歌词与翻译

[中文]

好吧，我还没喝任何东西

我知道你可能会这么想

如果我在这个夜晚出现

记得很久以前

我答应过会去看你

在那次聚会里

他们开始谈论你该走的步伐

你犯的错误，和你伤害的心

以及你要付出的代价，我差点离开

当那位老人站起来时，你几乎能听到针掉落的声音

他站起来说：“我会像每周一样再说一次

给那些不认识我的人。”

生活中简单的事物，比如家里的孩子和慈爱的妻子

当你失控时，你最想念的就是它们

你所爱的一切开始消失

魔鬼握住你的手说：“别怕

再来一杯，只要再喝一杯啤酒”

是的，我曾经历过，这就是我在这里的原因

...

这个老伙计在过道上站了起来

他说他一直活在否认之中

当他谈到浪费的岁月时，他哭了

我简直不敢相信我所听到的

那正是我的生活，一字不差

突然间，一切变得清晰

生活中简单的事物，比如家里的孩子和慈爱的妻子

当你失控时，你最想念的就是它们

你所爱的一切开始消失

魔鬼握住你的手说：“别怕

再来一杯，只要再喝一杯啤酒”

是的，我曾经历过，这就是我在这里的原因

我知道对我们来说，可能已经太迟

但这对我而言意义重大

如果你在我站出来说话时在场

生活中简单的事物，比如家里的孩子和慈爱的妻子

当你失控时，你最想念的就是它们

你所爱的一切开始消失

魔鬼握住你的手说：“别怕

再来一杯，只要再喝一杯啤酒”

是的，我曾经历过，这就是我在这里的原因

哦，我曾经历过，这就是我在这里的原因

...

[英语]

Well, I ain't had nothing to drink

I knew that's probably what you'd think

If I dropped by this time of night

Remember way back when

I promised you I'd drop in

At one of those meetings down at the while

And they started talkin' 'bout steps you take

Mistakes you make, the hearts you break

And the price you pay, I almost walked away

And you could hear a pin drop when this old man

Stood up and said, "I'm gonna say it again like I do every week

For those who don't know me"

It's the simple things in life like the kids at home and a loving wife

That you miss the most, when you lose control

And everything you love starts to disappear

The devil takes your hand and says, "No fear

Have another shot, just one more beer"

Yeah, I've been there, that's why I'm here

This ol' boy stood up in the aisle

Said he'd been living a life of denial

And he cried as he talked about wasted years

I couldn't believe what I heard

It was my life word for word

And all of the sudden it was clear

It's the simple things in life like the kids at home and a loving wife

That you miss the most, when you lose control

And everything you love starts to disappear

The devil takes your hand and says, "No fear

Have another shot, just one more beer"

Yeah, I've been there, that's why I'm here

I know for us, it may be too late

But it would mean the world to me

If you were there when I stand to say

It's the simple things in life like the kids at home and a loving wife

That you miss the most, when you lose control

And everything you love starts to disappear

Devil takes your hand and says, "No fear

Have another shot, just one more beer"

Yeah, I've been there, that's why I'm here

Oh, I've been there, that's why I'm here
