The Town I Loved So Well
The Town I Loved So Well - Phil Coulter (菲尔·柯尔特)
In my memories
在我的记忆中
I will always see
我总会回想起
The town that I have loved so well
我深爱着的小镇
Where our school played ball
我们在学校旧的加油场的墙上
By the old gas yard wall
打球
And we laughed through the smoke and the smell
在烟雾笼罩中开怀大笑
Going home in the rain running up the dark lane
冒着雨回家 奔跑在漆黑的车道上
Past the jail and down behind the Fountain
经过监狱 沿着喷泉向后跑去
Those were happy days in so many many ways
度过了快乐的时光
In the town I loved so well
在深爱着的小镇里
In the early morning
在清晨
The shirt factory horn
衬衣制造厂吹响号角
Called women from Creggan
召唤来自克雷根的女人
The moor and the bog
摩尔人和沼泽区的人
Whilst the men on the dole
而失业的男人
Played a mother's role
则扮演起了女人的角色
Fed the children and then walked the dog
喂完孩子就要去遛狗
And when times got tough there was just about enough
当日子变得艰难时 他们那样就已满足
And they saw it through without complaining
他们对此毫无怨言
For deep inside was a burning pride
因为他们内心深处 也是有尊严的
In the town I loved so well
在我深爱着的小镇上
There was music there in that Derry air
德里的上空回荡着音乐
Like a language that we all could understand
就像是我们都能听懂的语言一样
I remember the day that I earned my first pay
我记得赚到第一笔工资的那一天
When I played in a small pick-up band
我在一个临时拼凑的乐队里演奏
There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth
用我的青春告诉你们这个事实
I was sad to leave it all behind me
离开这里 让我伤心不已
For I learned about life
因为我懂得了生活的真谛
And I found a wife
我找了个妻子
In the town I loved so well
在我深爱着的小镇上
But when I returned how my eyes have burned
但当我回来时 眼里的泪水不止
To see how a town could be brought to it's knees
看到小镇
By the armoured cars and the bombed-out bars
被小轿车和人满为患的酒吧所侵占
And the gas that hangs on to every breeze
各种气味在空气中蔓延
Now the army's installed by that old gas yard wall
现在军队驻扎在那堵墙里
And the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher
令人憎恶的铁丝网修得越来越高
With their tanks and their guns
他们开着坦克拿着枪
Oh my god what have they done
上帝啊 他们对我深爱着的小镇
To the town I loved so well
做了什么
Now the music's gone
现在音乐声没了
But they still carry on
但他们仍在
For their spirits been bruised never broken
因为他们的精神永不灭
They will not forget
他们不会忘记
That their hearts are set
他们的心仍会
On tomorrow and peace once again
在明天继续歌唱
For what's done is done and what's won is won
因为要做的已经做了 赢了的已经赢了
And what's lost is lost and gone forever
失去的永远都不会再回来
I can only pray for a bright brand new day
我只能祈求一个明亮崭新的未来
In the town I loved so well
在我深爱着的小镇上
