原歌词

[00:25.250]	An only child alone and wild
[00:28.900]	A cabinet maker's son
[00:32.780]	His hands were meant for different work
[00:36.370]	And his heart was known to none
[00:41.390]	He left his home and
[00:43.180]	went his lone and solitary way
[00:48.890]	And he gave to me a gift I know
[00:52.370]	I never can repay
[00:52.920]	I never can repay
[00:59.750]	A quiet man of music
[01:03.030]	Denied a simpler fate
[01:07.790]	He tried to be a soldier once
[01:11.140]	But his music wouldn't wait
[01:15.980]	He earned his love through discipline
[01:19.230]	A thundering, velvet hand
[01:23.360]	His gentle means of sculpting souls
[01:27.260]	Took me years to understand.
[01:34.390]	The leader of the band is tired
[01:37.680]	And his eyes are growing old
[01:41.690]	But his blood runs through my instrument
[01:45.520]	And his song is in my soul
[01:50.500]	My life has been a poor attempt
[01:54.590]	To imitate the man
[01:57.720]	I'm just a living legacy
[02:02.250]	To the leader of the band.
[02:08.960]	My brothers' lives were different
[02:11.760]	For they heard another call
[02:16.740]	One went to Chicago
[02:20.390]	And the other to St. Paul
[02:25.200]	And I'm in Colorado
[02:28.050]	When I'm not in some hotel
[02:32.910]	Living out this life I've chose
[02:36.480]	And come to know so well.
[03:01.980]	I thank you for the music
[03:04.670]	And your stories of the road
[03:09.840]	I thank you for the freedom
[03:12.880]	when it came my time to go
[03:18.030]	I thank you for the kindness
[03:21.150]	And the times when you got tough
[03:25.210]	And papa I don't think I
[03:28.370]	Said 'I love you' near enough
[03:38.600]	The leader of the band is tired
[03:41.810]	And his eyes are growing old
[03:45.760]	But his blood runs through my instrument
[03:49.870]	And his song is in my soul
[03:54.560]	My life has been a poor attempt
[03:58.250]	To imitate the man
[04:02.080]	I'm just a living legacy
[04:08.610]	To the leader of the band

歌词翻译

[00:25.250]	一个孤单的野孩子
[00:28.900]	一个橱柜制造商的儿子
[00:32.780]	他的手是为了不同的工作而长的
[00:36.370]	他的心是众所周知的
[00:41.390]	他离开了家
[00:43.180]	特立独行地走上自己的路
[00:48.890]	我明白他留给我一个礼物
[00:52.370]	我永远无法报答
[00:52.920]	我永远无以为报
[00:59.750]	一个安静的人的音乐
[01:03.030]	与简单的命运抗挣
[01:07.790]	他曾试图去当兵
[01:11.140]	但他的音乐等不及
[01:15.980]	他通过他的原则赢得了爱戴
[01:19.230]	叱咤风云而又温存的手掌
[01:23.360]	他以温柔手段塑造心灵
[01:27.260]	我花了好多年才弄明白
[01:34.390]	乐队的领导累了
[01:37.680]	他的眼睛也变老而混浊了
[01:41.690]	但他的血液贯穿我的血脉
[01:45.520]	他的歌声就是我的精神支柱
[01:50.500]	我的生命如此单薄贫瘠
[01:54.590]	我模仿他的样子
[01:57.720]	我只是个活着的馈赠
[02:02.250]	对这个乐队的领导而言
[02:08.960]	我兄弟们的生活不同
[02:11.760]	他们接到了另一种召唤
[02:16.740]	一个去了芝加哥
[02:20.390]	另一个去了圣保罗
[02:25.200]	而我在科罗拉多
[02:28.050]	当我不在酒店
[02:32.910]	活出了我选择的生活
[02:36.480]	如此熟悉
[03:01.980]	我感恩音乐
[03:04.670]	和你选择道路的故事
[03:09.840]	我感激你给的自由
[03:12.880]	时机一到我就出发
[03:18.030]	我感恩你的仁慈
[03:21.150]	和你历经的种种磨难
[03:25.210]	爸爸，我从来未曾
[03:28.370]	这么近地说我爱你
[03:38.600]	乐队的领导累了
[03:41.810]	他的眼睛也变老而混浊了
[03:45.760]	但他的血液贯穿我的血脉
[03:49.870]	他的歌声就是我的精神支柱
[03:54.560]	我的生命如此单薄贫瘠
[03:58.250]	我模仿他的样子
[04:02.080]	我只是个活着的馈赠
[04:08.610]	对这个乐队的领导而言
