歌词
We heard first from you
事后我们第一次听到你的消息
and then in the papers
是在报纸上的报道
and the radio said 3pm
然后下午三点了收音机上说了这个消息
when all of people
当所有的人
crowded around at the stakes
挤在那些桩的周围
just yards from the lake
就在湖边几码的地方
但是我们听见你说道
But we heard you say
没人知道
that nobody knew about
危险还有这所有的舞台
the dangers and all the stages
都解释着一个骇人听闻的消息
opened up an appalling line
人们徒劳无功的等待
of people waiting in vain
这时下起了雨
as it started to rain
我们在那些日子里欢笑
那时候我不愿提起五月的最后一个星期
we had laughed about the days
有时候我们讲故事
when I wouldn't say the fourth of May
一些已经老去了的电影明星的故事
and sometimes we told stories
但假装他们还只是十七岁
where movies stars were old
我们花了一美元去看了他们的电影
and made up to seem like they were only seventeen
我们听说你摔倒了
and then we'd spend a dollar for the frames
就在火苗窜出来的时候
人们都开始大叫
we heard that you fell down
说有些人摔倒了仍躺着不能站起来
when the flames came out
但他们的面容在火苗的映衬下慢慢黯淡
and people started to shout
后来的新闻报道了遇难者的名字
that some had fallen and still lay down
我们在那些日子里欢笑
their faces dark from the flames
那时候我不愿提起五月的最后一个星期
the news had read out the names
有时候我们讲故事
一些已经老去了的电影明星的故事
we had laughed about the days
但假装他们还只是十七岁
when I wouldn't say the fourth of May
我们花了一美元去看了他们的电影
and sometimes we told stories
我们在那些日子里欢笑
where movies stars were old
那时候我不愿提起五月的最后一个星期
and made up to seem like they were only seventeen
有时候我们讲故事
and then we'd spend a dollar for the frames
一些已经老去了的电影明星的故事
但假装他们还只是十七岁
we had laughed about the days
我们花了一美元去看了他们的电影
when I wouldn't say the fourth of May
and sometimes we told stories
where movies stars were old
and made up to seem like they were only seventeen
and then we'd spend a dollar for the frames
