Wheels Of Laredo

On a winter night in Webb County, Texas
在得克薩斯州韋伯縣的一個冬夜
On the north bank of the mighty Rio Grande
在雄偉的里奧格蘭德的北岸
I was watching the jungle fires a-burnin'
我看見叢林大火燃燒著
Across the border of a not-so-distant land
走過前方不遠的一片地
And the echoes of the church bells that were swingin'
被撞擊的教堂大鐘的迴聲
Could be heard from Guadalupe Market Square
可以在瓜達盧佩廣場聽到
There was a girl down there in the south side of the river
河的南岸坐著一個女子
She had feathers tied into her long black hair
烏黑的長發繫著羽毛
And if I was I was White-Crowned Sparrow
如果我是一隻白冠帶鹀
I would float upon the southern skies of blue
我會在南邊的天空上翱翔
But I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo
但是我卻被困在這裡孤單的一角
Wishing I was rolling back to you
祈願著能回到你身邊
I put on my favorite jacket for Jamboozie
為Jamboozie穿上心愛的夾克
I painted up my eyes and wore my beads
在眼睛周圍抹上色彩戴上珠子項鍊
There was a band playing 'To God Be the Glory'
一支樂隊正在演奏《To God Be the Glory》
There were people dancing all around the street
街上都是翩翩起舞的人們
There were barrels on the sidewalk that were burning
發出火光的桶增添了歡快氣氛
And a fortune-teller readin' people's hands
算命先生看著人們的手相
And I swear, I heard those church bells ringing
我發誓，我在這裡聽到了教堂的鐘聲
'Cross the border of a not-so-distant land
走過前方不遠的一塊地
Singing, if I was White-Crowned Sparrow
唱著——如果我是一隻白冠帶鹀呀
I would float upon the southern skies of blue
我會在南邊的天空上翱翔
But I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo
但是我卻被困在這裡孤單的一角
Wishing I was rolling back to you
祈願著能回到你身邊
If I was White-Crowned Sparrow
如果我是一隻白冠帶鹀
I would float upon the southern skies of blue
我會在南邊的天空上翱翔
But I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo
但是我卻被困在這裡孤單的一角
Wishing I was rolling back to you
祈願著能回到你身邊
Wishing I was rolling back to you
祈願著能回到你身邊
