Whiskey Lullaby (威士忌安魂曲)
Whiskey Lullaby is a single by Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss
The full length music video is set in the 1940s. It starts out with a man returning home from the Army, as he walks into his house and looks at the pictures of him and his wife and has a flashback to a moment of them underneath a Weeping Willow tree. He hears laughter upstairs and walks up expecting to find his wife alone, but she is in bed with another man. He then leaves her and the song begins.
The first verse of the song in the video shows the man getting drunk, and not being able to get his wife off his mind. He eventually gets so drunk that he kills himself, and the first chorus shows his funeral and his wife crying. He died in 1947.
The second verse of the song in the video shows the wife drinking a lot and going out with guys, there is a scene in which the wife pushes a man out of the room and starts to drink whiskey straight from the bottle. That part of the video shows how she really blamed herself for his death and that whiskey was the only thing that could make her feel better.
Just before the second chorus there's a shot of her at her husband's grave crying and drinking. When the chorus starts, it cuts to her funeral, which also took place in 1947. and people crying and when the song finishes a little girl is looking back at the graves and seeing their ghosts, hugging and kissing and falling in love again. It is seen in the video that the wifes name was Katherine Bartlett, but the husbands name is too blurry to be recognized beyond Bartlett.
歌词:
She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
她离开了他,如同一支在午夜燃尽的香烟
She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget
她伤透了他的心,他将要用他的余生去忘记
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
在很短的时间里我们望见他喝完了他心中的痛
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
可他却从未喝到足以让她从他的心中离去
Until the night
直到那晚
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
他把酒瓶放在了头上并扣动了手枪的扳机
And finally drank away her memory
最终他喝完了所有关于她的记忆
Life is short but this time it was bigger
生命是短暂的,但这一刻它却如此强大,
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
甚至大过了他再次站起来回到生活中的力量
We found him with his face down in the pillow
我们发现他倒在枕头上
With a note that said I'll love her till I die
而在枕边的一个便笺上写着：“我爱她直至我生命终结的那一刻。”
And when we buried him beneath the willow
当我们把他安葬在低垂的柳树下时
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby
天使们唱起了威士忌安魂曲
The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
谣言四起,可却无人知晓她是多么的自责
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
年复一年她沉溺于酗酒
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
最终在很短的时间里她喝完了她心中的苦
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
可她却从未喝到足以让他从她的心中离去
Until the night
直到那晚
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
她把酒瓶放在了头上并扣动了手枪的扳机
And finally drank away his memory
最终她喝完了所有关于他的记忆
Life is short but this time it was bigger
生命是短暂的,但这一刻它却如此强大,
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
甚至大过了她重新站起来回到生活中的力量
We found her with HE* **CE down in the pillow
我们发现她倒在枕头上
Clinging to his picture for dear life
紧紧握着亲爱的他的相片
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
我们把她安葬在低垂的柳树下,紧靠在他的身旁
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby
那刻天使们唱起了威士忌安魂曲
