Maggie's Song

Let me tell you a story

About an old friend of mine

Somebody left her in a shopping cart
有人把她遺留在了購物車裡
In a parking lot for us to find
放在停車場裡我們發現了她
Just a fuzzy black pup
她是一隻毛茸茸的黑色小狗
She was hungry and feeling alone
她飢餓不堪身旁也無人作伴
We put her in the back seat
我們把她放上了後座
And told her we were taking her home
告訴她我們會帶她回家
Run, Maggie run
跑吧麥琪快跑吧
With the heart of a rebel child
帶著你這顆孩子一般叛逆的心
Oh, run, Maggie run
跑吧麥琪快跑吧
Be just as free as you are wild
像你胸中的野性一般奔向自由
A few kids later
後來生了幾個孩子
We moved out on the farm
我們搬家來到了農場
And she followed those kids around
她仍然喜歡跟著孩子們嬉鬧
Yeah, she kept them safe from harm
她保護著孩子們不受傷害
And she loved to chase squirrels
她喜歡追松鼠玩
And playing out in the snow
還有在雪地裡撒歡
Shed take off like a bullet
她像子彈一般迅速動身
Man, you should have seen her go
伙計你可得看看她的動作
Run, Maggie run

With the heart of a rebel child

It was raining on a Monday
有次週一下雨了
The day that Maggie died
那一天麥琪離開了人世
She woke up and couldnt use her legs
她醒過來發現腿已經沒了知覺
So I laid down by her side
於是我躺在了她身旁
She put her head on my hand
她把頭靠上了我的手
Like shed done so many times
就像過去無數次那樣
I told her she was a good dog
我告訴她她是一隻好狗
Then I told her goodbye
最後向她道了那句離別
Run, Maggie run
跑吧麥琪快跑吧
With the heart of a rebel child
帶著你這顆孩子一般叛逆的心
Oh, run, Maggie run

Bejust as free as you are wild

I had a revelation
我從中獲得了一些啟示
As the tractor dug a hole
當我用拖拉機為她挖了坑
I can tell you right now
我現在可以告訴你
That a dog has a soul
就是一隻狗狗也有自己的靈魂
And I thought to myself
我在心中暗自想著
As we buried her on the hill
當我們將她埋在山坡上
I never knew me a better dog
我從未見過比她更好的狗
And I guess I never will
我想以後也再也不會見到
