Let me tell you about a story, about a man named Joe 让我告诉你一个故事，关于一个叫乔的人

His family they was hungry, so he said I'm gonna go 他的家人，他们饿了，所以他说我要去

Go up in the mountains, start looking for some gold 走在山上，开始寻找一些黄金

So he started out one morning, the wind was getting cold 于是，他开始了一天早晨，风越来越冷了

The air was nearly freezing, it was ten degrees below 空气几乎凝固，这是低于10度

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

Sad eyed Joe, why did you go, 伤心的眼乔，你为什么走了，

Your family's gonna miss you, they want you back at home 您的家庭会想念你，他们希望你回到家里

Think about the winter, think about the snow 想想冬天，想想雪

Think about the things that you're gonna leave behind 想想你要的东西留下

When your looking for the gold dust that you're never gonna find 当你寻找砂金的你永远不会找到

   

He wakes up every morning, after only five hours sleep 他每天早上醒来后，只有五个小时的睡眠

Chewing on a tasteless piece of gristly worn out meat 嚼鸡肋一块gristly磨损肉

His coffee runout weeks ago he won't admit defeat 他的咖啡跳动星期前，他不会认输

Panning on the water searching with his hands 平移在水面上，双手搜寻

Looking for the yellow dust but all he find is sand 寻找沙尘暴，但他所发现的是沙

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

They searched fro him every day for one whole solid week 他们每天来回寻找他整整一周固

They found him lying frozen at the bottom of the creek 他们发现他躺在冰冻的小溪底部

A bag of yellow gold dust between his icy feet 他冰冷的双脚之间的一袋黄金尘

His collar it was turned up frozen to his jaw 他的衣领也被拒绝了冻结他的下巴

Sad eyed Joe looked sadder than he ever looked before 伤心的眼睛看着乔更悲哀，比他以往任何时候都显得前

   

[Chorus] [合唱]
