The Ballad of Billy the Kid
From a town known as Wheeling, West Virginia,
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Rode a boy with a six-gun in his hand,
And his daring life of crime,
他那胆大妄为的犯罪生涯
Made him a legend in his time,
使他成为当世传奇
East and west of the Rio Grande,
在里奥格兰德东西两岸流传
Well, he started with a bank in Colorado,
他从科罗拉多的银行劫案开始
In the pocket of his vest, a Colt he hid,
马甲内藏着一把柯尔特左轮
And his age and his size,
他的年纪和身形
Took the teller by surprise,
令出纳员猝不及防
And the word spread of Billy the Kid,
比利小子的威名就此传开
Well, he never traveled heavy,
他向来轻装简行
Yes, he always rode alone,
总是独来独往
And he soon put many older guns to shame,
很快让众多老枪手黯然失色
And he never had a sweetheart,
他从未有过心上人
And he never had a home,
也未曾拥有归宿
But the cowboy and the rancher knew his name,
但牛仔与牧场主都知晓他的名号
Well, he robbed his way from Utah to Oklahoma,
从犹他州劫掠至俄克拉荷马
And the law just could not seem to track him down,
执法者始终难觅其踪
And it served his legend well,
这传奇事迹广为流传
For the folks, they'd love to tell,
人们总爱津津乐道
'Bout when Billy the Kid came to town,
讲述比利小子来到镇上的故事
Well, one cold day a posse captured Billy,
直到某个寒日 比利终被擒获
And the judge said, \"String 'im up for what he did!\",
法官宣判:\"绞刑伺候他的罪行!\"
And the cowboys and their kin,
牛仔们携亲带友
Like the sea came pourin' in,
如潮水般涌来
To watch the hangin' of Billy the Kid,
围观比利小子的绞刑
Well, he never traveled heavy,
他向来轻装简行
Yes, he always rode alone,
总是独来独往
And he soon put many older guns to shame,
很快让众多老枪手黯然失色
And he never had a sweetheart,
他从未有过心上人
But he finally found a home,
但最终寻得归宿
Underneath the boothill grave that bears his name,
在刻着他名字的布斯山墓下长眠
From a town known as Oyster Bay, Long Island,
从长岛牡蛎湾小镇出发
Rode a boy with a six-pack in his hand,
少年手持六发左轮纵马而来
And his daring life of crime,
他那胆大妄为的犯罪生涯
Made him a legend in his time,
使他成为当世传奇
East and west of the Rio Grande。
在格兰德河东西两岸流传
