歌词
He'd been dealt to bad hand nearly fifty years old.
他将五十岁了,却仍被命运玩弄于股掌中
Cleaning glasses at night in a bar.
深夜的酒吧里,擦杯子的正是他
Only one good handful to play in His tunes.
他用仅存的一只好手来演奏他的曲子
Only piano tired out and marred.
即便钢琴已经破烂不堪
And the stone angel hung on the wall up above.
天使的石像就挂在墙上
Looked out blind all the night long.
默视着夜空的一切
But when the one armed man played to an empty saloon.
而当一个独臂男人对着一个空酒馆演奏时
She looked down and smiled as he played her his songs.
她便低下头向他微笑,因那是为她而奏
Duke the white shepherd who guarded the room.
看守房间的白牧羊人公爵
Never leaving the back of the bar.
从不离开吧台后面
Would climb up on the stage, and curl up around his feet.
而他将爬上舞台,蜷缩在他的脚边
As to guard him and his music from harm.
保护他和他的音乐不受伤害
And the stone angel hung on the wall up above.
天使的石像就挂在墙上
Lokked out blind all the nights know.
此时再晚的夜均不重要
But when the one armed man played to an empty saloon.
而当一个独臂男人对着一个空酒馆演奏时
She looked down and smiled as he played her his songs.
她便低下头向他微笑,因那是为她而奏
I heard him one night when he thought to be alone.
有天晚上我听到他说想一个人静静
And I lied and I did hear him a wrong.
但其实我撒谎了,我是故意误解他的话的
I can't give back the pleasure His music game to me
我无以回报他弹奏音乐给予我的快乐
I can only give him this song.
我只能为他献上这首歌
He played better with one hand than most men with two.
他用一只手弹得比大多数人双手弹都要好
Yet made posters for all of the stars.
漫天的星星都因他而亮
And I wish to my heart he could play for you.
我真心希望他能为你演奏
So you'd know just how happy you are.
这样你就知道自己有多幸福了
And the stone angel hung on the wall up above.
天使的石像就挂在墙上
And me and the big white dog.
包括我和那只大白狗
All stop Once to listen.
我们全都专心起来
To the one armed man play
聆听这位独臂者的演奏
To their smiles,in an empty saloon
以及在空荡荡的酒馆里对着他微笑
