As I write this letter to you darling 就在我写这封信给你亲爱的

I can't hold the teardrops from my eyes 我无法从我的眼睛保持泪珠

For at sundown I will lay a dying 对于日落我快要死了

Rode into this cattle town this morning 乘着这个牛镇今天上午

Left my bearer to check the market price 离开了我的承载，检查市场价格

And I walked into the nearest barroom 我走进了最近的酒吧间

There the crowd was gay and girls were dancing 有人群是同性恋和女孩跳舞

And the men were playing cards and dice 而男人们扑克牌和骰子

So I stepped up to the bar to join them 于是我加紧了对巴加入他们的行列

What a grand place this Fool's Paradise. 真是一个大广场这个黄粱美梦。

   

It was then I showed to them your picture 就在那时我发现给他们你的图片

I passed it around once or twice 我通过它周围一两次

Then a man insulted your sweet honor 然后，一个男人侮辱你的甜蜜荣誉

At the bar of the Fool's Paradise. 在黄粱美梦的吧。

   

So I slapped his face and I told him 于是我打了他的脸，我告诉他

I said you eat 'em words Mister or draw that's my advice 我说你吃时间的话先生或绘制这是我的忠告

And he said well somebody might get hurty inside 他说好有人可能会hurty内

But I'll be glad to meet you in the street at sundown 不过，我会很高兴见到你在大街上，在日落

At sundown in front of the Fool's Paradise. 日落时分在黄粱美梦面前。

   

So goodbye my darling may God bless you 所以，再见了我亲爱的愿上帝保佑你

I go to make this sacrifice 我去做出这种牺牲

And if ever you visit old Dodge City 如果你曾经拜访老道奇城

Remember the Fool's Paradise... 记住黄粱美梦......
