Letter From Rosie (Edit)

Found it folded in my saddle bag

在马鞍袋里发现它，折得皱皱的

Paper worn and the ink run black

纸张泛黄磨损，墨迹晕成一片黑

Postmarked dated near a month ago

邮戳日期已是近一个月前

from a town I used to know

来自一座我曾熟悉的小镇

And I start shaking as I read your name

念出你名字时，我开始不住颤抖

Rosie, Lord it hit like rain

罗西，天啊，这冲击如暴雨倾盆

I broke that seal with a heavy hand

我用沉重的手拆开信封

Didn't know if I could stand

不知自己是否还撑得住

Every word felt like a ghost

每一字都像一缕幽魂

from the girl I love the most

It was a letter from Rosie

这是一封罗西的来信

Saying why'd you leave me this way

信上写着，你为何要这样离我而去

Said the nights got cold and lonely

她说夜晚变得寒冷又孤寂

and the sky felt the same

连天空也一样黯淡空茫

She wrote I waited by that old porch light

她写，我守在那盏旧门廊灯下等你

Hoping you'd come back one day

盼着有一天你会归来

Now I'm holding words from yesterday that came

如今我捧着昨日传来的字句

Too late to stay

却已太迟，再也留不住

She said the town still speaks my name

她说小镇上仍有人提起我

but not like it did before I left.

却已不像我离开前那般温情

Said my shadow never left those streets

她说我的影子从未离开那些街巷

even though I chose to leave

即便我亲手选择了远走他乡

Your old coat still hangs by the door

你的旧外套仍挂在门边

boot marks faded on the floor

地板上的靴印早已淡去

I kept your side of the bed untouched

你睡的那半边床，我始终未曾动过

Got that line hurt too much, ever since

从那以后，那句话伤我太深

Cut so deep, like promises I couldn't keep

伤口刻骨，像那些我没能守住的诺言

It was a letter from Rosie

这是一封罗西的来信

Saying I tried to understand

她说我曾试着去理解

said she prayed I'd find my own way back.

她曾祈祷，盼我能找到回家的路

But life don't follow plans.

可人生从不会按计划走

She wrote if you ever read this note,

她写，若你某天读到这封信，

just know I gave my heart.

要记得，我曾把真心全部给你

Now I'm holding what's left of us.

如今我握着我们仅剩的一切。

Last one said don't come back for me.

最后一句写着：别再回来找我

I'm already where you used to be.

我已去往你曾经停留的地方

Church bells rang in the distance slow.

远处教堂钟声缓缓响起

And suddenly I knew I was too late to go.

那一刻我忽然明白，一切都已太迟

It was a letter from Rosie.

这是一封罗西的来信

From a world I can't return.

Every word a quiet goodbye

每一字都是无声的告别

every page a lesson learned

每一页都是刻骨铭心的教训

She waited long as she could wait

她已尽她所能等了太久

but time don't ever bend

可时光从不为谁回头

Now I'm riding with her memory.

如今我带着她的回忆独自前行

Don't know how to end

不知该如何收场

Folded that letter, held it to my chest

折起信，紧紧按在胸口

like I could bring her back to rest.

仿佛这样就能唤她回来

But the wind just took what I couldn't say

可风只带走了我没能说出口的话

and carried her name away

将她的名字，轻轻吹散远方
