John and Josie

歌词
David Roth - John And Josie
大卫·罗斯 - 约翰与乔茜
(强尼是)约翰与乔茜的独子
John and Josie's only child
年轻英俊,(却也)放纵不羁
young and handsome, fast and wild
(像许多普通孩子那样,)18岁那年去部队参军(接受磨练),
join in the army at 18
18岁那年从部队退伍,
left the army at 18
参加工作后,不断受挫跳槽,
drift then from job to job
经历过飘泊(他乡的无助),爱情(的失意),
town to town and love to love
(漫长的)7年(过)后,年轻的强尼回到家乡,(回到父母身旁)。
7 years forever, till young Jonnie came marching home
但是,(此时)强尼的身体并不是很好,
but Jonnie wasn't looking well
很快,(他便)被送往医院接受治疗,
went into the hospital
(刚开始,夫妻二人以为)几天(就能出院),(没想到)几周(后病情急转直下)。
days turned into several weeks
眼看强尼一天天消瘦下去,
Jonnie kept on losing weight
乔茜只能(强忍悲伤)劝慰约翰要冷静,
Josie said that John sit down
(无奈的)约翰哭求上帝,希望能把孩子留在他们身边。
John cried oh god,not my son
(但事与愿违,)强尼在25岁那年,(流星划过夜空般)离开人世。
Jonnie left at 25
(夫妻二人)承受着(突如其来的)失子之痛,情感的空洞(顿时)无法愈合,
hole as big as Jupiter
爱的力量无与伦比,
约翰和乔茜脑海中全是强尼,
there's nothing stronger than a love
(二人眼前仿佛还是)去年生日宴会上,强尼灿烂微笑(的场景),
John and Josie head for Jonnie
但这一切只是幻觉,强尼(现在猝然)离开了他们,
throughing his last birthday party
永远不会再回来,永远不会了。
no one from the family came
痛失我爱,希望不再,
(夫妻二人)被巨痛、愧疚,甚至是愤怒深深包裹着,
no one from the family came
生活也因此黯然,了无意义。
turns John and Josie's grift to shame
强尼已经走了两年,(生活如流水一般,在平淡与安静中继续着)
shame to anger,anger pain
(直到有一天,一个陌生的)电话在黑暗的角落响起,
nothing they needed more now
(天地之大,世间万物来来去去,皆有定数,)
约翰很清楚电话那头不再是已经离世的强尼,
2 years's gone,
但他还是接起了电话,
the telephone is ringing in the dim the damn
(只听到,电话那头)一个遥远的声音,对约翰说,
beneath the world and cluser face
有一个孩子,强尼的孩子,
but John had punched the day he learned
(可怜的他只有)两个月大,双眼无神,
that Jonnie he wouldn't live much longer
无人认领,
now a voice said to his father
也没有父母疼爱,(所以,找到电话,是否可以)留给约翰与乔茜(抚养)。
Jonnie have a baby here
乔茜一把将电话从约翰手里夺过来,
no one seems to want him
夫妻二人(激动地)说:可以,可以,可以。
所以,年过60的约翰和乔茜,
baby doesn't have his parents
又重新开始抚养照顾起一个婴儿来,
2 months old and with a pair of eyeless
还为他起名叫保罗·安东尼奥,
Josie grabbed the phone from John
(要是强尼还在世的话,)也一定会非常爱这个孩子。
two of them said yes yes yes
爱的力量无与伦比,
so John and Josie over 60
约翰和乔茜又想起了他们的强尼,
taking in a brand-new baby
同样的爱,让他们天人分离,
named Paul Antonio
又是同样的爱,重新将他们汇聚(天之大,岁月轮回,夫妻二人,把对强尼的爱,重新倾注到了怀里的他)。
Jonnie would've loved him
当然,他们偶尔也担心,不幸会再次降临,
担心在保罗长大前再一次失去他。
nothing stronger than a love
看起来,悲剧不会再次上演,
John and Josie head for Jonnie
约翰和乔茜在孩子的成长中老去,
the same love at they've fall apart
(尽管)二人离生命的尽头越来越近,
they starting up to win again
他们现在的生活(却)温馨而满足,爱意浓浓,(夫妻二人在大爱无痕中老去......)
and on the fear that same could happen
[翻译:你乘锄奏]
losing paul before his time comes
John and Josie looked right past it
they're basketing in love's mighty presents
John and Josie don't have time
they're basket in love's mighty presents
