Sitting by the window of this broken-down hotel, 本破旧的酒店的窗户坐着，

Trying to write a letter just to show you that I'm well, 想写信只是为了告诉你，我很好，

But I've been watching all the people as they cross the marketplace, 不过，我一直在看所有的人，因为他们越过市场，

And though there really is no reason, I've been looking for your face, 虽然实在是没有理由的，我一直在找你的脸，

   

It's such a long way home, 它是这样一个很长的路回家，

It's such a long way home, 它是这样一个很长的路回家，

It's such a long way; 它是这样一个很长的路要走;

   

Standing by the aeroplane she held me in her arms, 站在她的怀里抱着我的飞机，

And then she whispered "Oh dear Lord don't let him come to any harm" 然后，她小声说“哦，亲爱的主啊，不要让他来任何伤害”

And as we turned to fly away I saw her standing on her own, 当我们转身飞走了，我看到她站在她自己的，

It seemed her hand was waving not goodbye but "Please come home", 似乎她的手挥舞着不再见，但“请回家”

   

It's such a long way home, 它是这样一个很长的路回家，

It's such a long way home, 它是这样一个很长的路回家，

It's such a long way; 它是这样一个很长的路要走;

   

Oh so many people have to travel away, 哦，这么多人都去旅游了，

From the ones that they love and they need, 从那些他们的爱和他们所需要的，

But I want to tell you that all your life, 但我想告诉你，所有你的生活，

You can depend on me; 你可以依靠我。

   

Far away a saxophone lingers on a tune, 远萨克斯徘徊在一首曲子，

And it's the kind of song that someone wrote for lovers and a moon, 而且它的那种歌，有人写了情人和一个月亮，

And as the band begins to play it, with a shock I realize, 而作为乐队开始演奏它，用电击我知道，

That it's a song we sang together and it nearly makes me cry, 这是一首歌，我们一起唱，这几乎让我哭了，

   

It's such a long way home, 它是这样一个很长的路回家，

It's such a long way home, 它是这样一个很长的路回家，

It's such a long way home 它是这样一个很长的路回家

It's such a long way, yes, such a long way home. 它是这样一个很长的路，是的，这么长的回家路。
