Heading South On the Great North Road

Many have gone before us now,
那些走在我們身前的人啊，開闢了道路
Many have tried and failed somehow,
他們拼搏過，也失敗過
Many a soul on the Queens highway,
那些皇后高速路上的遊子啊
Where many a tail light glowed,
閃爍的尾燈，為他們指引方向
With the promise of a better life,
帶著對未來的憧憬和希冀
Heading South on the Great North Road,
他們沿著大北路南下
South on the Great North Road.
一路向南……

一路前行，身後是無盡的黑暗
Only the dark we left behind,
前路漫漫，眼前是展開的征途
Will chase us as the road unwinds,
視野之外，也許他們不曾記得
But out of sight is out of mind,
曾經的那些虧欠
With many a debt still owed,
帶著對嶄新生活的渴望
And the promise of a different life…
沿著大北路南下
Heading South on the Great North Road,
一路向南……
South on the Great North Road.
那些迷途的狗啊

舔舐著命運留下的殘渣
Many a dog went wandering,
那些離群歸家的狗
To sup on fortunes dregs,
則是疲憊不堪
And many a dog came straggling home,
那些籠中的倦鳥啊，展開了雙翅
His tail between his sorry legs.
那些絕望的鳥，無助地發出悲鳴
Many a caged bird spread his wings,
鳴鳥迷失了方向
Many a vain bird crowed,
沿著大北路南下
And many a songbird lost her way,
一路向南……
Heading South on the Great North Road,
一批批人騎著馬
South on the Great North Road.
拖著斑駁的馬車

每當車慢下來
Many a band of brothers rode,
便又多了許多未知的裝載
In many a painted wagon,
包括許多旅行者的詛咒
Many an unsecured load,
也無法阻止他們沿著大北路南下
Whenever a climbing truck was slowed,
一路向南……
There was many a travelers curse bestowed,
在運輸油勺的車上
Heading South on the Great North Road,
度過的那些無所事事的午後
South on the Great North Road.
芳心暗許的少女

為她們送上許多禮物
Many a transport greasy spoon,
但愛情是旅者的束縛
Many a wasted afternoon,
他們沿著大北路南下
Where many a maiden gave her heart,
一路向南……
And many a gift bestowed,
如果有一天，我們回到家鄉
But a gift is a yoke to a traveling man,
會和你們講述我們的故事
Heading South on the Great North Road,
那些求而不得的際遇，那些錯失的機會
South on the Great North Road.
還有失去的財富

我們會卸下所有的記憶
If we get back home, well tell our tales
還記得種過的野燕麥
To all of those wholl listen,
還記得跨過的許多障礙
The might have beens, the chances lost,
故事就像杯子裝滿水，緩緩溢出
The monies that went missing...
帶著對未來的期許
All the memories well unload,
我們沿著大北路南下
The wild oats that well claim wed sowed,
一路向南……
The stages where we proudly strode,
As if our cups had over flowed,
With the promise of a different life…
Heading South on the Great North Road,
South on the Great North Road.
