The night is growing dark 夜越来越深

From somewhere deep within 从内心深处的某个地方

It shelters like an ark 它庇护像方舟

That always takes you in 总是需要你在

   

The barmaid walks on over 招待员在散步

And pours another round 而盆满钵满又一轮

For a lost soul at the corner 对于一个失去了灵魂的角落

Who prays he's never found 谁祈祷，他从来没有发现

   

And the mind goes numb 和心灵去麻木

Until it's feeling no pain 直到它的感觉不痛

And the soul cries out 和灵魂呼喊

For a handful of rain 对于极少数的雨

   

Wash your women 洗你的女人

In your Whiskey 在你的威士忌

When your future's 当你未来的

In the past 以往

And your staring 和你的凝望

Up at heaven 最多在天

From the bottom 从底部

Of a glass 一杯

And you need some insulation 你需要一定的保温

From the years you've 从已多年

Had and lost 过而失去

And you feel the perspiration 你觉得排汗

As you're adding up the cost 当你添加了成本

   

And the night rolls on 而晚上就滚

Like a slow moving train 就像一个缓慢移动的火车

And the soul cries out 和灵魂呼喊

   

There's a land beyond the living 有超越生活之地

There's a land beyond the dead 有超越死亡之地

If it's true that God's forgiving 如果这是真的，上帝的宽恕

Of the lives that we had led 我们曾经带领生活

In the distance there's a thunder 远处有一个惊雷

And the air is thick and warm 而空气中弥漫和温暖

And the patrons watch with wonder 而食客观赏惊叹

The approaching of the storm 风暴将至

   

And the night rolls on 而晚上就滚

Like a slow moving train 就像一个缓慢移动的火车

And the soul cries out 和灵魂呼喊

For a handful of rain 对于极少数的雨

   

There's an old man in the corner 有一位老人在角落

And he's smoking all the time 而且他抽烟的所有时间

An the smoke is drifting upward and it's 一个烟是向上漂移，它的

Twisting in my 扭在我

Twisting in my 扭在我

Mind 心灵

In my mind 在我的脑海

   

The whiskey's getting deeper 威士忌的越来越深

And I use it like a moat 我用它像护城河

There's a blues man in the distance and he's 有一个蓝色的人在远处，他是

Lost inside his 在他的迷失

Note 注

His note 他的说明

   

The night is growing dark 夜越来越深

From somewhere deep within 从内心深处的某个地方

It shelters like an ark 它庇护像方舟

That always takes you in 总是需要你在

   

And the night rolls on 而晚上就滚

Like a slow moving train 就像一个缓慢移动的火车

And the soul cries out 和灵魂呼喊

For an handful of rain 对于极少数的雨
