Summer Of '69

I got my first real six-string
我真正得到属于我的第一把六弦琴
Bought it at the five-and-dime
购自路边的廉价商店
Played it till my fingers bled
弹奏它直到我的手指流血
It was the summer of '69
那是在69年的夏日
Me and some guys from school
来自校园的他们和我
Had a band and we tried real hard
费尽心血组建一个乐队
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
之后吉米退出 乔迪结婚了
I shoulda known we'd never get far
我知道我们从来不会相隔太远
Oh when I look back now
如今回顾旧史
That summer seemed to last forever
这个夏季看起来那么长 如同过了一个世纪
And if I had the choice
如果给我一次机会
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
我会选择永远留在这
Those were the best days of my life
那是我生命之中一段最美的时光

不需要解释什么
Ain't no use in complainin'
就如同你得到一份称心的工作
When you got a job to do
夜晚驱车出去
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
当我与你相遇
And that's when I met you
你站在你家门前
Standin' on your mama's porch
你告诉我你会一直等我
You told me that you'd wait forever
当你牵着我的手
Oh and when you held my hand
我知道那就是永恒
I knew that it was now or never
那是我生命之中一段最美的时光
Those were the best days of my life
那是在69年的夏日

岁月不饶人
Back in the summer of '69
我们过去那么年轻但是还是不满足
Man we were killin' time
我们必须放手
We were young and restless
我想没有什么能够永恒
We needed to unwind
时过境迁
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no
回想过去发生的一切
And now the times are changin'
有时候当我拨弄我的那把旧的六弦琴的时候
Look at everything that's come and gone
我在想我们之间到底是哪里出了错
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
你站在你家门前
I think about ya wonder what went wrong
你告诉我你会一直等我
Standin' on your mama's porch
当你牵着我的手
You told me it would last forever
我知道那就是永恒
Oh the way you held my hand
那是我生命之中一段最美的时光
I knew that it was now or never
那是在69年的夏日
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69
