Tell Laura I Love Her
告诉劳拉我爱她
Sung by Ray Peterson
Laura and Tommy were lovers. He wanted to give her everything: flowers, presents and most of all, a wedding ring. He saw a sign for a stock car race; a thousand ollar prize, it read. He couldn't get Laura on the phone, so to her mother Tommy said, "Tell Laura I love her. Tell Laura I need her. Tell Laura I may be late; I've something to do that cannot wait."
He drove his car to the racing ground. He was the youngest driver there. And the crowd roared as they started the race. 'Round the track they drove at a deadly pace. No one knows what happened that day, how his car overturned in flames. But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck, with his dying breath they heard him say, "Tell Laura I love her. Tell Laura I need her. Tell Laura not to cry; my love for her will never die."
And in the chapel where Laura prays for her Tommy, who passed awayit was just for Laura he lived and diedalone in the chapel she can hear him cry, "Tell Laura I love her. Tell Laura I need her. Tell Laura not to cry; my love for her will never die. Tell Laura I love her. Tell Laura I love her."
劳拉与汤米是一对情侣。他想要给她一切:想送她鲜花、礼物,最重要的是,结婚戒指。他看见一则有关房车比赛的广告,上面写着奖金一千美元。他打电话找不到劳拉,只好对她母亲说:『告诉劳拉我爱她,告诉劳拉我需要她。告诉劳拉我或许会晚到些,有些事情我必须要马上去做。』
他开着车到赛车场。他是场上最年轻的赛车手。比赛一开始,观众们便大声叫嚷着。选手们驾着车沿着跑道一圈圈地以致命的速度疾驰。没有人知道那天到底发生了什么事,也没有人知道汤米的车是怎么翻覆并燃烧起来的。但当他从扭曲的车身残骸中被拖出来时,在他垂死之际,人们听到他说:『告诉劳拉我爱她,告诉劳拉我需要她。告诉劳拉别哭泣,我对她的爱将永不消逝。』
现在在小教堂中,劳拉为她死去的爱人汤米祈祷
着──他因劳拉而存在,也为她而死──她独自在教堂,仍可听到他吶喊着:『告诉劳拉我爱她,告诉劳拉我需要她。告诉劳拉别哭泣,我对她的爱将永不消逝。告诉劳拉我爱她,告诉劳拉我爱她。』
