一样犯错

I＇ll walk away from trouble if I can

我也不会自找麻烦

Now please don＇t think I＇m weak I couldn＇t turn the other cheek

求你别认为我很懦弱 我无法忍受

And papa I sure hope you understand:

爸爸 我相信你明白

Sometimes you gotta fight when you＇re a man ＂

有时作为一个男人 你得为自己而战

Ev＇ryone considered him the coward of the county

每个人都曾以为他是个懦夫
