歌词
It was two shades of brown and scratched up plastic.
它是两种深浅不一的棕色,上面有划痕的塑料盒
It held extra line, lures, hooks, and matches.
里面有额外的鱼线、鱼饵、鱼钩和火柴
With his last name engraved in brass,
他的姓刻在黄铜上
Right there by the handle on the top.
就在上面的把手那儿
I'd slide it out of the back of his station wagon.
我会把它从他的旅行车后面滑出来
Lug it down the bank with my arm draggin'.
用我的胳膊把它拖下河岸
I could hardly wait for him
我几乎等不及了
To lift the lid on that tackle box.
把那工具箱的盖子打开
Cause I'd sail with him across the South Pacific.
我会和他一起航行穿过南太平洋
Stand beside him on the bow of that battle ship.
站在他旁边,站在那艘战舰的船头上
See him kiss the ground and thank the Good Lord Jesus.
看他亲吻大地,感谢仁慈的主耶稣
And watch him run to Grandma, cryin' on the dock.
看着他跑向奶奶,在码头上哭泣
He opened up, every time he opened up
他每次敞开心扉
That ole tackle box.
都会打开那个工具箱
He'd bait my hook and keep on tellin' stories
他会给我的鱼钩上饵,然后继续讲故事
About nickel Cokes, girls, and sandlot glories.
关于五分镍币可乐、姑娘们和沙洲荣耀
Pickup trucks and golden fields
皮卡和金色的田野的故事
Long before this town knew blacktop.
早在这个小镇铺上柏油路之前
I was almost ridin' with him shotgun down those dirt roads
我就和他一起拿着猎枪在那些土路上飞驰
Takin' turns on a jug of homemade shine
喝着自制的酒
他和他的伙伴们一路疾驰而过
As he raced his buddies down through Mason Holler
满天都是尘土和扬起的岩石
Fillin' the sky with dust and kicked up rocks
他每次敞开心扉
He opened up every time he opened up
都会打开那个工具箱
That ole tackle box.
明天他就走了二十年了
He's been gone twenty years tomorrow
但我还在坚持最后一个愿望
But I'm still holdin' on to one more wish
上帝让我再借爷爷一次吧
That God above would let be borrow Grandpa
再次回到那个下午,再钓一次鱼
For one more afternoon and one more fish.
因为我要和他一起穿越南太平洋
Cause I'd sail with across the South Pacific.
站在他旁边,站在那艘战舰的船头上
Stand beside him on the bow of that battle ship.
看他亲吻大地,感谢仁慈的主耶稣
See him kiss the ground and thank the Good Lord Jesus.
看着他跑向奶奶,在码头上哭泣
And watch him run to Grandma, cryin' on the dock.
他每次敞开心扉
He opened up, every time he opened up
都会打开那个工具箱
That ole tackle box.
所有他喜欢的东西,他都锁起来
Everything he loved, he kept locked up
在那个旧工具箱里
In that ole tackle box.
它是两种深浅不一的棕色,上面有划痕的塑料盒
It was two shades of brown and scratched up plastic.
