Carolina Moon

.
I woke up this morning to the hummin' of the engines
清晨伴隨著發動機的嗡嗡聲醒來
Haulin' nature's finest from the Gulf of Mexico
從墨西哥灣飄來了一股最自然的味道
Riding this ol' river is peaceful but it's lonesome
馳騁在這平靜卻又寂寥湖面上
And it makes me wonder how the old folks are at home
不禁感嘆人們為什麼不來感受這美妙的時刻
.
Now the years have blown by me like the wind through the pines
時光於我就像風吹過松木
But the song of the south is ever sweet as homemade wine
村曲於我就像家鄉釀的酒
Oh, how I miss those mountains when the laurels are in bloom
我會想念那漫山遍野月桂樹盛開的季節
And the southern stars are dancin' 'round a North Carolina moon
還有那圍繞著北卡羅萊納月亮舞動的星星
.
Just rolled through Memphis, I could hear them guitars playin'
經過孟菲斯的時候，還能聽見吉他的聲音
They had the blues so bad it almost broke my heart
他們如此憂傷卻顫動我心
But it don't sound nothing like a band of tree frogs singin'
樸實的聲音猶如樹蛙樂隊在歌唱
When every now and then they'd get in tune with grandpa's harp
時而跟爺爺彈奏豎琴的調一致
.
Now the years have blown by me like the wind through the pines
時光於我就像風吹過松木
But the song of the south is ever sweet as homemade wine
村曲於我就像家鄉釀的酒
Oh, how I miss those mountains when the laurels are in bloom
我會想念那漫山遍野月桂樹盛開的季節
And the southern stars are dancin' 'round a North Carolina moon
還有那圍繞著北卡羅萊納月亮舞動的星星
.
Now when I die boys, make me this promise
當我西去後，一定要答應我
You 'll send my body back up North Carolina way
把我的遺體葬在北卡羅萊納的道路後
I don't want no tombstone, just lay me next to mama
我不需要墓碑，只求依偎在媽媽身邊
And let the honeysuckle grow wild upon my grave
讓金銀花長滿在我下葬的地方
.
Now the years haveblown by me like the wind through the pines
時光於我就像風吹過松木
But the song of the south is ever sweet as homemade wine
村曲於我就像家鄉釀的酒
Oh, how I miss those mountains when the laurels are in bloom
我會想念那漫山遍野月桂樹盛開的季節
And the southern stars are dancin' 'round a North Carolina moon
還有那圍繞著北卡羅萊納月亮舞動的星星
Yeah, the southern stars are dancin' 'round a North Carolina moon
還有那圍繞著北卡羅萊納月亮舞動的星星
North Carolina moon
那北卡羅萊納的月亮
.
Oh, how I miss those mountains when the laurels are in bloom
我會想念那漫山遍野月桂樹盛開的季節
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
