歌词
As I walked out on the streets of Laredo.
当我走在拉雷多的街道上
As I walked out on Laredo one day,
那天我走在拉雷多的街道上
I spied a poor cowboy wrapped in white linen,
我瞧见一位衣衫褴褛的贫穷牛仔
]Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay.
]他单薄的白麻衣看起来寒若冻土
'I can see by your outfit that you are a cowboy.'’ “
嘿，瞧你穿的，我敢说你也是个牛仔”
These words he did say as I boldly walked by.
他对冒失走过的我说到
'Come an' sit down beside me an' hear my sad story.“
过来坐坐，听我讲讲我悲伤的故事”
'I'm shot in the breast an' I know I must die.'“
有一颗子弹射中我的胸膛，我明晓我活不了”
'It was once in the saddle, I used to go dashing.“
我也才曾雄赳赳地驰骋在马背上”
'Once in the saddle, I used to go gay.“
那驰骋在马背上的日子我是多么逍遥”
'First to the card-house and then down to Rose's.“
那时我先去赌场再去找姑娘”
'But I'm shot in the breast and I'm dying today.'“
可如今有一颗子弹在我胸膛，今日是我将死之日。”
'Get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin.“
帮我找六个可爱的牛仔抬我的棺材吧”
'Six dance-hall maidens to bear up my pall.“
再来六个美丽的舞女托我的棺罩”
'Throw bunches of roses all over my coffin.“
哦，记得在我的棺材上铺满玫瑰”
'Roses to deaden the clods as they fall.'“
一起埋葬的玫瑰回归于土壤”
'Then beat the drum slowly, play the Fife lowly.“
然后慢慢敲着鼓，缓缓吹着笛”
'Take me to the green valley, lay the sod o'er me,“
让葬礼进行着让我不再孤独”
'I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong.'“
带把我葬在绿色的山谷，让青草覆盖我的坟头”
'Then go write a letter to my grey-haired mother,“
我是一位英年早逝的牛仔，如今知道了自己的过错。”
'An' tell her the cowboy that she loved has gone.“
替我向我上了年纪的母亲写封信”
'But please not one word of the man who had killed me.“
转告她她疼爱的牛仔永远离开了”
'Don't mention his name and his name will pass on.“
但不要有一字提到那个杀死我的人”
When thus he had spoken, the hot sun was setting.
不要让他的名字有流传的荣誉，让他的名字如尘土般消失。”
The streets of Laredo grew cold as the clay.
当他说完，太阳落山
We took the young cowboy down to the green valley,
拉雷多的街道又冷如冻土
And there stands his marker, we made, to this day.
我们把英年早逝的牛仔葬在了绿色的山谷
We beat the drum slowly and played the Fife lowly,
山谷里立起今日我们为他刻的墓碑
Played the dead march as we carried him along.
我们慢慢敲着鼓，缓缓吹着笛
Down in the green valley, laid the sod o'er him.
进行着葬礼让他不再孤独
He was a young cowboy and he said he'd done wrong.
在绿色的山谷里，青草会覆盖他的坟头
