罗西的来信

歌词

作词人：熊霞原创 作曲人：熊霞原创
Found it folded in my saddle bag
在马鞍袋里发现折好的信纸
Paper worn and the ink run black
纸张陈旧磨损
墨迹晕成黑团
Postmarked dated near a month ago
邮戳日期距今将近一月
from a town I used to know
来自我曾经熟悉的小镇
And I start shaking as I read your name
念到你的名字
我浑身开始颤抖
I broke that old seal with a heavy hand
我沉重地拆开老旧信封
every word felt like a wandering ghost
每一字都如同漂泊的幽魂
from the girl I loved the most
It was a letter from Rosie
这是一封罗西写的信
She asked why I left her all alone
她质问我为何丢下她孤身一人
She said nights grew cold and empty
the sky lost its warm tone
天空也失去了往日暖意
She waited every night by the porch
 light
她每夜守在门廊灯下等候
hoping I would ride back in sight
盼着我策马出现在视野里
The town folks still speak of my name
镇上的人依旧会提起我的名字
but their voices no longer feel the same
可语气早已不复从前温柔
My shadow stays on those dusty streets
我的身影仿佛还徘徊在尘土街巷
当初却是我狼狈选择远走他乡
Her old coat hangs quiet by the wooden
 door
她的旧外套静静挂在木门旁
horse boot marks fade across the floor
地板上的马蹄靴印慢慢淡去
She left half the bed empty for me
她始终为我留着半边床铺
each line stabs deep like broken
 promises I couldn’t keep
字字句句刺痛我
都是我没能兑现的诺言
她写道曾日日祈祷我回头
but life never follows our careful track
可人生从不会顺着我们规划好的路走
If I read this letter long after it sent
倘若我时隔许久才看见这封信
remember she gave me all her heart uns
pent
I hold the faded paper in my palm
我掌心攥着泛黄褪色的信纸
the last line whispers
 don’t come back for me
信的末尾轻声写道
不必再回来寻我
Church bells echo far across the plain
教堂钟声在原野远处回荡
我终于明白
我归来得太晚
再也无法抚平她的伤痛
