John And Josie 歌詞
John and Josie's only child
[tool:LrcMaker]
Young and handsome, fast and wild
約翰與喬茜有一獨子叫喬尼
Join in the army at 18
風流倜儻,放蕩不羈
Left the army at 18
舞象之年前去從軍
Drift then from job to job
禦射時節復員游離
Town to town and love to love
流離於工作與工作之間
Seven years forever, till young Jonnie came marching home
顛沛於大城與小愛的輪迴
But Jonnie wasn't looking well
七年後,倦鳥知還
Went into the hospital
不過他身體似乎欠佳
Days turned into several weeks
疲倦的身體將他拖進了醫院
Jonnie kept on losing weight
時間的流逝印證了他身體的疲倦
Josie said that John sit down
他日漸消瘦無奈停不下時間
John cried oh god, not my son
喬茜要約翰冷靜下來
Jonnie left at 25
約翰懇求上帝將喬尼留下來
A hole as big as Jupiter
逾弱冠之年,喬尼終魂遊
Nothing stronger than a love
稚子已仙去,如何思量愁
John and Josie head for Jonnie
愛的力量是如此的強烈
Threw his last birthday party
喬尼的身影一直遊蕩在眼前
No one from the family came
最後的生日,定格的笑顏
No one from the family came
而倦鳥已不再
Turns John and Josie's grief to shame
遊子不復返
Shame to anger, anger pain
因被“奪”去摯愛而悔恨
Nothing they needed more of
因悔恨而憤懣
Two years's gone,
終無欲無求,空餘白發
The telephone is ringing in the dim-lit den
兩年悄悄走過人間
Beneath the wooden crucifix
一通電話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
喬尼離開的約翰
'John, we have a baby here “
被來自彼方的聲音所震顫:
No one seems to want him
我們這裡有一個孩子,
The baby doesn't have his parents
無人認領,
Two months old and with their virus.'
沒有父母
Josie grabbed the phone from John
兩個月大似乎體質也差。 ”
Two of them said 'yes, yes, yes'
喬茜一把拿下話筒
So John and Josie over 60
夫妻倆連聲說“好好好”
Taking in a brand -new baby
年逾花甲的夫妻倆
Named in Paul Antonio
自此有了個新孩子
Jonnie would've loved him
起了個名字叫保羅·安東尼奧
Nothing stronger than a love
相信喬尼會愛他的
That John and Josie had for Jonnie
愛的力量是如此的偉大
The same love at they've fall apart
喬尼的身影再次浮現
They starting up to wheel again
那份愛與他們分離時沒有差別
And of the fear that same could happen
那份愛也將無差別地繼續延續
Losing Paul before his time comes
夫妻倆害怕那份愛會被中止
John and Josie looked right past it
擔心會再次失去保羅
They're basking in love's mighty presents
不過,悲劇不會再次上演
John and Josie don't have time
如今,他們沐浴在聖光下
They're basking in love's mighty presents
時間也將悄悄走過他們的生命
而一切也都成為過往雲煙
