《Best for the Best》歌词

[00:00:00] Best for the Best - Josh Ritter

[00:00:29] //

[00:00:29] Once I knew a girl in the hard hard times

[00:00:34] 在我最艰难的时候 我认识一个女孩

[00:00:34] She made me a shirt out of fives and dimes

[00:00:39] 她为我做了一件衬衫 并不求回报

[00:00:39] Now she＇s gone but when I wear it she crosses my mind

[00:00:43] 现在 她已经离开了 可我每次穿上这件T恤 就会想起她

[00:00:43] And if the best is for the best then the best is unkind

[00:00:50] 如果最好的事物只属于最好的人 那么最好就是无情的

[00:00:50] I realized that Illinois was more than I could stand

[00:00:57] 我发现伊利诺伊州让我难以忍受

[00:00:57] They say working＇s best cause poverty is hell on a man

[00:01:01] 他们认为工作至上 因为贫穷使人卑微

[00:01:01] Now I ride a lazy river through the Mississippi fan

[00:01:08] 如今我正在密西西比河河畔徜徉

[00:01:08] And if the best is for the best then the best can be damned

[00:01:25] 如果最好的事物只属于最好的人 那么最好就是无情的

[00:01:25] I spent a few years on the Queen of Spain

[00:01:29] 曾有几年时间我热衷于欣赏美丽的蝴蝶

[00:01:29] She was a leaky little boat that went up in flames

[00:01:35] 在篝火燃起的时候 它在破旧的小船上起舞

[00:01:35] When the boiler blew some people started naming names

[00:01:41] 当篝火上的水在烧滚时 有人开始给它命名

[00:01:41] But if the best is for the best

[00:01:44] 如果最好的事物只属于最好的人

[00:01:44] I guess the best is to blame

[00:01:46] 那它们也会受到责备

[00:01:46] I spent a few more as the Cairo Crown

[00:01:52] 曾有几年时间我过着奢华的生活

[00:01:52] A heavyweight wrestler in the Midwest towns

[00:02:00] 强壮的摔跤手在闹市中喧嚣

[00:02:00] But I was lonesome for a girl who could pin me down

[00:02:04] 而我却寂寞地想着那个能使我作出承诺的女孩

[00:02:04] They say the best is for the best but that＇s not what I＇ve found

[00:02:32] 人们说最好的事物只属于最好的人 只是我寻觅不到

[00:02:32] Now I listen to my sweetheart and I listen to my thirst

[00:02:50] 现在 我听从爱人的话语 倾听自己内心的渴望

[00:02:50] I don＇t spend time listening to other people＇s words

[00:02:58] 不再为旁人的闲言蜚语所影响

[00:02:58] Sometimes they＇re right most times the reverse

[00:03:04] 有时候他们是对的 但大多数时候 他们是错的

[00:03:04] They say the best is for the best when the best＇s for the worse

[00:03:09] 他们说最好的事物只属于最好的人 那么最好也可能变成最坏的

[00:03:09] Once I knew a girl in the hard hard times

[00:03:13] 在我最艰难的时候 我认识一个女孩

[00:03:13] She made me a shirt out of fives and dimes

[00:03:20] 她为我做了一件衬衫 并不求回报

[00:03:20] Now she＇s gone but when I wear it she crosses my mind

[00:03:26] 现在 她已经离开了 可我每次穿上这件T恤 就会想起她

[00:03:26] And if the best is for the best then the best is unkind

[00:03:31] 如果最好的事物只属于最好的人 那么最好就是无情的
