歌词
Lived in a city, no one knew he was there
他曾在一座城市生活过 没人注意过他的存在
The little old man with silver hair
那个满头银发的小老头
And he's listened to Beethoven every day
过去每天他都听贝多芬的曲子
No, the little old man never came out to play
老头从来没出去玩过
He was sweet and quiet with a thoughtful mind
他和蔼、安静，有一颗懂得体贴关怀的心
Didn't know how to be cruel, only kind
不晓得残忍该是如何 内心全是善意
Now he's up in the heavens doesn't care for his money
他如今去了天堂 淡泊金钱
Checking everyone still loves everybody
检验每个人是否依旧博爱众生
Born in a mountains one of nature's wild
出生在大山里 其中一处自然原始之地
His mother walked out, she was only a child
他妈妈出走了 她当时还是个孩子
So he was sent to the state to be loved by another
所以他被寄送到州里面 由他人看护着
But the little young boy just wanted his mother
但小男孩只想要他的妈妈
她由始至终都没有承认是她的儿子
She never admitted that he was her son
所以他用了60年的时间诉说着自己无依无靠
So he spent 60 years saying he had no one
他还讲述了一大堆事给周围的人听
And told all of those around him a multitude of things
保持着距离，不靠太近，担忧未来会怎样
Did not get too close, scared of what the future brings
奥尔多，我们爱你，每天都怀念你
Aldo, we love you and miss you every day
你的精神仍活着 小提琴拉响 我们重奏
Your spirit still lives on, the violins are on we replay
我们经常演奏你喜欢的歌 不断循环
We played your favourite songs very often on repeat
我很抱歉花了很长时间才在纸上写下这些话语
I'm sorry it took so long to write these words down on a sheet
认识他大概是在我刚满十岁的时候
我们的生日相近 从那时起我们成了朋友
I met him when I had just turned around ten
他有成箱成箱的彩炮靠墙堆放
We had similar birthdays, we were friends from then
还有一瓶瓶的香槟 是为了大家留的
He had boxes of crackers piled against the wall
他住在我中学附近
And bottles of champagne that he saved for us all
他没有家庭 所以我们引起了他的注意
He lived 'round the corner from my secondary school
一个以前总是被他逗笑的年轻女孩 在特斯科工作的 听到这个悲伤的消息后泪流不止
And he had no family, so it was us that he saw
奥尔多在他84岁的时候去世了
And a young girl from Tesco who he would always amuse, would not stop crying when she heard the sad news
他生前非常宠爱我们 跟他待在一起 我们找到了自我
他妈妈大概是80年前出走的
Aldo passed away at aged 84
结果她就住在沿路的一栋房子里
We found ourselves with him and it was us he adored
这听起来很像电影里牵强的故事
And his mother who walked out around 80 years ago
但这是发生在奥尔多身上的真实人生
Turned out to live in a house just down the road
我们经常演奏他喜欢的歌 不断循环
It sounds like a far fetched story from a film
我很抱歉花了很长时间才在纸上写下这些话语
But this was Aldo's life it really happened to him
And we played his favourite song very often on repeat
And I'm sorry it took so long to write these words down on a sheet
