Moody River|喜怒无常的河

Sung by Pat Boone

Moody River, Moody River

(Chorus) Moody River, more deadly than the vainest knife. Moody River, your muddy water took my baby's life.

Last Saturday evenin' came to the old oak tree. It stands beside the river where you were to meet me. On the ground your glove I found with a note addressed to me. It read, "Dear love, I've done you wrong, now I must set you free. No longer can I live with this hurt and this sin. I just couldn't tell you that guy was just a friend."

(Repeat chorus)

I looked into the muddy waters and what could I see? I saw a lonely, lonely face just looking back at me. Tears in his eyes and a prayer on his lips. And the glove of his lost love at his fingertips.

(Repeat chorus)

　　（副歌）喜怒无常的河啊，你比那最自负的宝刀更致命。喜怒无常的河啊，你那混浊的河水夺走了我爱人的性命。

　　上周六傍晚我来到这棵古老的橡树旁。它就立在妳我要会面的河边。我在地上发现妳的 1 只手套还有 1 张写给我的字条。上面写着：『吾爱，我对你做了不该做的事，现在我要让你自由。我无法再容忍这种痛苦和罪恶。我就是无法告诉你那个男人只是一个朋友。』

　　（重复副歌）

　　我望进混浊的河水，又能看到什么？我看到一张孤寂的脸正回看着我。眼睛噙着泪水口中祈祷不断。他的手上拿着 1 只手套，是他那位香消玉陨的爱人曾拥有。

　　（重复副歌）

本曲大意

歌者悲叹一条喜怒无常的河流夺走他爱人的生命。他的爱人因为跟另一个人男人有感情上的牵扯，觉得自己愧对歌者而跳河自尽。歌者来到河边时，他的爱人已经沦为波臣，只留下一只手套和一封遗书。唉，真所谓一失足成千古恨。
