Riding To New York - Passenger
Composed by：Michael Dav
Well I met him in Minnesota
我在明尼苏达州遇到了他
He was dark and overcast
他肤色黝黑 面容惆怅
With long grey hair and eyes that stared
灰蓬蓬的长发
Through me like I was glass
视我为无物
I asked "Where are you going to"
我问：“你要去哪里？
He said "I'm the wind I'm just blowing through"
我不过是经过的一阵风
He lit up a cigarette and began to talk
他点起一支烟 开始谈起
Said "The doctors told me that my body won't hold me
他说：“医生说 我没多少日子了
My lungs are turning black
我的肺已经污黑不堪
Been a Lucky Strike's fool
自读书起我就走上歧路
Since I was at school and there ain't no turning back
现已不能回头
They can't tell me how long I've got
他们也不知道我能撑多少天
Maybe months but maybe not
也许几个月 也可能撑不到
I'm taking this bike and riding to New York
我打算骑着自行车去纽约
Cause I wanna see my grand-daughter one last time
因为我想再见上我孙女最后一面
Wanna hold her close and feel her tiny heartbeat next to mine
我想抱住她 感受她的心跳
Wanna see my son and the man he's become
想看看我那已长大成人的儿子
Tell him I'm sorry for the things I've done
为我过去做的一切 对他说声抱歉
And I'd do it if I had to walk
哪怕要长途跋涉 我亦无怨无悔
I'm taking this bike and riding to New York
我打算骑着自行车去纽约
Through the forests of Wisconsin that I knew as a boy
穿过我儿时看过的那片威斯康星州的密林
Past the sky line of Chicago
沿着芝加哥的地平线
Round the lakes of Illinois
路经那伊利诺斯州的湖泊
I lay my head in a motel bed
在汽车旅馆里栖身
Where my back is sore and my eyes turn red
腰酸背痛 眼泛血丝
Listen to the trucks roll past my door
听着路过门前的卡车疾驰而去
Through the fields of Ohio as the sunshine paints them gold
横越俄亥俄州那片被暮光抹上金辉的土地
I run like a river runs rapid quick and cold
像是河流一般飞奔 急湍冷冽
And fly through Pennsylvania and the Jersey turnpike tolls
匆忙划过宾州和新泽西的关卡
And I won't stop till I get to New York
不到纽约 我绝不停下
Cause I wanna see my grand-son one last time
因为我想再见上我孙子最后一面
Wanna see his eyes sparkling and stare back into mine
想看看他那凝视我的闪亮明眸
Now my time is shorter
我的生命已在倒数
I wanna see my daughter
我要见见我的女儿
Tell her I'm sorry for the things I taught her
为我做过的坏榜样 对她说声抱歉
And I'd do it if I had to walk
哪怕要长途跋涉 我亦无怨无悔
Oh I'm taking this bike and riding to New York
我打算骑着自行车去纽约
And I'd go up to the churchyard one last time
我还要去一趟教堂后的墓地
Lay flowers down for the woman
为那个给了我生命最美好的时光的女人
Who gave me the best years of my life
献上一束花
And I'd do it if I had to walk
哪怕要长途跋涉 我亦无怨无悔
I'd do it if I had to walk
哪怕要长途跋涉 我亦无怨无悔
I'm taking this bike and riding to New York"
我打算骑着自行车去纽约"
