[00:00:02] //

[00:00:02] Tige you were faithful faithful to the end

[00:00:12] Tige，你一直忠诚

[00:00:12] Tige how I miss you you were my best friend

[00:00:24] Tige，我多么想你，我最好的朋友

[00:00:24] Three years of Army Service done and I was headin' home at last

[00:00:30] 三年的兵役结束了，我最终回家

[00:00:30] I got to thinking bout my dog and things long gone and past

[00:00:34] 我开始想念我的狗，一切都已成了过去

[00:00:34] How old Tige pulled me from the creek when I had no pulse or breath

[00:00:39] 当我没有了生存的冲动或者呼吸的欲望，年迈的Tige将我从小溪边拉了上来

[00:00:39] And how he saved me from the chargin' bull that gored my Dad to death

[00:00:45] 他从具有攻击性的公牛身边救了我，这只公牛将我父亲攻击至死

[00:00:45] As a kid I'd dream of bears and tremble to my toes

[00:00:49] 作为一个小孩，我曾经梦到大熊，吓得全身颤栗

[00:00:49] Till old Tige come up to my bed and nudge me with his nose

[00:00:53] 直到年迈的Tige到我床边，用鼻子轻轻地挨着我

[00:00:53] Then my fears would melt away and Tige would go lie down

[00:00:58] 直到我的恐惧渐渐消失，Tige才会躺下来

[00:00:58] I'd drift on back to sleep without another sound

[00:01:04] 我又睡着了，无声无息

[00:01:04] The big bus stopped I got off - it was awful dark and thick with fog

[00:01:10] 公交车停下来，我下了车，这是一个可怕的罩着薄雾的夜晚

[00:01:10] Then something gently nuzzled me and there stood Tige my dog

[00:01:15] 我感觉到有什么轻轻地挨着我，然后我看到站在面前的狗

[00:01:15] I wondered if my faithful dog had met the bus each day

[00:01:19] 我想知道，自从我离开，我忠诚的狗是否每天都遇上那辆公交车

[00:01:19] And all the dreary winter nights since I'd been away

[00:01:24] 是否也经历了那些沉闷的冬日黑夜

[00:01:24] To have Tige meet me here like this I was I was really glad

[00:01:29] 让Tige像这样遇见我，我真的会很高兴

[00:01:29] 'Cause I hadn't needed Tige so much since the day they'd buried Dad

[00:01:34] 因为，自从埋葬好了父亲，我从没有如此需要Tige

[00:01:34] Two long miles still lay ahead but what I didn't know

[00:01:38] 前方仍有2英里长的路程，但是我并不知道

[00:01:38] A giant Dam was being built where the old road used to go

[00:01:43] 在曾经的老路上建了一个巨大的水坝

[00:01:43] I thank the Lord for sending Tige and I followed where he led

[00:01:47] 感谢上帝送给我一只Tige，它带领我去各种地方

[00:01:47] Knowing well without his help that I'd be good as dead

[00:01:51] 我很清楚，如果没有他的帮助，我会与死去的人无异

[00:01:51] Tige inched along this way and that going rough and slow

[00:01:56] Tige慢慢地走在这条路上，经历艰难险阻，时快时慢

[00:01:56] And I could hear the water lappin' at the ledges far below

[00:02:02] 我能够听到河水拍打岸边的声音

[00:02:02] Then through the mist I saw a light and mother in her chair

[00:02:06] 在蒙蒙的薄雾中，我看到一缕光，妈妈坐在椅子上

[00:02:06] I reached down to pet old Tige but he wasn't there

[00:02:12] 我伸手去摸年迈的Tige，但是它却不在我身旁

[00:02:12] I'm thankful Mom you had old Tige these three lonely years

[00:02:16] 我感谢妈妈，在这孤独的三年里，你有年迈的Tige陪伴

[00:02:16] I owe my life to him tonight I couldn't help my tears

[00:02:22] 今晚，我感谢Tige给了我生命，我忍不住流下眼泪

[00:02:22] You say you wrote me bout the Dam well God was sure with us

[00:02:28] 你说你在给我信中提到了大坝，是的，上帝与我们同在

[00:02:28] I didn't get your letter Mom but old Tige met the bus

[00:02:32] 我没有收到你的来信，妈妈，年迈的Tige一定遇上了那辆公交车

[00:02:32] I hate to tell you son she said but now you've got to know

[00:02:37] When you left it broke his heart Tige died three years ago
