whiskey lullaby
威士忌搖籃曲
歌手:Brad Paisley 佩茲利& Alison Krauss艾莉森
She put him out like the burnin'
end of a midnight cigarette
她讓愛火熄滅,就如午夜香烟燃盡
She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin'
to forget
她讓他心破碎,傷痛畢生難以釋懷
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
我們看著他,飲盡悲傷,一點一點,一滴一滴
But he never could get drunk enough
to get her off his mind
但他無法讓自己麻醉,他無法將她遺忘
Until the night
直到那個夜晚
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
他端起酒瓶飲頸而下,他對自己扣響了扳機
And finally drank away her memory
他終於將屬於她的記憶全部喝完
Life is short but this time it was bigger
生命短暫,這一次卻強大無法控制
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
他再也不能站起
We found him with his face down in the pillow
我們找到了他,他的臉深深埋進枕頭裡
With a note that said I'll love her till I die
臨別遺言,一紙短箋:我愛她直至生命結束
And when we buried him beneath the willow
我們將他下葬,合上柳木棺蓋
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby
天使們唱起了威士忌安魂曲
The rumors flew but nobody knew how much
she blamed herself
流言飛傳,可無人知曉,她心裡無限自責
For years and years she tried to hide
the whiskey on her breath
年復一年,她試圖隱藏,那已融入呼吸的威士忌味道
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
她終於飲盡悲傷,一點一點,一滴一滴
But she never could get drunk enough
to get him off her mind
但她無法讓自己麻醉,她無法將他遺忘
Until the night
直到那個夜晚
She put that bottle to her head and
pulled the trigger
她端起酒瓶飲頸而下,她對自己扣響了扳機
And finally drank away his memory
她終於將屬於他的記憶全部喝完
Life is short but this time it was bigger
生命短暫,這一次卻強大無法控制
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
她再也不能站起
We found her with her face down in the pillow
我們找到了她,她的臉深深埋進枕頭裡
Clinging to his picture for dear life
臨終陪伴,他的照片:這有愛的寶貴的一生啊
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
我們將她下葬,葬在他的身邊,合上柳木棺蓋
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby
天使們又唱起了威士忌安魂曲
