歌词
We won the war in the valley,
我们赢得了山谷之役
We packed up all of our things.
我们收拾行囊准备回家
We said goodbye to the alley.
我们向曾住的小巷挥别
Oh, we could not wait for spring,
噢 我们可不能再等到下一个春天了
Oh, we could not wait for spring.
噢 下一个春天到来时我们早已离去
带走我们在维吉尼亚窃来的东西
Took what we stole in Virginia,
把过往的回忆埋藏在箱子中
Buried it all in a box.
我们在孟菲斯的郊外将它掩埋
We dug a hole outside Memphis,
用碎石泥土将它遮挡
covered it up with rocks.
我喝了最后一口水
I took the last of the water,
然后你把我们的水壶倒空了
You emptied our canteens,
我们在牢骚声中深陷往日时光
We dipped back down in the holler.
噢 我们可不能再等到下一个春天了
噢 下一个春天到来时我们早已离去
Oh we could not wait for spring.
我们开着那辆福特车穿过沙漠
Oh we could not wait for spring.
走过鬼城和旧铁轨
但糟糕的天气险些将我们撕碎
We drove that Ford through the desert,
可我们已经无路可退
Past the ghost town and old railroad tracks,
我把心爱的吉他带到当铺
We got torn up in the weather,
你也当掉了祖母的结婚戒指
We barely did make it back.
我们为过冬准备了大衣
噢 我们可不能再等到下一个春天了
Took my guitar to the pawn shop,
噢 下一个春天到来时我们早已离去
you took your grandmother's rings,
即使我在芝加哥混的很好
We bought wool coats for the winter,
但那是我见他的最后一面
Oh, we could not wait for spring.
听闻他在奥斯丁中弹身亡
Oh, we could not wait for spring.
在一个喧闹的夏夜
我们从纽约出发
Thought I played well in Chicago,
大雪下个不停简直让人抓狂
It was the last time I saw him alive.
北州冬天的日子漫长而寒冷
Heard he got shot down in Austin,
噢 我们可不能再等到下一个春天了
On a rowdy summer night.
噢 下一个春天到来时我们早已离去
过往已成殇 我回不去了
We head out of New York City
但我们不会羞愧地低下头
And the snow nearly drove us insane.
我们不遵从任何人的约束
Winter's in Upstate are so bitter,
可我们也永远不知道该去责怪谁
But we could not wait for spring,
我把靴子放在火上烤着
Oh we could not wait for spring.
我身上的每一寸似乎都已颓废
我最好的朋友们都在欺骗着我
I can't get back what was stolen,
但我却和他们感同身受
but we won't hang our heads down in shame,
是的 我能理解他们的无奈
We don't take orders from no one,
记得上次我们聚在一起
So we never know whose to blame.
结束时没人舍得说再见
也许我们还能在河边见上一面
I put my boots on the fire,
再见一面吧 就在七月四日
Wore out from the soul to the heel
最后一面吧 就在七月四日
All of my best friends are liars.
I know just how they feel.
Yeah, and I know just how they feel.
Last time we all got together,
Nobody did say goodbye,
We'll see you back at the river,
Again, on the Fourth of July
Again on the Forth of July.
