歌词
One time I shook hands with a pirate
一次我和海盗握手
He gave me a map to all his gold
他给了一张藏其毕生金子的地图
After a lifetime I finally found it
耗尽一生 我最终找到了它
By then I was too old to bring it home
但那时我已年迈 无法将它带回家
It was a long way down
这是一条漫长的路
On a snowy night in late December
十二月末的一个雪夜
I set out to find some mistletoe
我开始寻找一些槲寄生
She had promised me all kinds of kisses
她允诺我能得到女孩的亲吻
None of them were worth the bones I broke
但都抵不过我经历的挫折
It was a long way down
这是一条漫长的路
Long way to fall to have nobobdy catch you
路途漫长 跌倒无人扶
Long way to call to have nobody answer
路途漫长 求助无人应
Long walk home if you don't know the mountain roads
若不熟悉山路 归途则慢慢
One night while playing in a graveyard
一夜在墓园嬉戏时
Somebody's hand reached up and grabbed my leg
有人伸手抓住我的腿
It was my dearly departed grandpa
正是我已故的爷爷
He said I bet you thought that I was dead
他说你定认为我已辞世
I was just long way down
我只是走了很久
It's on the night before the day that I got married
在我新婚前一夜
An old man said hey, listen to me, son
一位老人说 嘿 孩子 听我说
Make sure you wanna hold that girl forever
确定你想与她长相厮守
Cause once you say I do you gotta do until it's done
一旦承诺 必须守护至永远
And it's a long way down
这是一条漫长的路
Long way to fall to have nobobdy catch you
路途漫长 跌倒无人扶
Long way to call to have nobody answer
路途漫长 求助无人应
Long walk home if you don't know the mountain roads
若不熟悉山路 归途则慢慢
It's a long fall down to earth from heaven
从天上降至世间 路途漫漫
A long walk back to there from here
回路亦漫漫
And sometimes the difference between them is hard to tell
有时两地的差异难以言喻
One time I met a tree out in the forest
一次我在森林见到一棵树
I said tree, I wanna be as big as you
我说 树儿 我想和你一样高大
He said boy, I wish you never had found me
他说 小子 我希望你从未找到我
Cause that means that lumberjack can find me too
因为那意味着伐木工也能找到我
It's a long way down
这是一条漫长的路
