The Once And Future Carpenter

The Once And Future Carpenter -The Avett Brothers
I ain't from Texas
我的家乡不是德克萨斯
But I made my way from Dallas
但我正在去达拉斯的路上
And I know the lonesome sound is following
我知道自己寂寞的歌声一路陪伴
And I ain't a gambler
我不是个赌徒
But I can recognize a hand
但我知道什么时候
And when to hold
去牵住那只手
When queens are staring back at me
每当漂亮的姑娘们盯着我看
Once I was a carpenter
我曾经是个木匠
And man my hands were calloused
我的手生满老茧
I could swing a metal mallet sure and straight
熟练精确地使用我的小铁槌
But I took to the highway
但我却将一首年轻又饥渴的诗
A poet young and hungry
带上了公路
<-5,1374,0>left the timbers where they lay
我留下了木材 让它们原地腐烂
Forever I will move like the world
我将一直勇往直前
That turns beneath me
正如这世界一直在我身后转动
And when I lose my direction
而当我迷失方向
I'll look up to the sky
我会抬头看看这天空
And when the black cloak drags upon the ground
黑色的斗篷在地上拖曳时
I'll be ready to surrender and remember
我准备好被她折服 把她记住
Well we're all in this together
我们会长相厮守
If I live the life I'm given
若我过上这种日子
I wont be scared to die
我便死而无憾
And I don't come from Detroit
我不从底特律来
But her diesel motors pull me
但是那儿的柴油机车吸引着我
And I followed till I finally lost my way
我一路跟随 却迷了路
And now I spend my days in search of a woman
我花时间寻找一个她
I called purpose
我称她为我的最终目的
And if I ever pass back through her town
如果我曾经过她的城镇
I'll stay
我会留下来
Forever I will move like the world
我将一直勇往直前
That turns beneath me
正如这世界一直在我身后转动
And when I lose my direction
而当我迷失方向
I'll look up to the sky
我会抬头看看这天空
And when the black dress drags upon the ground
当黑色的长裙在地上拖曳时
I'll be ready to surrender and remember
我准备好被她折服 将她记住
Well we're all in this together
我们会长相厮守
If I live the life I'm given
若我过上这种日子
I won't be scared to die
我便无惧死亡
And my life is but a coin
我的人生就像一个
It'spulled from an empty pocket
从空口袋里滑出来的硬币
Dropped into a slot
紧接着掉进了一个沟
With dreams of sevens close behind
却梦想着能够走运
And these hopes and these fears go with it
带着所有的希望和胆怯
And moon and the sun go spinning
日月不断交替
Like the numbers and fruits before our eyes
像我们眼前不断变化的水果彩票数字
Sometimes I hit sometimes it robs me blind
时而让我中奖 时而将我洗劫一空
Sometimes I hit sometimes it robs me blind
时而让我中奖 时而将我洗劫一空
Forever I will move like the world
我将一直勇往直前
That turns beneath me
正如这世界一直在我身后转动
And when I lose my direction
而当我迷失方向
I'll look up to the sky
我会抬头看看这天空
And when the black cloak drags upon the ground
当她黑色的斗篷在地上拖曳
I'll be ready to surrender and remember
我准备好被她折服 把她记住
Well we're all in this together
我们会长相厮守
If I live the life I'm given
若我过上这样的日子
I won't be scared to die
我将无惧死亡
