十幾年前無意中…聽到廣播介紹這首歌…
對那充滿感情、痛徹心肺的呼喚 記憶深刻…
當時英文非常不好…但卻深受歌聲感動…
尋著記憶…終於找到這首歌
Tell Laura I Love Her- Ray Peterson
Laura and Tommy were lovers
蘿拉和湯米是一對戀人
He wanted to give her everything
他想要給她一切
Flowers, presents and most of all, a wedding ring
鮮花、禮物 還有珍貴的 一只結婚戒指
He saw a sign for a stock car race
他看到一張賽車告示
A thousand dollar prize it read
可以得到一千元的賞賜
He couldn't get Laura on the phone
他無法在電話裡告訴蘿拉
So to her mother Tommy said
所以請了她的母親轉告
Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her
告訴蘿拉 我愛她 告訴蘿拉 我需要她
Tell Laura I may be late
告訴蘿拉 我可能會遲到
I've something to do, that cannot wait
我迫不及待的想做這件事
He drove his car to the racing grounds
他緩緩駛了進賽車場
He was the youngest driver there
在那裡他是最年輕的一個
The crowed roared as they started the race
群眾歡呼聲中 比賽開始
'Round the track they drove at a deadly pace
他們以致命的速度繞著圈子 追逐著
No one knows what happened that day
沒有人知道那天發生了什麼事
How his car overturned in flames
他的車在火焰中翻滾
But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck
當人們將他從扭曲的車身中拉出來
With his dying breath, they heard him say
在奄奄一息中 聽到他說
Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her
告訴蘿拉 我愛她 告訴蘿拉 我需要她
Tell Laura not to cry
告訴蘿拉 不要哭
My love for her will never die
我對他的愛 永遠不會逝去
And in the chapel where Laura prays
在教堂裡 蘿拉為逝去的湯米祈禱著
For Tommy who passed away
對她來說 湯米雖死猶生
It was just for Laura he lived and died
蘿拉獨自在教堂裡
Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry
好像聽到湯米哭著說
Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her
告訴蘿拉 我愛她 告訴蘿拉 我需要她
Tell Laura not to cry
告訴蘿拉 不要哭
My love for her will never die
