For Eddie

Hed been dealt to bad hand nearly fifty years old.
他將五十歲了，卻仍被命運玩弄於股掌中
Cleaning glasses at night in a bar.
深夜的酒吧里，擦杯子的正是他
Only one good handful to play in His tunes.
他用僅存的一隻好手來演奏他的曲子
Only piano tired out and marred.
即便鋼琴已經破爛不堪
And the stone angel hung on the wall up above.
天使的石像就掛在牆上
Looked out blind all the night long.
默視著夜空的一切
But when the one armed man played to an empty saloon.
而當一個獨臂男人對著一個空酒館演奏時
She looked down and smiled as he played her his songs.
她便低下頭向他微笑，因那是為她而奏
Duke the white shepherd who guarded the room.
看守房間的白牧羊人公爵
Never leaving the back of the bar.
從不離開吧台後面
Would climb up on the stage, and curl up around his feet.
而他將爬上舞台，蜷縮在他的腳邊
As to guard him and his music from harm.
保護他和他的音樂不受傷害
And the stone angel hung on the wall up above.
天使的石像就掛在牆上
Lokked out blind all the nights know.
此時再晚的夜均不重要
But when the one armed man played to an empty saloon.
而當一個獨臂男人對著一個空酒館演奏時
She looked down and smiled as he played her his songs.
她便低下頭向他微笑，因那是為她而奏
I heard him one night when he thought to be alone.
有天晚上我聽到他說想一個人靜靜
And I lied and I did hear him a wrong.
但其實我撒謊了，我是故意誤解他的話的
I cant give back the pleasure His music game to me
我無以回報他彈奏音樂給予我的快樂
I can only give him this song.
我只能為他獻上這首歌
He played better with one hand than most men with two.
他用一隻手彈得比大多數人雙手彈都要好
Yet made posters for all of the stars.
漫天的星星都因他而亮
And I wish to my heart he could play for you.
我真心希望他能為你演奏
So youd know just how happy you are.
這樣你就知道自己有多幸福了
And the stone angel hung on the wall up above.
天使的石像就掛在牆上
And me and the big white dog.
包括我和那隻大白狗
All stop Once to listen.
我們全都專心起來
To the one armed man play
聆聽這位獨臂者的演奏
To their smiles,in an empty saloon
以及在空蕩蕩的酒館裡對著他微笑
