歌词
My father died a year ago today
一年前的今天，父亲去世了。
The rooster started crowing when they carried Dad away
当他们抬走父亲的身躯时，天刚刚破晓。
There beside my mother, in the living room, I stood
客厅中，我站在母亲身后，
With my brothers and my sisters, knowing Dad was gone for good
和兄弟姐妹一起，明白父亲已永远离去。
Well, I stayed at home just long enough to lay him in the ground
好吧，为了埋葬他，我一直待在家里，
And then I caught a plane to do a show up north in Detroit town
接下来我要在北方演出，于是我踏上了前往底特律的飞机。
Because I'm older now and I've got no time to cry
因为现在我已老去，没有多余的时间哭泣，
I've got no time to look back, I've got no time to see
也没有时间再回头，流连在逝去的时光里。
The pieces of my heart that have been ripped away from me
心中那些柔软的角落已离我远去，
And if the feeling starts to coming, I've learned to stop 'em fast
我也学会了在缅怀之前忘却，
'Cause I don't know, if I let 'em go, they might not want to pass
因为我知道，那些回忆一直在我脑海，历久弥新。
And there's just so many people trying to get me on the phone
可是，有太多人、太多事等着我去处理。
And there's bills to pay, and songs to play, and a house to make a home
未付的账单、未完的歌谣、自己的家庭。这是我现在生活的模样。
I guess I'm older now and I've got no time to cry
我想我已老去，不再有时间哭泣。
I can still remember when I was a girl
我还记得年少的时光，
But so many things have changed so much here in my world
但时过境迁，我的世界也变了太多。
I remember sitting on the front yard when an ambulance went by
记得那时我坐在院子里，救护车呼啸而过。
And just listening to those sirens I would break down and cry
听着警笛响起，我莫名开始哭泣。
But now I'm walking and I'm talking, doing just what I'm supposed to do
但是现在，我行走世间，做着这个年纪该做的事情，
Working overtime to make sure that I don't come unglued
为了自己不陷入崩溃而拼命工作。
I guess I'm older now and I've got no time to cry
我想我已老去，不再有时间哭泣，
I've got no time to look back, I've got no time to see
也没有时间回头，流连在逝去的时光里。
The pieces of my heart that have been ripped away from me
心中那些柔软的角落已离我远去，
And if the feeling starts to coming, I've learned to stop 'em fast

'Cause I don't know, if I let 'em go, they might not want to pass

I guess I'm older now and I've got no time to cry
我想我已老去，不再有时间哭泣。
Now I sit down on the sofa and I watch the evening news
现在我坐在沙发上，看着晚间新闻中，
There's a half a dozen tragedies from which to pick and choose
无数悲剧被挑拣后播出。
The baby that was missing was found in a ditch today
走失孩子的尸体卧在沟渠里，
And there's bombs a'flying and people dying not so far away
炸弹横飞，不远处的人们一个个死去。
And I'll take a beer from the 'frigerator and go sit out in the yard
算了吧，我要从冰箱里拿罐啤酒，在院子里坐会，
And with a cold one in my hand, I'm gonna bite down and swallow hard
痛快地喝，了无顾虑。
Because I'm older now and I've got no time to cry
我想我已老去，不再有时间哭泣，
I've got no time to look back, I've got no time to see

No time to cry
让我痛快哭泣。
No time to cry
让我痛快哭泣。
