- Bruce Springsteen - the river
I come from down in the valley
我来自河流下游的山谷
Where mister when you're young
先生 那时你还很年轻
他们将你抚养长大 让你子承父业
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
我和Mary相识于高中时期
那时她仅仅十七岁
Me and Mary, we met in high school
我们驾车驶出山谷，去往一片葱郁的田野
When she was just seventeen
我们顺河流而下
又潜入河底
We'd drive outta this valley down to where the fields were green
我们顺河流而下
然后我让Mary怀孕了
We'd go down to the river
老兄，她的故事也就到此为止了
And into the river we'd dive
在我十九岁生日那天 我得到了一张工会成员卡和一件婚礼西服
Oh, down to the river we'd ride
我和她去了市政厅
公证员却把我们的婚礼申请丢到一边
Then I got Mary pregnant
没有婚礼上的笑颜，没能携手步过红毯
没有鲜花，也没有婚纱
And man, that was all she wrote
但那个夜晚我们沿河流而下
And for my 19th birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
又潜入河底
我们沿河流而下
We went down to the courthouse
我得到了一份建筑工的工作，在Johnstown公司
And the judge put it all to rest
但很快我就失业了，因为公司账目上的原因
现在那些曾经看起来那么重要的事
No wedding day smiles, no walk down the aisle
都已经随风飘散
No flowers, no wedding dress
现在我只能假装我都已经忘却
That night we'd go down to the river
而Mary也假装她从未在意
And into the river we'd dive
但我记得我们开着我哥哥的车
Oh down to the river we'd ride
河岸上，她黧黑的身体又被水打湿
那个夜晚我躺在河岸上
I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
把她拉近，感受着她唇齿间的呼吸
现在那些回忆时常纠缠着我
But lately there ain't been much work, on account of the economy
它们如咒语一般在我心间萦绕
不能实现的梦想就是谎言吗
Now all them things that seemed so important
或者比谎言更糟
这一切将我又送回河边
Well mister they vanished right into the air
尽管我知道那河流早已干涸
它将我送回河边 就在今夜
Now I just act like I don't remember
回到河边
Mary acts like she don't care
只有我们二人
我们沿河流而下
But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
They haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse,
That sends me down to the river
Though I know the river is dry
That sends me down to the river tonight
Down to the river
My baby and I
Oh down to the river we ride...
