Old Violin

作词 : Johnny Paycheck
 作曲 : Johnny Paycheck
 Well, I can't recall, one time in my life,
I've felt as lonely  as I do tonight.
I feel like I could lay down, and get up no more,
It's the damndest feelin'; I never felt it before.
Tonight I feel  like an old violin,
Soon to be put away  and never played again.
Don't ask me why I feel like this, hell, I can't say.
I only wish this feelin'  would just go away.
I guess it's 'cos the truth,
Is the hardest thing I ever faced.
'Cos you  can't  change the truth,
In the slightest way. I tried.
So I asked myself,
I said: 'John, where'd  you go from here?'
Then like a damned fool,
I turned around  and looked in the mirror.
And there I saw, an old violin.
Soon to be put away  and never played again.
So one more time, just to be sure,
I said: 'John, where  in the hell do you go from here?'
You know that when a nickel's worth of difference,
And I looked in the mirror, that's when I knew.
That there I was seein', an  old violin.
Soon to be put away, and never played again.
And just like that, it hit me,
That old violin and I were just alike.
We'd give our all to music,
And soon, we'd give our life.

[00:00.00] Well, I can't recall, one time in my life,
[00:23.07]I've felt as lonely  as I do tonight.
[00:31.47]I feel like I could lay down, and get up no more,
[00:40.08]It's the damndest feelin'; I never felt it before.
[00:58.86]Tonight I feel  like an old violin,
[01:07.35]Soon to be put away  and never played again.
[01:15.60]Don't ask me why I feel like this, hell, I can't say.
[01:24.00]I only wish this feelin'  would just go away.
[01:32.31]I guess it's 'cos the truth,
[01:35.37]Is the hardest thing I ever faced.
[01:38.91]'Cos you  can't  change the truth,
[01:45.78]In the slightest way. I tried.
[01:59.52]So I asked myself,
[02:00.75]I said: 'John, where'd  you go from here?'
[02:09.90]Then like a damned fool,
[02:11.37]I turned around  and looked in the mirror.
[02:16.47]And there I saw, an old violin.
[02:24.90]Soon to be put away  and never played again.
[02:33.57]So one more time, just to be sure,
[02:37.89]I said: 'John, where  in the hell do you go from here?'
[02:43.95]You know that when a nickel's worth of difference,
[02:46.98]And I looked in the mirror, that's when I knew.
[02:50.16]That there I was seein', an  old violin.
[02:58.41]Soon to be put away, and never played again.
[03:06.57]And just like that, it hit me,
[03:11.70]That old violin and I were just alike.
[03:15.66]We'd give our all to music,
[03:17.43]And soon, we'd give our life.

嗯，我想不起来了，在我生命中从来没有，
能像今晚这样让我感到如此孤独。
我觉得自己仿佛可以躺下去，然后再也无法起身，
这是最糟糕的感觉，我以前从未有过这样的感受。
今晚，我觉得自己就像一把老旧的小提琴，
很快就会被束之高阁，再也无人弹奏。
别问我为什么会有这种感觉，该死，我也说不上来。
我只希望这种感觉能赶快消失。
我想大概是因为，
真相是我所面对过的最残酷的事情。
因为你根本无法改变真相，
哪怕是最细微的一点。我试过了。
于是我问自己，
我说：“约翰，你接下来该何去何从？”
然后，我像个十足的傻瓜，
转过身去，看向镜子。
在镜子里，我看到了一把老旧的小提琴。
很快就会被束之高阁，再也无人弹奏。
所以，我又一次，为了确认，
我说：“约翰，你到底该从这儿走向何方？”
你知道的，当那难以觉察的变化出现时，
我看向镜子，就在那时我明白了。
我看到的，是一把老旧的小提琴。
很快就会被束之高阁，再也无人弹奏。
就在那一刻，我突然意识到，
那把老旧的小提琴和我是如此相像。
我们曾为音乐付出一切，
而很快，我们也将付出自己的生命。
