| The river Bruce Springsteen I come from down in the valley Where mister when you're young They bring you up to do like your daddy done Me and Mary we met in high school When she was just seventeen We'd ride out of that valley down to where the fields were green We'd go down to the river And into the river we'd dive Oh down to the river we'd ride Then I got Mary pregnant And man that was all she wrote And for my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat We went down to the courthouse And the judge put it all to rest No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle No flowers no wedding dress That night we went down to the river And into the river we'd dive Oh down to the river we did ride I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy Now all them things that seemed so important Well mister they vanished right into the air Now I just act like I don't remember Mary acts like she don't care But I remember us riding in my brother's car Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir At night on them banks I'd lie awake And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take Now those memories come back to haunt me they haunt me like a curse Is a dream a lie if it don't come true Or is it something worse That sends me down to the river Though I know the river is dry That sends me down to the river tonight Down to the river my baby and I Oh down to the river we ride |
河 流 布魯斯史賓斯汀 我來自山谷裏的丘陵草原 先生，當時你還很小 他們養育你，讓你去做你爸爸做過的事 我和瑪麗在中學認識 當時她只有十七歲 我們乘車離開那山谷，下去一處滿是綠油油田野的地方 我們去到河邊 然後在河裏，我們潛水 啊！我們乘車去到河邊 然後，我使瑪麗懷孕 老兄，這就是結局了 在我十九歲生日 我得到了一張工會會員證和一套結婚禮服 我們去到法院 那法官把一切都擱置 沒有婚禮日的微笑，沒有走過紅地毯 沒有花，也沒有婚紗 那夜我們去到河邊 然後在河裏，我們潛水 啊！我們乘車去到河邊 我在約翰城公司找到一份建築的工作 但因為經濟蕭條的緣故，工作不及以前多了 現在，全部那些從前看似很重要的事 嗯，先生，它們消失得無影無蹤 現在我只裝作我記不起 瑪麗裝作她不在乎 但我記得我們駕駛我哥哥的車 就在蓄水池，她曬成古銅色的身軀濕透了 在夜裏，在那些河岸之上我清醒地躺臥著 而且把她拉近至可以感到她的每一次呼氣 現在那些記憶回來纏擾我 它們像詛咒般纏擾著我 一個夢想假如不能實現，是否只是個謊言？ 或是一些更壞的東西？ 那送我去到河邊 雖然我知道河流已經乾涸 今晚，那送我去到河邊 去到河邊 我的寶貝和我 啊！我們乘車去到河邊 |
