歌词
Some of us turn off the lights and we live
有一些人关了灯了
In the moonlight shooting by
而在月光的照射下，我们依然生活着
Some of us scare ourselves to death in the dark
在黑暗中有些人恐惧得要死
To be where the angels fly
而在那儿也有天使在飞
Pretty maids all in a row lined up
美丽的少女排成行
Outside my cabin door
在我的小木屋门外
I've never wanted any of 'em wanting me
我从没有奢望，她们中的某一位会青睐我
Except the girl from the red river shore
除了红河边的那个姑娘
Well I sat by her side and for a while I tried
哦，我坐在她旁边
To make that girl my wife
不是的，我想让那个姑娘做我的爱人
She gave me her best advice and she said
她给了我她最好的建议
Go home and lead a quiet life
她说，回家吧，去过平静的生活
Well I been to the east and I been to the west
哦，我去过东方也到过西方
And I been out where the black winds roar
即使我到过狂风肆虐的地方
Somehow though I never did get that far
但无论如何，我和红河边的那个姑娘
With the girl from the red river shore
从未去过那么远的地方
Well I knew when I first laid eyes on her
我知道，当我第一次看到她时
I could never be free

One look at her and I knew right away

She should always be with me
她将会是我的
Well the dream dried up a long time ago
哦，这样的梦在很久以前已干涸了
Don't know where it is anymore
梦已不知道去了哪儿
True to life, true to me
但对我来说，那是真实的
Was the girl from the red river shore
那个红河边的姑娘
Well I'm wearing the cloak of misery
哦，我披着痛苦的外衣
And I've tasted jilted love
我已品尝过逝去的爱
And the frozen smile upon my face

Fits me like a glove

Well I can't escape from the memory

Of the one I'll always adore

All those nights when I lay in the arms

Of the girl from the red river shore
那个红河边的姑娘
Well we're living in the shadows of a fading past
哦，我们生活在逝去的过往的阴影里
Trapped in the fires of time
我已被时光之火紧紧套牢
I've tried not to ever hurt anybody

From the girl from the red river shore

I'll ramble and gamble for the one I love

And the hills will give me a song

Well I went back to see about her once

Went back to straighten it out
回去想要弄清楚
Everybody that I talked to had seen us there
和我交谈的每个人都在那儿见到过我们
Said they didn't know who I was talking about

Well the sun went down on me a long time ago
哦，很久以前夕阳西下时
I've had to pull back from the door

I wish I could have spent every hour of my life
