Whiskey Lullaby (威士忌安魂曲)
She put him out like the burnin\' end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin\' to forget
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
Until the night
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said I\'ll love her till I die
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby
The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
Until the night
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away his memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear life
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby
最近才听到的一首歌，但是听了第一遍，就完全沉浸在其中了。一首忧伤的情歌，在Brad Paisley醇厚嗓音的演绎之下，令人心为之一动，泪为之盈眶。"She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette"（她抛弃他，就像在午夜扔掉一只正在燃烧的烟头）。多么残忍，而他，心中依然深深地爱着那个人：She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget（她伤透了他的心，而他用尽一生的时间试图去忘记）。但是，有句话不是这么说的吗？“爱上一个人也许只要一秒钟，而忘记一个人却要一辈子的时间”于是"We watched him dink his pain away a little at a time but he could never get drunk enough to get her off his mind"(每次醉酒都会使他的痛苦减轻那么一点点，但是，从来，他都不能从脑海中完全赶走那个人的身影）。在无尽的痛苦之中，"He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger And finally drank away her memory"（他选择了最烈的那种酒——死亡——他把枪放在脑边，扣动了扳机，终于，他的回忆被一饮而尽）。悲伤的曲调仍在回旋，低沉的嗓音仍然吟唱："Life is short but this time it was bigger Than the strength he had to get up off his knees"(生命虽然短暂，但在这一刻又是如此沉重，重到他的双腿无法承受）。我们——这场悲剧的旁观者"We found him with his face down in the pillow With a note that said I'll love her till I die"（发现他面朝下倒在枕头上，旁边一张条写着‘我会爱她直道死’）。我们都知道他做到了。"And when we buried him beneath the willow The angels sang a whiskey lullaby"(当我们将他葬在柳树之下时，分明听到天使在唱那首威士忌催眠曲）。
要是只听这一段，我们也许只会为一个痴情男人而唏嘘不已，或许心中蕴藏对负心婆的憎恨，但是，别急，还有下一段，由Alison Krauss演绎得“负心婆”看她怎么说："The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath"(这么多年来，流言蜚语不绝于耳。但是，始终没有人知道她是多么的痛恨自己，她呼吸中的酒气总是无法掩藏）。看来是另有隐情，只是不为他人道啊！"She finally drank her pain away a little at a time But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind"（每次醉酒都会使她的痛苦减轻那么一丁点，但是都不足以示她完全忘记那个人）。"until the night"(直到这一晚）"She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory"（她选择了最烈的酒——死亡——她把枪放在脑边，扣动了扳机，终于，她的回忆被一饮而尽）。"Life is short but this time it was bigger Than the strength she had to get up off her knees"(生命虽然短暂，但在这一刻又是如此沉重，重到她的双腿无法承受）。当我们发现她的时候："We found her with her face down in the pillow Clinging to his picture for dear life"（她的面孔朝下倒在枕头上，在她的身旁，是她赖以续命的他的照片）"We laid her next to him beneath the willow While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby"（我们将她葬在柳树下他的身边，耳畔又响起了天使的催眠曲）。两个不知什么缘故而彼此相离相弃的恋人，在这一刻，静静地聆听着天使的夜曲，就这样尽释前嫌，有情人终成眷属。虽然，这一刻来的这么迟，但是，两颗相爱的心，始终在一起，从未分离。
