The Caretaker

The Caretaker -Johnny Cash
I live in the cemetery ol'caretaker they call me
我住在一個墓園裡，人們都叫我守墓人
In the wintertime I rake the leaves and in the summer I cut the weeds
我耙去寒冬的落葉，我剪走盛夏的雜草
When a funeral comes the people cry and pray
當葬禮的氛圍瀰漫，人們哭著一邊祈禱
They bury their dead and they all go away
他們掩埋他們的死者，便一去無踪
And here I work and I somehow hide from a world that rushes by outside
我只是一聲不吭地在這工作，躲避園外喧囂的浮世
But each night when I rest my head I'm contented as the peaceful death
但當夜幕降臨我一個小憩，我會一頭扎入夢中，享受安謐的死亡
But who's gonna cry when old John dies who's gonna cry when old John dies
可誰會為我的死而哭？誰會為我的死而哭？
Once I was a young man dashing with the girls
風華正茂時，我總能吸引姑娘們的眼光
Now no one wants an old man I lost my handsome curls
如今沒人想要我這個老東西，落光了滿頭秀發
But I wanna say when my time comes lay me facing the rising sun
但我只想說當我大限將至，留我躺在地上，凝望那燦爛的太陽
Put me in the corner where I buried my pup
把我丟在我愛狗的墳旁
Tell the preacher to pray then cover me up
讓牧師開始禱告，然後就讓他們把我遺忘吧
Don't plant flowers where my head should be maybe God let some grow for me
別在我墳上種花，上帝會讓春色常駐我墳前
And all the little children that I love like my own
最後，我想知道所有我視若己出的孩子們
Will they be sorry that old John's gone
會為我的離開感到惋惜嗎
Who's gonna cry when old John dies who's gonna cry when old John dies
可誰會為我的死而哭？誰會為我的死而哭？
