Before I die I wanna hit the Mississipi 在我死之前我想把打密西西比

In a boat I've yet to buy and take it out in the Gulf 在船上我还没有买，并把它拿出来在海湾

Where the water meets the sky 那里的水质符合天空

To where nothing on God's green earth looks dry 到了那里没有上帝的绿色地球看起来干

   

And I wanna see that stadium in New York from a right field seat 我想看看在纽约的球场从右外野座位

Maybe catch a homerun when a new all-star goes deep 也许搭上本垒打时，一个新的全明星变为深

And pretend that's Maris and Mantle pointing up at me 假装这是马里斯和地幔指着我

   

While I can still breathe 虽然我仍然能呼吸

While this old heart still has another beat 虽然这老心脏还是有另一种节拍

It's time I put some livin' to these dreams 这时候我把一些活着的这些梦想

   

Before I die, I'm gonna learn all about how man swallows pride 在我死之前，我要学习所有关于人类如何吞下骄傲

And find the strength to tell my daddy he was right 并找到力量来告诉我的爸爸，他是对的

And tell mama I'm sorry about that night 并告诉妈妈我很抱歉关于那一夜

   

Before I'm called up 之前我打电话

I wanna be the kinda man that a woman wants to love 我想是有点男人，女人要爱

And find a side of me that's a different kind of tough 并找到了我的另一面，是一种别样的坚韧

Who ain't ashamed to need the man above 谁是不以为耻需要上面的人

   

While I can still breathe 虽然我仍然能呼吸

While this old heart still has another beat 虽然这老心脏还是有另一种节拍

It's time I put some living to these dreams 这时候我把一些生活这些梦想

   

And Lord I know 而主，我知道

These are things I should have done a long time ago 这些都是我应该做很久以前

And when I close my eyes I wanna feel at ease 当我闭上双眼我想安心

And if I left right now I couldn't rest in peace 如果我离开了，现在我不能瞑目

   

While I can still breathe 虽然我仍然能呼吸

While this old heart still has another beat 虽然这老心脏还是有另一种节拍

It's time I put some livin' to these dreams 这时候我把一些活着的这些梦想

   

Before I die, I wanna hit the Mississipi in a boat I've yet to buy 在我死之前，我想打的密西西比在船上我还没有买

Take it out in the Gulf where the water meets the sky 把它拿出来在海湾里的水符合天空

To where nothing on God's green earth looks dry 到了那里没有上帝的绿色地球看起来干
