Road Too Long By Allan Taylor
路漫长--艾伦·泰勒
It was a long time coming but plain to see
很长一段时间了,但是显而易见
When I held his shaking hand, he couldn't look at me
当我握着他颤抖的手,他并没有看着我
He said something about losing, losing the will to go on
他说些关于失败的话,失败将继续
He looked off into the distance, I knew his mind had gone
他转开视线看着远方,我知道他的心已经走了
He lights a candle, it has a soft kind of glow
他点燃一支蜡烛,它有种柔和的光芒
He's scared of the dark but he won't let nobody know
他因为黑暗而恐惧,但他不会让任何人知道
Cause when the midnight demons are creeping through the night
因为当子夜的魔鬼爬过夜晚
He knows they'll get to him when he's run out of fight
他知道他们靠近他,当他用尽斗志
Was it trying to get it right that made it wrong
这是努力明白曾做错的
Or was it just a road that went on way too long
或者这只是一条路,走了太漫长的时间
Too long, too long, too long
太漫长,太漫长,太漫长。
He searches for words, but the words disappear
他找寻词语,但词语都消失了
He talks so quietly, you move closer to hear
他静静地说话,你得靠近才能听见
He's looking for answers but you don't know what to say
他寻找答案,但你不知道该说什么
Just help him through the night into another day
只能帮助他整夜直到新的一天来临
He's falling over the edge of the abyss
他跌落至深渊的边缘
Holding on and reaching out and hoping he won't miss
坚持着、伸出手并希望他不会失去
I say "Grab a hold of something, something beautiful and true, someday the world is going to smile for you"
我说:“握住一些可以握住的东西,一些美丽的或者真实的东西,有一天世界将会为你而微笑”。
Was it trying to get it right that made it wrong
这是努力明白曾做错的
Or was it just a road that went on way too long
或者这只是一条路,走了太漫长的时间
Too long, too long, too long
太漫长,太漫长,太漫长。
