Folsom Prison Blues
I hear the train a coming
我听到火车开过来
it's rolling round the bend
就那样滚过了一个弯
And I ain't seen the sunshine
不记得什么时候起
since I don't know when
就再没见过阳光
I'm stuck at Folsom Prison
我被关在福尔松监狱
and time keeps draggin'on
这里的时间真煎熬
But that train keeps rolling
但是那火车
on down to San Antone
一直奔着圣安东尼奥而去
When I was just a baby
当我是个孩子的时候
my mama told me,"Son
妈妈就告诉我，儿子啊
Always be a good boy
要做个乖宝宝
don't ever play with guns."
千万不要乱耍枪
But I shot a man in Reno
但我在里诺开枪打人
just to watch him die
看着他死掉
When I hear that whistle blowing
当我听见警笛鸣叫的时候
I hang my head and cry
捂着头不争气地哭了
I bet there's rich folk eating
我打赌有钱的乡亲们
in a fancy dining car
在有趣的餐车里吃饭
They're prob'ly drinking coffee
他们很有可能喝着咖啡
and smokin'big cigars
抽着大大的雪茄
But I know I had it coming
好吧我知道面对的什么
I know I can't be free
我知道没有自由啦
But those people keep a moving
但是那些人还大吃大喝
and that's what tortures me
这是最折磨我的事情啦
Well,if they freed me from this prison
要是他们把我从监狱里放出来
if that railroad train was mine,
如果那条铁路和火车是我的
I bet I'd move on over
我打赌我要开得
a little farther down the line
比终点站远一点
Far from Folsom Prison
在离福尔松监狱很远
that's where I want to stay
我要停留的地方
And I'd let that lonesome whistle
拉响孤独的汽笛
blow my blues away.
吹散我的忧伤
