Lower reaches of the valley

Your breath is sweet

Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky.

Your back is straight, your hair is smooth

On the pillow where you lie.

But I don't sense affection

No gratitude or love

Your loyalty is not to me

But to the stars above.

One more cup of coffee for the road,

One more cup of coffee 'fore I go

To the valley below.

Your daddy he's an outlaw

And a wanderer by trade

He'll teach you how to pick and choose

And how to throw the blade.

He oversees his kingdom

So no stranger does intrude

His voice it trembles as he calls out

For another plate of food.

One more cup of coffee for the road,

One more cup of coffee 'fore I go

To the valley below.

Your sister sees the future

Like your mama and yourself.

You've never learned to read or write

There's no books upon your shelf.

And your pleasure knows no limits

Your voice is like a meadowlark

But your heart is like an ocean

Mysterious and dark.

One more cup of coffee for the road,

One more cup of coffee 'fore I go

To the valley below.

你的气息是甜蜜的

眼睛像天空中的两颗宝石。

你的背影笔直，头发柔顺光滑

当你躺下，靠着枕头。

但我却没有心动

没有感激或者爱意

你并不是为我忠诚

而是对天上的星辰。

上路之前，再来一杯咖啡，

再来一杯咖啡我就走

去那溪谷的下游。

你的爸爸是一个亡命之徒

一个职业流浪者

他将教给你怎样挑选和决定

怎样投掷飞刀。

他俯瞰着他的王国

没有陌生人能够闯入

他的嗓音颤抖，当他大声咆哮

为了一碟子食物。

上路之前，再来一杯咖啡，

再来一杯咖啡我就走

去那溪谷的下游。

你妹妹感觉到她的未来

会像你的妈妈和你自己。

你从不学习阅读或写作

书架上也没有一本书。

你的希望没有极限

你的声音像一只草地鹨

但你的心像海洋

神秘而幽深。

上路之前，再来一杯咖啡，

再来一杯咖啡我就走

去那溪谷的下游。
