Coward Of The County - Kenny Rogers (肯尼·罗杰斯)[00:00:00]

//[00:00:11]

Everyone considered him the coward of the county[00:00:11]

每人都认为他是村里的懦夫[00:00:18]

He'd never stood one single time to prove the county wrong[00:00:18]

他却从来不单独站出来反驳[00:00:24]

His mama named him Tommy but folks just called him Yellow[00:00:24]

他母亲叫他汤米,村民们却叫他胆小鬼[00:00:31]

Something always told me they were reading Tommy wrong[00:00:31]

有些事情提醒我,村民们并不了解汤米[00:00:38]

He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison[00:00:38]

他父亲死在监狱时,他才十岁[00:00:45]

I looked after Tommy 'cause he was my brother's son[00:00:45]

从那以后我一直照顾他,因为我是他叔叔[00:00:51]

I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy[00:00:51]

我还记得我哥哥去世前对汤米说的话[00:00:58]

"Son my life is over but yours has just begun"[00:00:58]

儿子,我的人生结束了,你的才刚开始[00:01:05]

"Promise me son not to do the things I've done[00:01:05]

答应我,儿子,不要走我的老路子[00:01:11]

Walk away from trouble if you can[00:01:11]

尽你所能远离麻烦[00:01:16]

It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek[00:01:16]

忍气吞声不意味着你懦弱[00:01:21]

I hope you're old enough to understand[00:01:21]

我希望你能够理解这些[00:01:27]

Son you don't have to fight to be a man"[00:01:27]

儿子,你没必要用打架的方法来证明你是个爷们[00:01:32]

There's someone for everyone and Tommy's love was Becky[00:01:32]

有一个支持汤米的人,也是汤米所爱的人,贝基[00:01:39]

In her arms he didn't have to prove he was a man[00:01:39]

和她拥抱在一起,汤米不会因嘲笑而生气[00:01:46]

One day while he was working the Gatlin boys came calling[00:01:46]

有一天他工作时，混小子们告诉他[00:01:53]

They took turns at Becky an' there was three of them[00:01:53]

他们轮番凌辱贝基，一共三人[00:02:00]

Tommy opened up the door and saw his Becky crying[00:02:00]

汤米冲进房间看见了哭泣的贝基[00:02:07]

The torn dress the shattered look was more than he could stand[00:02:07]

那凌乱不堪的样子超过了他所能忍受的[00:02:14]

He reached above the fireplace and took down his daddy's picture[00:02:14]

他摸索着壁炉,取下了父亲的照片[00:02:20]

As his tears fell on his daddy's face he heard these words again[00:02:20]

他的眼泪落在了父亲的脸上,他似乎又一次听到了父亲在说[00:02:27]

"Promise me Son not to do the things I've done[00:02:27]

答应我,儿子,不要走我的老路子[00:02:33]

Walk away from trouble if you can[00:02:33]

尽你所能远离麻烦[00:02:38]

It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek[00:02:38]

忍气吞声不意味着你懦弱[00:02:43]

I hope you're old enough to understand[00:02:43]

Son you don't have to fight to be a man"[00:02:48]

儿子,你没必要用打架的方法来证明你是个爷们[00:02:54]

The Gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the bar room[00:02:54]

汤米进入酒吧,混小子们还在嘲笑他[00:03:01]

One of them got up and met him half way cross the floor[00:03:01]

又一个人半路截住了他[00:03:08]

When Tommy turned around they said "Hey look Old Yellow's leaving"[00:03:08]

当汤米转身,那个混小子喊,快看,胆小鬼要走了[00:03:15]

But you could've heard a pin drop[00:03:15]

然而当他们发现汤米只是把门锁死时[00:03:17]

When Tommy stopped and locked the door[00:03:17]

都鸦雀无声[00:03:22]

Twenty years of crawling were bottled up inside him[00:03:22]

他受够了二十年的忍耐[00:03:28]

He wasn't holding nothing back he let 'em have it all[00:03:28]

他抑制不住了,要让他们尝点苦头[00:03:35]

When Tommy left the bar room not a Gatlin boy was standing[00:03:35]

当汤米离开酒吧,没有一个小流氓是站着的[00:03:42]

He said "This one's for Becky as he watched the last one fall[00:03:42]

看着最后一个人倒下,他说,这仅仅报了贝基的仇[00:03:47]

An I heard him say[00:03:47]

我听到他说[00:03:49]

"I promised you Dad not to do the things you've done[00:03:49]

答应我，儿子，不要走我的老路子[00:03:54]

I walk away from trouble when I can[00:03:54]

尽你所能远离麻烦[00:04:00]

Now please don't think I'm weak I didn't turn the other cheek[00:04:00]

忍气吞声不意味着你懦弱[00:04:05]

And Papa I should hope you understand[00:04:05]

我希望你能够理解这些[00:04:10]

Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man"[00:04:10]

儿子，你没必要用打架的方法来证明你是个爷们[00:04:16]

Everyone considered him the coward of the county[00:04:16]

每个人都认为他是镇上的懦夫[00:04:21]
