And she said "What you doin' boy?" with her cheeks full of bubblegum 她说：“你干什么的男孩怎么了？”她的脸颊充满了泡泡糖

And sat down on his apple box and smiled 并坐到他的苹果箱和微笑

   

She said "I'm missing one front tooth, but I could be some company" 她说：“我失去了一个前牙，但我可能是一些公司”

So they spent that summer diggin' holes down by the stream 因此，他们花了夏天陷“孔下来的流

She'd say "You're my best friend. The first one I ever had." 她会说“你是我最好的朋友，第一个我曾经有过。 ”

He'd just smiled and said "I love you." without a word 他只是笑着说： “我爱你。 ”不语

He'd put some flowers in her hands 他会放一些鲜花在她的手中

As they sat there in the sand 当他们在沙坐在那里

On the bank of the river 在河岸边

   

Well, he was never good at sayin' what was on his heart 嗯，他从不擅长说什么是对他的心脏

And those three words never came out 而这三个字再也没有出来

And she grew up and fell in love with his quiet charm 她长大了，就爱上了他安静的魅力

And if it hurt her she didn't tell 如果它伤害了她，她没告诉

Cause he knew how to say I love you in every other way 因为他知道如何说我爱你在每一个其他的方式

He tried his best to show it on their wedding day 他尽了最大努力展现在他们的婚礼当天

When she said 当她说：

   

"You're my best friend. The first one I ever had" “你是我最好的朋友，第一个我曾经有过”

He'd put some flowers in her hands 他会放一些鲜花在她的手中

As they stood there in the sand 当他们在沙站在那里

On the bank of the river 在河岸边

   

They had years of life 他们有多年的生活

And their cup overflowed 而他们杯中溢出

It came time for him to walk some of them alone 是时候让他独自行走其中的一些

And he said 他说：

"You were my best friend. The only one I really had. “你是我最好的朋友，唯一一个我真的有。

Oh how I wish you could have heard me say those words." 我多么希望你能听到我说的那些话。 “

And he put some flowers in her hands 他把一些鲜花在她的手中

As he layed her in the sand 他奠定了她在沙滩上

And cried that he loved her 哭着说他爱她

On his knees 在他的膝盖

By the river 由河
