The Caretaker - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

I live in the cemetery ol' caretaker they call me

我住在墓地 他们叫我守墓人

In the wintertime I rake the leaves and in the summer I cut the weeds

夏天除草 冬日清扫落叶

When a funeral comes the people cry and pray

人们在葬礼上哭泣祈祷

They bury their dead and they all go away

埋葬过后墓前清冷

But through their grief I still can see their hate and greed and jealousy

但是透过悲伤仍可看到他们的贪婪，嫉妒与恨

So here I work and I somehow hide from a world that rushes by outside

所以这里是我的世外桃源

And each night when I rest my head I'm contented as the peaceful death

每晚睡下宁静地迎接死亡

But who's gonna cry when old John dies who's gonna cry when old John dies

但是老约翰死后谁人为之哭泣

Once I was a young man dashing with the girls

我也曾风流倜傥

Now no one wants an old man I lost my handsome curls

容颜不再，老人被遗弃

But I wanna say when my time comes lay me facing the rising sun

但是我会说在面朝太阳时

Put me in the corner where where I buried my pup

请给我一隅之地

Tell the preacher to pray then cover me up

告知牧师掩藏我身

Don't lay flowers where my head should be maybe God let some grow for me

不需花束 也许上帝会让之为我绽放

And all the little children that I love like my own

我所有亲爱的孩子们

Will they be sorry that old John's gone

他们是否会为老约翰的离去悲伤

Who's gonna cry when old John dies who's gonna cry when old John dies

老约翰死后谁人为之哭泣
