Rock 'N Roll (I Gave You The Best Years Of My Life)

Oh, I can still remember
哦 我仍然能想起
When I bought my first guitar
当我买我的第一把吉他时
Remember walking from the shop
我从商店走出来
To put it proudly in my car
得意地将它放进我的车里
And my family listened fifty times
我的家人听过了无数次
To my two song repertoire
我全部的两首歌曲

我告诉妈妈她唯一的儿子
I told my mom her only son
将会成为一位明星
Was gonna be a star
我买了披头士所有的唱片
Well, I bought all the Beatles records
听起来就像保罗在我身边
Sounded just like Paul
我买了查克·贝里所有的老唱片
I bought all the old Chuck Berrys
包括78年的和其他所有
78s and all
我坐在我的电唱机旁

弹奏他们所演奏过的每一个音符
And I sat by my record player
我在电视上看他们所有的节目
Playing every note they played
并且模仿他们做的每一个动作
I watched them all on TV
哦，摇滚，我把我生命中所有
And copied every move they made
最好的年华都献给了你
Aw, rock and roll, I gave you all
所有梦幻的、阳光明媚的星期天
The best years of my life
所有月色皎洁的夏夜
All the dreamy sunny Sundays
我是多么忙碌地在后屋
All the moonlit summer nights
为你谱写爱的歌曲
I was so busy in the backroom
当你一直在改变着你的发展趋势时
Writing love songs to you
而你甚至永远不会知道
While you were changing your direction
我总是与你仅有一步之遥
And you never even knew
好像在1966那一年
That I was always just one step behind you
我真的去了某个地方
Well, '66 seemed like the year
我生活在圣弗朗西斯科
I was really going somewhere
头上插着鲜花
I was living in San Francisco
唱着友好的歌
Wearing flowers in my hair
于是这个世界会理解
Singing songs of kindness
我和我的伙伴们
So the world would understand
不仅仅是另一支乐队
The guys and me thought we were more
哦，摇滚，我把我生命中所有
Than just another band
最好的年华都献给了你
Aw, rock and roll, I gave you all
所有疯狂的、懒散的、青春的日子
The best years of my life
所有夜空中魔幻的月亮
All the crazy, lazy, young days
我是那么忙碌地在路上
All the magic moon at nights
为你唱着爱的歌曲
I was so busy on the road
当你一直在改变着你的发展趋势时
Singing love songs to you
而你甚至永远不会知道
While you were changing your direction
我总是与你仅有一步之遥

1971那一年我十分孤独
And you never even knew
那时我遇到了莎拉·简
That I was always just one step behind you
我正在努力尝试
Well, '71, I was all alone
去另一支乐队独奏
When I met Sarah Jan
她轻柔地向我走来
I was trying to go it solo
牵我的手带着我走
With someone elses band
她倾听着我的问题
And she came up to me softly
并且她似乎有所理解
And she took me by the hand
后来她跟着我去了伦敦
She listened to my problems
我们辗转了成百上千的旅馆
And she seemed to understand
走过了许多唱片公司
And she followed me to London
他们都不喜欢我的乐音
To a hundred hotel rooms
她跟着我回到了田纳西
Through a hundred record companies
在这里她最终使我明白
Who didn't like my tunes
我只是一个朴实无华的乡村老男孩
She followed me back to Tennessee
我也永远只能是这样
Where she finally made me see
哦，摇滚，我把我生命中所有
I'm just a plain old country boy
最好的年华都献给了你
That's all I'll ever be
所有梦幻的、阳光明媚的星期天
Aw, rock and roll, I gave you
所有月色皎洁的夏夜
All the best years of my life
尽管我永远不会知道
All the dreamy, sunny Sundays
和你一起创造音乐的魔力
All the moonlit summer nights
我正在和我的乡村音乐和睦相处
And though I never knew
做着我天生就该做的事
The magic of making it with you
但我总是和你仅有一步之遥
I'm getting along with my country songs
哦，摇滚，我把我生命中所有
Doing what I was born to do
最好的年华都献给了你
But I always was just one step behind you
所有梦幻的、阳光明媚的星期天
Aw, rock and roll, I gave you
所有月色皎洁的夏夜
All the best years of my life
All the dreamy sunny Sundays,
all the moon-lit summer nights,
