Lyrics by：Daniel Theuri Ngatheka

Composed by：Daniel Theuri Ngatheka

Daddy worked that field

父亲在这片土地上辛勤耕耘

Till the daylight quit

直到天光隐退

Same old truck

还是那辆旧卡车

Yeah he never traded it

是啊，他从未更换过它

Said son this land ain't riches of fame

他说孩子，这片土地不是虚名浮利

It's the way you walk and the way to your name

而是你走过的路 和你赢得的声名

Mama kept the table with the chair for all

母亲总为每个人在餐桌旁留一席位

Even when the cupboard felt mighty small

即便橱柜里已所剩无几

She said give what you can

她说尽你所能给予

Don't count the cost

不必计较代价

What you give away ain't ever lost

你所给予的永远不会消失

I ain't got much to write in a will

我没什么可写在遗嘱里

Just a worn down house on a red clay hill

只有红土山上一间破旧房子

But if they speak of me when I'm gone

但如果我走后他们提起我

Say I did my best and I stood my ground

就说我已竭尽全力 坚守立场

Didn't leave silver didn't leave shine

未留下璀璨银光 也未留下耀眼辉煌

Just a little good in the lives I find

只在众生心间播撒星火微光

That's enough for me to know I tried

这足以让我知晓 我曾努力过

That's my kind of leaving behind

这便是我所愿留下的印记

I've seen men chase what they can't hold

我曾见世人追逐虚无缥缈

End up with a heart turned hard and cold

最终只剩一颗冰封的心

I'd rather be known for the love I gave

我宁愿因曾付出的爱而被铭记

Than a stone with a number carved on a grave

而非坟茔上刻着编号的冰冷石碑

I ain't got much to write in a will

我没什么可写在遗嘱里

Just a quiet place on a red clay hill

只在红土山坡上有个安静角落

But if they speak of me when I'm gone

但如果我走后他们提起我

Say I carried right when the road got alone

请告诉他们我独行时依然正直

Didn't leave silver didn't leave shine

未留下璀璨银光 也未留下耀眼辉煌

Just a little good in the lives I find

只在众生心间播撒星火微光

That's enough for me to know I tried

这足以让我知晓 我曾努力过

That's my kind of leaving behind

这便是我所愿留下的印记
