罗西的来信

作词人：熊霞原创

Found it folded in my saddle bag

在马鞍袋里发现折好的信纸

Paper worn and the ink run black

纸张陈旧磨损

墨迹晕成黑团

Postmarked dated near a month ago

邮戳日期距今将近一月

from a town I used to know

来自我曾经熟悉的小镇

And I start shaking as I read your name

念到你的名字

我浑身开始颤抖

I broke that old seal with a heavy hand

我沉重地拆开老旧信封

every word felt like a wandering ghost

每一字都如同漂泊的幽魂

from the girl I loved the most

来自我最深爱的姑娘

It was a letter from Rosie

这是一封罗西写的信

She asked why I left her all alone

她质问我为何丢下她孤身一人

She said nights grew cold and empty

她说长夜寒冷又空洞

the sky lost its warm tone

天空也失去了往日暖意

She waited every night by the porch light

她每夜守在门廊灯下等候

hoping I would ride back in sight

盼着我策马出现在视野里

The town folks still speak of my name

镇上的人依旧会提起我的名字

but their voices no longer feel the same

可语气早已不复从前温柔

My shadow stays on those dusty streets

我的身影仿佛还徘徊在尘土街巷

though I chose to run away in defeat

当初却是我狼狈选择远走他乡

Her old coat hangs quiet by the wooden door

她的旧外套静静挂在木门旁

horse boot marks fade across the floor

地板上的马蹄靴印慢慢淡去

She left half the bed empty for me

她始终为我留着半边床铺

each line stabs deep like broken promises I couldn’t keep

字字句句刺痛我

都是我没能兑现的诺言

She wrote she prayed I’d find my way back

她写道曾日日祈祷我回头

but life never follows our careful track

可人生从不会顺着我们规划好的路走

If I read this letter long after it sent

倘若我时隔许久才看见这封信

remember she gave me all her heart unspent

请记得她曾毫无保留地倾尽真心

I hold the faded paper in my palm

我掌心攥着泛黄褪色的信纸

the last line whispers

don’t come back for me

信的末尾轻声写道

不必再回来寻我

Church bells echo far across the plain

教堂钟声在原野远处回荡

I finally see I arrived far too late to ease her pain

我终于明白

我归来得太晚

再也无法抚平她的伤痛
