Summer Of '69

I got my first real six-string
我真正得到屬於我的第一把六弦琴
Bought it at the five-and-dime
購自路邊的廉價商店
Played it till my fingers bled
彈奏它直到我的手指流血
It was the summer of '69
那是在69年的夏日
Me and some guys from school
來自校園的他們和我
Had a band and we tried real hard
費盡心血組建一個樂隊
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
之後吉米退出喬迪結婚了
I shoulda known we'd never get far
我知道我們從來不會相隔太遠
Oh when I look back now
如今回顧舊史
That summer seemed to last forever
這個夏季看起來那麼長如同過了一個世紀
And if I had the choice
如果給我一次機會
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
我會選擇永遠留在這
Those were the best days of my life
那是我生命之中一段最美的時光

不需要解釋什麼
Ain't no use in complainin'
就如同你得到一份稱心的工作
When you got a job to do
夜晚驅車出去
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
當我與你相遇
And that's when I met you
你站在你家門前
Standin' on your mama's porch
你告訴我你會一直等我
You told me that you'd wait forever
當你牽著我的手
Oh and when you held my hand
我知道那就是永恆
I knew that it was now or never
那是我生命之中一段最美的時光
Those were the best days of my life
那是在69年的夏日

歲月不饒人
Back in the summer of '69
我們過去那麼年輕但是還是不滿足
Man we were killin' time
我們必須放手
We were young and restless
我想沒有什麼能夠永恆
We needed to unwind
時過境遷
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no
回想過去發生的一切
And now the times are changin'
有時候當我撥弄我的那把舊的六弦琴的時候
Look at everything that's come and gone
我在想我們之間到底是哪裡出了錯
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
你站在你家門前
I think about ya wonder what went wrong
你告訴我你會一直等我
Standin' on your mama's porch
當你牽著我的手
You told me it would last forever
我知道那就是永恆
Oh the way you held my hand
那是我生命之中一段最美的時光
I knew that it was now or never
那是在69年的夏日
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69
