歌手 Kenny Rogers Coward of The County

Artist:kenny rogers
Songs Title:coward of the county

以前郡里的每个人都觉得他是个懦夫
Ev'ryone considered him the coward of the county.
但他从没出来证明过自己
He never stood one single time to prove the county wrong.
她母亲给他起名叫汤米,但人们一般叫他阿黄
His mama named him Tommy, but folks just called him yellow,
但我总有一种感觉他们看错汤米了
But something always told me they were reading Tommy wrong.
他十岁的时候父亲就在监狱去世了
He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison.
嗯...我照顾汤米是因为他是我弟弟的儿子
Well, I looked after Tommy 'cause he was my brother's son.
到现在我还能想起我弟弟对汤米说的最后几句话:
And I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy:
“孩子,我的人生已经结束了,但你的人生才刚刚开始”
"Son, my life is over, but yours is just begun."
“答应我,儿子,不要犯我犯过的错”
"Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done.
尽量远离那些麻烦事吧
Walk away from trouble if you can.
回避这些事并不代表你软弱
Now, it don't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek.
我希望你已经长大了可以理解我的话了
I hope you're old enough to understand:
儿子啊,你不必通过打架来证明自己是个男人
Son, you don't have to fight to be a man."
每个人都有自己心爱的人,而汤米的恋人叫贝吉
There's someone for ev'ryone, Tommy's love was Becky.
在她的身旁他不必证明自己是个真男人
In her arms he didn't have to prove he was a man.
有一天他工作的时候,一群痞子走了过来
One day while he was workin' the Gatlin boys came callin'.
他们轮奸了贝吉,他们有三个人呢!
They took turns at Becky, there was three of them!
汤米打开了门看见贝吉正在哭
Tommy opened up the door and saw his Becky cryin'.
撕破的裙子,憔悴的脸让他不忍直视
The torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could stand.
他回到家,拿起了壁炉上的父亲的照片
He reached above the fireplace, took down his daddy's picture.
汤米的眼泪掉了下来,他又听见了这些话
As the tears fell on his daddy's face, he heard these words again.
“答应我,儿子,不要犯我犯过的错”
"Promise me son, not to do the things I've done.
尽量远离那些麻烦事吧
Walk away from trouble if you can.
回避这些事并不代表你软弱
Now, it don't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek.
我希望你已经长大了可以理解我的话了
I hope you're old enough to understand:
儿子啊,你不必通过打架来证明自己是个男人

汤米走进了酒吧,痞子们却讥笑了起来
Son, you don't have to fight to be a man."
其中一个人站了起来挡在了汤米身前
The Gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the barroom.
汤米准备转身走开,他们喊着“看啊!阿黄想要逃跑了!”
One of them got up and met him halfway 'cross the floor.
汤米突然停在了门口并反锁了门,空气很安静,一根针掉下的声音都能听见
Then Tommy turned around they said, Hey look ol' yellow's leavin'."
20年的屈辱在他心中逐渐点燃
But you coulda heard a pin drop when Tommy stopped and locked the door.
并毫无保留的发泄了出来
Twenty years of crawlin' was bottled up inside him.
汤米离开酒吧的时候,没有一个人能站得起来
He wasn't holdin' nothin' back; he let 'em have it all.
最后一个人倒下的时候,他说:“这次是为了贝吉”
When Tommy left the barroom not a Gatlin boy was standin'.
他说:
He said, "This one's for Becky.", as he watched the last one fall.
“我答应过你,父亲不犯你犯下的错”
And I heard him say:
能避免麻烦事我当然会避免
"I promised you, Dad, not to do the things you've done.
但我回避这些事并不代表我是个懦夫
I'll walk away from trouble if I can.
父亲,我希望你能明白
Now please don't think I'm weak, I couldn't turn the other cheek,
有时候,你一定要打翻别人来证明你是个真的男人
And papa, I sure hope you understand:
以前郡里的每个人都觉得他是个懦夫
Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man."
Ev'ryone considered him the coward of the county...
