[00:00:06] //

[00:00:06] Voice: It was winter time in Nashville down on music city row

[00:00:52] 这是纳什维尔的冬天 沿着这音乐之乡漫步

[00:00:52] And I was looking for a place to get myself out of the cold to warm

[00:00:57] The frozen feeling that was eating at my soul and keep the chilly

[00:01:04] 严寒不断侵袭着我的灵魂 我浑身发抖

[00:01:04] Wind off my guitar; my thirsty wanted whiskey my hungry needed

[00:01:10] 风拂过我的吉他 我口渴了想喝威士忌 我饿了

[00:01:10] Beans; but it'd been a month of pay days since I'd heard that eagle

[00:01:17] 想吃黄豆 但是离发薪日已一个月了 自我听到鹰的呼啸算起

[00:01:17] Scream; so with a stomach full of empty and pocket full of dreams

[00:01:23] 满肚子的空虚 满口袋的梦想

[00:01:23] I left my pride and stepped inside a bar actually I guess you'd

[00:01:28] 我丢开我的自尊 我走进一个酒吧

[00:01:28] Call it a tavern Cigarette smoke to the ceiling and sawdust on the

[00:01:33] 我猜你会叫酒馆 烟尘弥漫到了天花板 木屑洒落

[00:01:33] Floor

[00:01:36] 在地上

[00:01:36] Friendly shadows I saw that there was just one old man sitting

[00:01:45] 亲切的影子 我看见一个老人

[00:01:45] At the bar; and in the mirror I could see him checking me with my

[00:01:50] 坐在酒吧里 通过镜子 我可以看见 他正打量着我的

[00:01:50] Guitar; he turned and said "come up here boy and show us what you

[00:01:56] 吉他 他转过身说 过来吧 小伙子 给我们看看你有什么

[00:01:56] Are" I said "I'm dry" and he bought me a beer He nodded at my

[00:02:03] 我说 我快干死了 他为我买了一瓶啤酒 他打量着我的吉他

[00:02:03] Guitar and said "It's a tough life ain't it " I just looked at him

[00:02:09] 说 生活很艰辛吧 我只是看着他

[00:02:09] And he said "You ain't making any money are you " I said "You've

[00:02:14] 他说 你没赚多少钱 是吧 我说

[00:02:14] Been reading my mail" He just smiled and said "Let me see that

[00:02:17] 你已经知道我的情况 他只是笑笑 说 让我看看那把吉他

[00:02:17] Guitar: I got something you ought to hear" Then he laid

[00:02:21] 我知道一些你该听听的事

[00:02:21] It on me

[00:02:22] 然后他对我说

[00:02:22] If you waste your time a-talking to the people who don't listen

[00:02:28] 如果你浪费你的时间 跟那些根本不听你说的人谈论

[00:02:28] To the things that you are saying who do you think's going to hear

[00:02:34] 你认为谁会听呢

[00:02:34] And if you should die explaining how the things that they complain about

[00:02:39] 如果你要死去 解释着他们抱怨的一切都是怎么回事

[00:02:39] Are things they could be changing who d'you think's goin' to care

[00:02:45] 一切都会变 你认为谁会在乎

[00:02:45] There were other lonely singers in a world turned deaf and blind who

[00:02:51] 世界上也有其他又聋又瞎的孤独歌手

[00:02:51] Were crucified for what they tried to show

[00:02:55] 因为一些他们努力展示的东西而被钉在十字架上

[00:02:55] And their voices have been scattered by the swirling winds of time

[00:03:00] 他们的声音已随着时间慢慢消散

[00:03:00] 'Cause the truth remains that no-one wants to know

[00:03:08] 因为留下了没人想知道的事实

[00:03:08] Voice: Well the old man was a stranger but I'd heard his song before;

[00:03:13] 这个老人是个陌生人 但是我曾听过他的歌

[00:03:13] Back when failure had me locked out on the wrong side of the door; when

[00:03:19] 失败曾把我带入歧途

[00:03:19] No-one stood behind me but my shadow on the floor and lonesome was more

[00:03:24] 没人在我身后支持我 只有那寂寞的影子陪伴

[00:03:24] Than a state of mind You see the devil haunts a hungry man; if you

[00:03:33] 寂寞不仅仅是一种心态 魔鬼也在寻找着内心饥渴的人

[00:03:33] Don't want to join him you've got to beat him I ain't sayin' I beat the

[00:03:40] 如果你不想像他 那就必须打败他 我不是说我要打败魔鬼

[00:03:40] Devil but I drank his beer for nothing and then I stole his song

[00:03:51] 但是 我喝了他的啤酒 然后偷了他的歌曲

[00:03:51] And you still can hear me singing to the people who don't listen

[00:03:56] 你仍然能听到我在唱歌给那些不愿听的人

[00:03:56] To the things that I am saying praying someone's going to hear;

[00:04:02] 祈祷有人会真正用心听

[00:04:02] And I guess I'll die explaining how the things that they complain about

[00:04:07] 我想我会死去 我会解释他们所抱怨的一切是怎么回事

[00:04:07] Are things they could be changing hoping someone's goin' to care

[00:04:12] 一切都会变 我希望有人会在乎

[00:04:12] I was born a lonely singer and I'm bound to die the same

[00:04:16] 我生来就是一个孤独的歌手 我也会孤独地死去

[00:04:16] But I've got to feed the hunger in my soul;

[00:04:23] 但是 我不会让我的灵魂挨饿

[00:04:23] And if I never have a nickel I won't ever die of shame

[00:04:27] 如果我身无分文 我不会羞愧

[00:04:27] 'Cause I don't believe that no-one wants to know

[00:04:32] 因为 我相信根本没人关心这个
