Daddy worked that field
父亲在这片土地上辛勤耕耘
Till the daylight quit
直到天光隐退
Same old truck
还是那辆旧卡车
Yeah he never traded it
是啊，他从未更换过它
Said son this land ain't riches of fame
他说孩子，这片土地不是虚名浮利
It's the way you walk and the way to your name
而是你走过的路 和你赢得的声名
Mama kept the table with the chair for all
母亲总为每个人在餐桌旁留一席位
Even when the cupboard felt mighty small
即便橱柜里已所剩无几
She said give what you can
她说尽你所能给予
Don't count the cost
不必计较代价
What you give away ain't ever lost
你所给予的永远不会消失
I ain't got much to write in a will
我没什么可写在遗嘱里
Just a worn down house on a red clay hill
只有红土山上一间破旧房子
But if they speak of me when I'm gone
但如果我走后他们提起我
Say I did my best and I stood my ground
就说我已竭尽全力 坚守立场
Didn't leave silver didn't leave shine
未留下璀璨银光 也未留下耀眼辉煌
Just a little good in the lives I find
只在众生心间播撒星火微光
That's enough for me to know I tried
这足以让我知晓 我曾努力过
That's my kind of leaving behind
这便是我所愿留下的印记
I've seen men chase what they can't hold
我曾见世人追逐虚无缥缈
End up with a heart turned hard and cold
最终只剩一颗冰封的心
I'd rather be known for the love I gave
我宁愿因曾付出的爱而被铭记
Than a stone with a number carved on a grave
而非坟茔上刻着编号的冰冷石碑
I ain't got much to write in a will
我没什么可写在遗嘱里
Just a quiet place on a red clay hill
只在红土山坡上有个安静角落
But if they speak of me when I'm gone
但如果我走后他们提起我
Say I carried right when the road got alone
请告诉他们我独行时依然正直
Didn't leave silver didn't leave shine
未留下璀璨银光 也未留下耀眼辉煌
Just a little good in the lives I find
只在众生心间播撒星火微光
That's enough for me to know I tried
这足以让我知晓 我曾努力过
That's my kind of leaving behind
这便是我所愿留下的印记
