Riding With Private Malone - David Ball 以下歌词翻译由微信翻译提供 I was just out of the service 我刚退伍 Thumbing through the classifieds 浏览着分类广告 When an ad that said Old Chevy 当一个广告上写着破旧的雪佛兰 Somehow caught my eye 不知怎的引起了我的注意 The lady didn't know the year or even if it ran 这位女士不知道是哪年甚至不知道它是否运行 But I had that thousand dollars in my hand 可我手里拿着一千块 It was way back in the corner of this old ramshackle barn 那是很久以前在一个破旧谷仓的角落里 With thirty years of dust and 三十年的风风雨雨 Dirt on that green army tarp 绿色军布上沾满尘土 And when I pulled the cover off 当我打开盖子 It took away my breath 让我无法呼吸 What she called a Chevy was a sixty-six Corvette 她所谓的雪佛兰其实是66年产的雪佛兰科尔维特 And I felt a little guilty as I counted out the bills 数着账单我感觉有点罪恶 But what a thrill I got when 但当我发现 I sat behind the wheel 我坐在方向盘后面 I opened up the glove box 我打开杂物箱 And that's when I found the note 就在那时我发现了一张纸条 The date was 1966 And this is what he wrote 这就是他写的 He said My name is Private Andrew Malone 他说我是二等兵安德鲁·马龙 And if you're reading this 如果你在读这封信 Then I didn't make it home 我没有回家 But for every dream that's shattered 每一个破灭的梦想 Another one comes true 另一个梦想成真 This car was once a dream 这辆车曾是我的梦想 Of mine now it belongs to you 现在属于你 Though you may take her 尽管你可以俘获她的芳心 And make her your own 把她据为己有 You'll always be riding with Private Malone 你永远与二等兵马龙并肩战斗 Well it didn't take me long at all 我并没有花太多时间 I had her running good 我让她心满意足 I loved to hear those horses thunder 我喜欢听战马呼啸的声音 Underneath her hood 在她的地盘上 I had her shining like a diamond 我让她像钻石一样闪耀 And I put the rag top down 我放下车篷 All the pretty girls would stop 所有漂亮女孩都会停下脚步 And stare as I drove her through town 凝望着我载着她穿过小镇 The buttons on the radio 收音机的按钮 Didn't seem to work quite right 似乎不太管用 But it picked up that oldies show 但这让我想起了老歌 Especially late at night 尤其是深夜时分 I get the feeling sometimes 有时候我感觉 If I turned real quick I'd see 如果我迅速转身我会看见 A soldier riding shotgun 坐在副驾驶座上的士兵 In the seat right next to me 坐在我旁边的座位上 It was a young man named Private Andrew Malone 是一个名叫安德鲁·马龙的年轻人 Who fought for his country 他为国家而战 And never made it home 再也没有回家 But for every dream that's shattered 每一个破灭的梦想 Another one comes true 另一个梦想成真 This car was once a dream of his 这辆车曾是他的梦想 Back when it was new 回到当初 He told me to take her and make her my own 他叫我把她据为己有 And I was proud to be riding with Private Malone 我很骄傲能和二等兵马龙并肩战斗 One night 一晚 It was raining hard 雨下得很大 I took the curve too fast 我急转直下 I still don't remember much about that fiery crash 我依然记不太清楚那场激烈的车祸 But someone said they thought 但有人说他们以为 They saw a soldier pull me out 他们看见一个士兵把我救了出来 They didn't get his name 他们不知道他的名字 But I know without a doubt 但我知道毫无疑问 It was a young man named Private Andrew Malone 是一个名叫安德鲁·马龙的年轻人 Who fought for his country 他为国家而战 And never made it home 再也没有回家 But for every dream that's shattered 每一个破灭的梦想 Another one comes true 另一个梦想成真 This car was once a dream of his 这辆车曾是他的梦想 Back when it was new 回到当初 And I know I wouldn't be here
