以下歌词翻译由微信翻译提供

I left Decatur helping to forget her

我离开迪凯特试图忘记她

Bought a ticket to Skowhegan Maine

买了一张去缅因州的机票

I wound up in Seattle too drunk and too rattled

我在西雅图醉得不省人事心烦意乱

To know that I caught the wrong train

知道我搭错了火车

I met some fast easy women

我遇到了一些心狠手辣的女人

And some hard drinking men

和几个嗜酒如命的男人

Trying to drown the sorrow in me

试图借酒浇愁

I once had a lot but the future is not

我曾经拥有很多但未来不是

Not what it used to be

已经不是从前的模样

The years they went by and I went steadily down

时间一年一年地流逝我的心情一点一点地低落

'Til I had no place to go

直到我无处可去

Made the soup lines by morning

到了早上我就开始做汤了

And the dives every night

每天晚上都会潜水

Wrecking my body and soul

让我身心俱疲

And then I met a lady and in time she made me forget

后来我遇到一位女士她让我忘记了过去

Yes her love set me free

没错她的爱给了我自由

We ain't got a lot but the future is not

我们拥有的不多但未来并不乐观

Not what it used to be

已经不是从前的模样

Oh I never thought I could live to get over

我从未想过我可以安然度过

For the past cut a hole deep in me

为了过去在我身上留下深深的伤痕

But now there's a chance I'll be here a while longer

但现在我可能会在这里多待一段时间

At least now I wanna be

至少现在我想

Somebody told me that you were in town

有人告诉我你在城里

I found out today

今天我发现

And you know that I'm sorry to hear that you're down

你知道我很难过听到你难过的消息

But what can I say

但我能说什么

That I know your sorrow and I know your pain

我了解你的悲伤我知道你的痛苦

Don't you know I know your need

你知道吗我知道你的需要

'Cos I want to love you a lot but the future is not

因为我想爱你很多但未来不是

Not what it used to be

已经不是从前的模样
