Gentle On My Mind

It's knowin' that your door is always open
知道你的門總是打開的
And your path is free to walk
你門前的小徑是可以自由出入的
That makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag
這些讓我想要離開我的睡袋
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
將它捲起來扔到你的沙發後面
And it's knowin' I' m not shackled
我是不會被束縛住的
By forgotten words and bonds
被過去那些話語和羈絆
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line
那些床單上的墨漬
That keeps you in the back roads
讓你成為過去的路
By the rivers of my memory
在我的記憶長河裡
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind
永遠溫柔
It's not clingin' to the rocks and ivy
沒有爬牆卻
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind
繞在了柱樁上的常春藤已落在我身後
Or something that somebody said
還有那些別人說過的話
because They thought we fit together walkin'
他們以為我們適合一起行走
It's just knowing that the world
只是明白了這個世界
Will not be cursing or forgiving
不存在詛咒和寬恕
When I walk along some railroad track and find
當我走在鐵道上，發現
That you're movin' on the back roads
你卻是是過去的路
By the rivers of my memory
延著我記憶長河行走
Planted on their columns now that bind me
有那麼幾個小時，你溫柔於我心
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
儘管麥田，晾衣繩
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
廢品站，高速公路都擠到了我們中間
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother
還有一些女人向母親的哭訴
'cause she turned and I was gone
那是因為她們回頭了，而我，已經離開
I still might run in silence
我或許還會沉默奔跑
Tears of joy might stain my face
快樂的眼淚為面龐著色
But not to where I cannot see You
夏日的陽光會在我快要失明時燃燒我
walkin' on the back roads
但是現在我看不清
By the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind
你已是那過去的路
by dip my cupof soup back from a gurglin' cracklin' cauldron
卻一直在我的心河上溫柔流淌
And the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind
從噗呲作響的高壓鍋裡盛了碗湯
In some train yard
在鐵道旁
My beard a rustlin' coal pile
我的鬍子像堆煤渣
And a dirty hat pulled low across my face
臟帽子蓋過我的臉
Through cupped hands 'round a tin can
手裡握著罐飲料
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
我假裝把你摟在心上，發現
That you're waitin' from the back roads
你還在身後的路上等待
By the rivers of my memory
在我記憶的長河裡
Ever smilin', ever gentle on my mind
永遠微笑，永遠溫柔
