歌词
Up at Henry’s Bar & Grill
在亨利的小酒吧里烧烤
On the north side of town
在小镇的北边
I saw a man reach up to heaven
我看见有人飘上了天堂
And pull a song on down
他的歌声却飞回人间
To a smoke filled room of misfits
传到那烟味缭绕的房间里
Young and old and big and small
那里的人们或老或少 皆不如意
And with the laughing eyes of the Buddha
他脸上是和善的笑容
He shared it with us all
和我们共同分享着欢乐
And every soul in that roadhouse
路边小旅馆的人们啊
Felt the power of his song
听出了这歌声中的力量
Through life’s joys and sorrows
唱的是酸甜苦辣 起起伏伏
He brought us together as one
他让我们团结在了一起
They called him “God’s own yodeler,
他们称他是上帝的歌者
The Pavarotti of the plains”
是这大平原上的帕瓦罗蒂
There’s no bigger voice in Texas
德克萨斯不会有比这更嘹亮的歌声
Don Walser was his name
他的名字是 Don Walser
He was raised out in Lamesa
在lamesa长大
Just a boy when his mamma died

With daddy at the mill all night
父亲整夜在工厂劳作
In that empty house he cried
他孤单一人 在房子里哭泣
He’d climb up in the oak tree
他爬上那颗老橡树
To sing his broken heart
哭着唱起歌
The neighbors gathered in the yard
邻居们跑到院子里
Listening in the dark
听着他唱
Singing songs about West Texas
唱的是这西德克萨斯的风光人文
Cowboys and old John Deeres
牛仔们 收割机
Rodeos and drive-ins
训牛表演 汽车电影院
And the thrill of teenage years
还有少年的狂欢
They called him “God’s own yodeler,
他们称他是上帝的歌者
The Pavarotti of the plains”
是这大平原上的帕瓦罗蒂
There’s no bigger voice in Texas

Don Walser was his name
他的名字是 Don Walser
从破酒馆和舞厅
From the honky-tonks and dance halls
到橡树剧院
To the grand ole opery
每个乐迷满是欣喜
Don Walser brought a smile
看着Don Walser的来到
To every fan who came to see
如今他坐着轮椅吸着氧气
Now it’s oxygen and wheelchairs
街上的医院 一去再去
And trips to the docs in town
住院的时间 越来越长
The stays kept getting longer
他已经知道 自己将荣归尘土
He knew he was glory bound
朋友啊，你已经唱了足够多的歌曲
My friend, your work is done here
让我怎能不佩服
And I’d say you did it well
你的声音从天堂传到人间
Your voice rings down from heaven
一路跑到地底
All the way to the devil himself
如今你是上帝的歌者了
And now you’re God’s own yodeler
俯视着德克萨斯的平原
High above the Texas plains
我们在奥斯丁谈起你
We miss you here in Austin
怀念你
With love we speak you name
