Whiskey Lullaby
She put him out
她将他随手掐灭
Like the burning end of a midnight cigarette
如同午夜里燃尽的余烬残烟
She broke his heart
她伤透了他的心
He spent his whole life trying to forget
他穷尽一生,试图遗忘
We watched him drink his pain away
我们看着他用烈酒埋葬痛苦
A little at a time
一点一点,任其蚕食
But he never could get drunk enough
可他无论如何沉醉
To get her off his mind
也无法将她的身影从脑海抹去
Until the night
直到那个夜晚
He put that bottle to his head
他将酒瓶抵住额头
And pulled the trigger
扣动了扳机
And finally drank away her memory
终在酒液中葬下了关于她的记忆
Life is short but this time it was bigger
人生苦短,可这一次痛苦的重量
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
远非他能挣脱泥淖的力气所能承载
We found him with his face down in the pillow
我们发现他时,他脸朝下伏在枕里
With a note that said I'll love her till I die
留下的字条写着:我将爱她直至死亡
And when we buried him beneath the willow
当我们把他安葬在垂柳之下
The angels sang a whiskey lullabye
天使们唱起了一曲威士忌摇篮曲
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
The room was full
屋内挤满了人
But nobody knew how much she blamed herself
却无人知晓她内心那噬骨的自责
For years and years
年复一年
She tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
她试图掩盖呼吸里那散不去的酒气
She finally drank her pain away
她终也用烈酒埋葬了痛苦
A little at a time
一点一点,任其蚕食
But she never could get drunk enough
可她无论如何沉醉
To get him off her mind
也无法将他的身影从脑海抹去
Until the night
直到那个夜晚
She put that bottle to her head
她将酒瓶抵住额头
And pulled the trigger
扣动了扳机
And finally drank away his memory
终在酒液中葬下了关于他的记忆
Life is short but this time it was bigger
人生苦短,可这一次痛苦的重量
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
远非她能挣脱泥淖的力气所能承载
We found her with her face down in the pillow
我们发现她时,她脸朝下伏在枕里
Clinging to his picture for dear life
死死抓着他的照片,像是抓着救命稻草
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
我们将她葬在他身旁,在那垂柳之下
While the angels sang a whiskey lullabye
天使们唱起了一曲威士忌摇篮曲
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
