One time I drove to see a girl across the country 有一次我开车看到全国各地的女孩

One night as I was driving through New Mexico 有一天晚上，因为我是从南部新墨西哥州驾驶

I had the windows wide open 我有窗户大开

It was cold and I was crying 这是冷的，我也哭了

And I laid her letter on the radio 我把她的信中对射

Then I stopped outside of Tahoe 然后，我太浩外停

thru this tiny mining town 通过这个小小的采矿小镇

At a diner to refill for the ride 在一家小餐馆里，以补充为乘驾

And in the wind I heard this crying 而在风中我听到这哭声

Like a heart broke right in two 就像心脏在右边两个破

I turned my collar up and went inside. 我竖起衣领向上走了进去。

   

Well, I saw this smiling waitress 嗯，我看到这个面带微笑的女服务员

Joshing friendly with these truckers 说笑的友好与这些卡车司机

They'd give her pats and she'd give them shoves 他们想给她拍，她想给他们塞到

I said: "Miss what's that awful crying?" 我说： “小姐那是什么可怕的哭呢？ ”

Everybody laughed and said: 大家都笑了，说：

"It's the tomb of the unknown love" “这是未知的爱情的坟墓”

And then they pointed out the window to this stone 他们指着窗外这块石头

All by itself, beneath the tree, beside the hill 所有的本身，树底下，山旁

And on that winter night 并在该冬夜

I read these words alone 我独自一人读了出来

These words that are haunting me still, it said: 这是困扰我还是这句话，它说：

   

Here lies a young man struck down in his prime 这里躺着一个年轻男子在他的全盛时期打倒

By the awesome burning power of love 用爱的真棒焚烧发电

He couldn't stand this true love cheating 他无法忍受一个真正的爱情欺骗

So he shot the girl down 于是，他拍摄的女孩倒

They hung him from that tree up (right) above 他们上面挂着他从大树（右）

I know that local folks say it's the wind 我知道，当地的乡亲说，这是风

But I know it's crying 但我知道它在哭

from the tomb of the unknown love. 从未知爱情的坟墓。

   

So I drove on to my destination 所以，我开车到我的目的地

I did the job my heart commanded of me 我做的工作我的心脏吩咐我的

And when the sheriff sirens came 而当警长来到警报器

I didn't even try to fight 我什至没有尝试打

They counted ten, I came out at three 他们数10 ，我就出来了三个

So now I guess tomorrow morning 所以现在我想明天早上

Warden reads some kind of paper 监狱长读取某种纸

How I'm gonna pay the state for what I've done 怎么我会付状态我做了什么

Hey, then they'll put the shackles on me 嘿，那么他们就会把束缚在我身上

And we'll take a little walk 我们会采取一些散步

They won't have to drag me 'cos it's said and done 他们不会有拖我因为它说的和做

And maybe someday they can put me up a stone 也许有一天，他们可以把我一块石头

All by itself, beneath the tree, beside the hill 所有的本身，树底下，山旁

And lovers everywhere can come and read along 和恋人到处可以来陪读

These words that will give them a chill 这些话，会给他们一个寒意

and it'll say: 它会说：

   

Here lies a young man... 这里躺着一个年轻男子...
