Almost heaven, west Virginia

就像在天堂,西維吉尼亞州

Blue ridge mountains, Shenandoah River

有著藍脊山脈和雪安多奧河

Life is old there, older than the trees

那裡的生活傳統,彷彿比樹木還古老

Younger than the mountains

也比山脈更加年輕

Growing like a breeze

生命像風自在成長


Country roads, take me home

鄉間小路,帶我回家吧

To the place I belong

回到那該屬於我的地方

West Virginia, mountain mama

西維吉尼亞,孕育我的山脈之母

Take me home, country roads

帶我回家吧,鄉間小路


All my memories gathered round her

我所有回憶都圍繞著她,我的母親

Miner's lady, stranger to blue water

一位未曾見過藍色海水的礦工妻子

Dark and dusty painted on the sky

礦場裡的灰塵,總將天空染得烏黑

Misty taste of moonshine

家中釀酒的香醇味道依稀

Teardrops in my eyes

憶此,淚水也矇矓了雙眼


I hear her voice in the morning hours she calls me

我彷彿又聽見母親清晨呼喚我起床的聲音

The radio reminds me of my home far away

電台的廣播卻提醒著我,離家距離還很遠

And driving down the road I get a feeling

在開車回家路上,我突然有一種感覺

That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday

那是在昨天,我早就應該回到家的懷抱了
