John And Josie 歌词
John and Josie's only child
[tool:LrcMaker]
Young and handsome, fast and wild
约翰与乔茜有一独子叫乔尼
Join in the army at 18
风流倜傥,放荡不羁
Left the army at 18
舞象之年前去从军
Drift then from job to job
御射时节复员游离
Town to town and love to love
流离于工作与工作之间
Seven years forever, till young Jonnie came marching home
颠沛于大城与小爱的轮回
But Jonnie wasn't looking well
七年后,倦鸟知还
Went into the hospital
不过他身体似乎欠佳
Days turned into several weeks
疲倦的身体将他拖进了医院
Jonnie kept on losing weight
时间的流逝印证了他身体的疲倦
Josie said that John sit down
他日渐消瘦无奈停不下时间
John cried oh god, not my son
乔茜要约翰冷静下来
Jonnie left at 25
约翰恳求上帝将乔尼留下来
A hole as big as Jupiter
逾弱冠之年,乔尼终魂游
Nothing stronger than a love
稚子已仙去,如何思量愁
John and Josie head for Jonnie
爱的力量是如此的强烈
Threw his last birthday party
乔尼的身影一直游荡在眼前
No one from the family came
最后的生日,定格的笑颜
No one from the family came
而倦鸟已不再
Turns John and Josie's grief to shame
游子不复返
Shame to anger, anger pain
因被“夺”去挚爱而悔恨
Nothing they needed more of
因悔恨而愤懑
Two years's gone,
终无欲无求,空余白发
The telephone is ringing in the dim-lit den
两年悄悄走过人间
Beneath the wooden crucifix
一通电话邂逅了木屋中的黑夜
That John had punched the day he learned
在赭色的十字架下
That Jonnie wouldn't live much longer
早已在那天接受
Now a voice said to his father
乔尼离开的约翰
"John, we have a baby here “
被来自彼方的声音所震颤:
No one seems to want him
我们这里有一个孩子,
The baby doesn't have his parents
无人认领,
Two months old and with their virus."
没有父母
Josie grabbed the phone from John
两个月大似乎体质也差。”
Two of them said "yes, yes, yes"
乔茜一把拿下话筒
So John and Josie over 60
夫妻俩连声说“好好好”
Taking in a brand-new baby
年逾花甲的夫妻俩
Named in Paul Antonio
自此有了个新孩子
Jonnie would've loved him
起了个名字叫保罗·安东尼奥
Nothing stronger than a love
相信乔尼会爱他的
That John and Josie had for Jonnie
爱的力量是如此的伟大
The same love at they've fall apart
乔尼的身影再次浮现
They starting up to wheel again
那份爱与他们分离时没有差别
And of the fear that same could happen
那份爱也将无差别地继续延续
Losing Paul before his time comes
夫妻俩害怕那份爱会被中止
John and Josie looked right past it
担心会再次失去保罗
They're basking in love's mighty presents
不过,悲剧不会再次上演
John and Josie don't have time
如今,他们沐浴在圣光下
They're basking in love's mighty presents
时间也将悄悄走过他们的生命
而一切也都成为过往云烟
