She was a lovely girl, a charming brown eyed beauty 她是个可爱的女孩，迷人的棕色眼睛的美丽

You were the bright young man who swept her off her feet 你是聪明的年轻人谁扫她的石榴裙

The high school class ring soon became a wedding band 高中类环很快成为了结婚戒指

And you went off to sail the seas for Uncle Sam 而你去了航行海上的山姆大叔

But they say it was the demon in the bottle 但他们说这是在瓶子里的魔鬼

That took you far away never to return 也就是说你花了很远有去无回

And you never knew your son would be my father 你永远不知道你的儿子是我的父亲

And now sometimes I think about you and I wonder 现在有时候我想你，我不知道

If I could talk to you what words would I choose 如果我能和你说话，我会选择什么词

   

I would say I wish I could have known you 我会说我希望我能知道你

And I would say I wish you would've stayed 我会说我希望你已经住

But most of all I would say I forgive you 但最重要的是我会说我原谅你

   

I know your love was strong I read it in your letters 我知道你的爱是坚强我在你的信读

I read how hard you tried to break free from the chains 我看了你试过有多难摆脱的枷锁

I know we all could say how you should have done better 我知道，我们都可以说你应该如何做的更好

And wear our anger and resentment like a fetter 穿我们的愤怒和怨恨像枷锁

But that's why I would say this to you if I could. 但是，这就是为什么我想如果我能说这个给你。

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

I'd love to tell you how the lovely girl you married 我很想告诉你如何可爱的女孩，你结婚了

She's been my hero and a treasure to us all 她是我心目中的英雄和宝物的全部

I know you'd be proud of the way your name's been carried 我知道你会在你的名字的被执行的方式感到自豪

These are things I would love to tell you if I could 这些都是我很想告诉你，如果我能

I wish you were here to hear what I would say 我希望你在这里听到的话我会说
