歌词
Well, there's always been groups of people that never could see eye-to-eye
通常，人们绝不会互相对视
An’ I always thought if they’d get the chance to sit down and talk face to face they might realize they got a lot in common
可我一直认为，如果他们有机会坐下来面对面谈一谈的话，他们可能意识到他们注定失败
Well, I was sitting in a coffee shop, just having a cup to pass the time
我坐在咖啡馆，用一杯咖啡来打发时间
Swapping rodeo stories with this old cowboy friend o' mine
和我那个玩牛仔竞技的老朋友互相讲故事
When some motorcycle riders started snickerin' in the back
当几个摩托车手开始在后面窃笑
And started pokin' fun at my friend's hat
开始打我朋友帽子的乐子
One old boy said, "Hey Tex, where'd you park your horse?"
一个老家伙说：“嘿，牛仔，你把马栓在哪儿了。”
My friend just pulled his hat down low, but they couldn't be ignored
我朋友只是压低他的帽子不做声，可他们却得寸进尺
One husky fellow said "I think I'll rip that hat right off your head"
一个壮汉吼道：“我想我会把你的脑袋给撕下来。”
That's when my friend turned around, and this is what he said
我的朋友转过身，说到：
"You'll ride a black tornado 'cross the western sky
你会骑着黑色的龙卷风，穿过西部的天空
Rope an old Blue Northern, and milk it 'til it's dry
用绳子套住一个古老的蓝色北方，把它榨干
Bulldog the Mississippi, pin its ears down flat
密西西比斗牛犬号，把他压平
Long before you take this cowboy's hat"
在你碰到这顶牛仔帽之前
Now, partner, this old hat is better left alone
现在，这是帽子的一部分，最好别管它
You see it used to be my daddy's, but last year he passed on
你要明白，他曾是我爸爸的，但他去年去世了
My nephew skinned the rattler that makes up this old hatband
我侄子剥下了响尾蛇的皮 装饰了它的帽带
And back in '69 he died in Vietnam
但他在69年死在了越南
Now, the eagle feather was given to me by an Indian friend of mine
这鹰毛是我一个印第安朋友送的
But somebody ran him down, somewhere around that Arizona line
但他被人赶走了，现在可能在亚利桑一带
And a real special lady gave me this hat pin
一个特别要好的女士给了我这帽针
But I don't know if I'll ever see her again
可我却不知到能否与她再次重逢
"You'll ride a black tornado 'cross the western sky
你会骑着黑色的龙卷风，穿过西部的天空
Rope an old Blue Northern, and milk it 'til it's dry
用绳子套住一个古老的蓝色北方，把它榨干
Bulldog the Mississippi, pin its ears down flat
密西西比斗牛犬号，把他压平
Long before you take this cowboy's hat"
在你碰到这顶牛仔帽之前
"Now, if that old leather jacket means to you what this hat means to me
这帽子对我的意义就像你的老皮夹克对你来说一样重要
Well, I guess we understand each other, and we'll just let it be
我猜我们应该能互相理解，到此为止吧
But if you still think it's funny, man, you've got my back up against the wall
但如果你执意认为那很好笑的话，那就是把我逼急了
And if you touch my hat, you're gonna have to fight us all"
如果你碰到我的帽子，那就得和我们所有人开战
Right then I caught a little sadness in that gang leader's eyes
这时 我从他们的老大眼中看到了一丝悲伤
And he turned back to the others and they all just kinda shuffled on outside
他转身对着其他人，然后他们就慢慢走了出去
But when my friend turned back toward me, I noticed his old hat brim
但当我朋友转身面向我，我注意到了他的旧帽沿
It was turned up in a big old Texas grin
它被赶了出来，带着德州人特有的笑容
"You'll ride a black tornado 'cross the western sky

Rope an old Blue Northern, and milk it 'til it's dry

Long before you take this cowboy's hat"
