Well, I was passing by a pawn shop 好吧，我是路过当铺

In an older part of town 在城市的旧零件

Something caught my eye 东西吸引了我的眼球

And I stopped and turned around 我停了下来，转过身来

   

I stepped inside and there I spied 我走到里面，并在那里我窥探

In the middle of it all 在这一切中间

Was a beat up old guitar 是打了旧吉他

Hanging on the wall 挂在墙上

   

"What do you want for that piece of junk?" “你想要那件破烂？ ”

I asked the old man 我问老头

He just smiled and took it down 他只是微笑着把它取下来

And he put it in my hand 他把它放在我的手

   

He said, "You tell me what it's worth 他说：“你告诉我，这是非常值得

You're the one who wants it" 你是一个谁想要它“

Tune it up, play a song 调起来，播放歌曲

And let's just see what haunts it 让我们只看到它出没

   

So, I hit a couple of chords 于是，我打了几个和弦

In my old country way of strumming 在拨弄我的旧国道

And then my fingers turned to lightning 然后我的手指变成闪电

Man, I never heard it coming 天啊，我从来没有听说过它的到来

   

It was like I always knew it 这就像我一直都知道它

I just don't know where I learned it 我只是不知道我在哪里学来

It wasn't nothin' but the truth 这是没什么，但事实

So I just reared back and burned it 于是我就回去饲养，并把它烧了

   

Well, I lost all track of time 嗯，我失去了所有曲目的时间

There was nothing I couldn't pick 有什么我可以不接

Up and down the neck 向上和向下的颈部

I never missed a lick 我从来没有错过一舔

   

The guitar almost played itself 吉他几乎发挥自身

There was nothing I could do 有什么我可以做的

It was getting hard to tell 天渐渐分不清

Just who was playing who 究竟是谁在玩谁

   

When I finally put it down 当我终于把它放下

I couldn't catch my breath 我无法喘气

My hands were shaking 我的手在颤抖

And I was scared to death 我怕得要死

   

The old man finally got up 这位老人终于站了起来

Said, "Where in the hell you been? 他说：“凡在地狱去了？

I've been waiting all these years 我已经等了这么多年

For you to stumble in" 让你在跌倒“

   

Then he took down an old dusty case 然后，他记下了一个古老的尘土飞扬的情况下，

Said, " Go on and pack it up 说：“去，并收拾起来

You don't owe me nothing" 你不欠我什么“

And then he said, "Good luck" 然后他说： “祝你好运”

   

There was something spooky in his voice 还有他的声音怪异的东西

And something strange on his face 有什么东西在他脸上诡异

When he shut the lid 当他关上了盖子

I saw my name was on the case 我看到我的名字是对案件
