That's how they found him 这就是他们如何找到他

He was howling at the moon 他对牛弹琴

He's sitting right there on the railway tracks 他在铁道上坐在那里

And the train was coming 与火车来了

   

There was a string of wild flowers 有野花串

Draped around his collar 在他的衣领披

And when he saw the men were coming for him 而当他看到男子为他而来

Well, he began to holler 好了，他开始发牢骚

   

He cried, "Take me away, take me away" 他哭了， “带我走，带我走”

But the men could not be sure 但男人也不能肯定

If he was talking to them or talking to the oncoming train 如果他是说他们也不说话，迎面而来的火车

   

Now his mama she watched religion on the TV 现在，他的妈妈，她看着宗教电视

Each day from dawn to dusk 每天从黎明到黄昏

And at night when she'd hear him howling 晚上，当她听到他狂吼

Well, she'd cried to Jesus 好吧，她哭了耶稣

   

For years she begged the Sweet Redeemer 多年来，她央求甜救赎

To heal her crazy son 为了医治她的儿子疯狂

Until finally she just gave up on miracles 直到最后，她才放弃了奇迹

And called the men to come 并把所有的人来

   

She told them, "Take him away, take my son away 她告诉他们， “把他带走，把我的儿子离开

'Cause after 20 long years 经过20年之久“的原因

I've simply run out prayers to pray" 我只是跑出去祈祷祈祷。“

   

But as he stood to fight the men 但是，当他站在战斗的男人

From the other side of the railway bed 从铁路床的另一侧

He thought he heard the calling voice 他认为他听到呼叫声

Of an old friend he thought long dead 的老朋友，他认为早就死了

   

But when he turned away from the men 但是，当他转身离开的男人

He found it was a stranger calling him 他发现这是一个陌生人打电话给他

And as if he knew that man 而且，如果他知道那个男人

He smiled and raised his hand 他笑着举起手来

   

As he stepped into the golden sun 当他走进金色的阳光

Of the headlight of the oncoming train 迎面而来的火车的前照灯的

And as he did he locked eyes with that stranger 而像他那样，他将目光锁定与陌生人

He cried out one last time 他哭了出来，最后一次

He cried, "Take me away, please, take me away" 他哭了， “带我走，请带我走”

   

And to this day in this little town 并以这一天在这个小镇

Not a soul knows what he was trying to say 没有一个人知道他想说什么

All them years of shouting take me away 所有这些年来大喊带我走

No, no one knows what he was trying to say 没有，没有人知道他想说

Or who that stranger was 或者谁是陌生人
