"Back Where I Belong" 回到家鄉
現代的年輕人總是在大都市裡，從各個地方而來，城市裡應有盡有，一待就是好幾年，甚至自成家庭，但是多久才回家一次呢？
達瑞爾的歌聲低沉具磁性，短短幾句唱出「都市是陌生」的感嘆，讓這首歌百聽不膩。
There's a little
shack tucked back in the timber
有個小木屋在那樹林裡面
It wasn't much
back then but it was home
不怎麼大但仍想念
Sometimes it hurts
me to remember
有時它讓我回想起來
Just how long I've
been gone
我一直在外徘徊
Oh how I miss the
smell of mama's kitchen
喔我多麼想念媽媽的廚房
And the way she
used to sing those gospel songs
聽著那些福音歌大聲歡唱
Right now I wish
that me and dad were fishin'
我希望和爸坐在湖邊岸上
So I could tell
him, he was right, and I was wrong
我才能說出 他沒錯 是我錯了
Big city nights
and lights surround me
城市的夜晚還有繁忙
Feels like a
prison to my soul
像是我靈魂的牢房
I can hear a
whippoorwill calling me home
我還能聽到那夜鶯低聲輕唱
Back where I
belong
回到我家鄉
Now all the
rockin' chairs are empty
那舊搖椅只剩他自己
I hate to think
how tall the weeds have grown
站在又長又高的雜草裡
I'd give back
everything the good Lord gave me
我會歸還給天父
所有的一切
If I could just go
back to where I belong
只要能重回那記憶中的街
Big city nights
and lights surround me
城市的夜晚還有繁忙
Feels like a
prison to my soul
像是我靈魂的牢房
I can hear a
whippoorwill calling me home
我還能聽到那夜鶯低聲輕唱
Back where I
belong
回到我家鄉
Back where I belong
回到我家鄉

歌曲翻譯
There's a little
shack tucked back in the timber
有間小木屋藏在那稀疏的樹林裡面
It wasn't much
back then but it was home
不怎麼寬敞卻是我熟悉的家
Sometimes it hurts
me to remember
有時回想起它就讓我的心一陣刺痛
Just how long I've
been gone
告訴我已經離開多久了
Oh how I miss the
smell of mama's kitchen
我想念著媽媽在廚房時飄來的香氣
And the way she
used to sing those gospel songs
還有她怎麼唱那些福音歌曲
Right now I wish
that me and dad were fishin'
而我希望此時我正跟爸爸一起在湖邊並肩釣魚
So I could tell
him, he was right, and I was wrong
我才能向他坦白，他一直是對的，而我想錯了
Big city nights
and lights surround me
大都市的夜晚和燈光在我四周
Feels like a
prison to my soul
就像囚禁我靈魂的牢籠
I can hear a
whippoorwill calling me home
我能清楚聽見三聲夜鶯呼喚著我快點回家
Back where I
belong
回到我所屬的地方
Now all the
rockin' chairs are empty
現在每一張搖椅都空了出來
I hate to think
how tall the weeds have grown
我討厭去想院子裡的雜草長得多高
I'd give back
everything the good Lord gave me
我會還給神聖的天父他給我所有的一切
If I could just go
back to where I belong
只要我能夠回到那屬於我的地方
Big city nights
and lights surround me
大都市的夜晚和燈光在我四周
Feels like a
prison to my soul
就像囚禁我靈魂的牢籠
I can hear a
whippoorwill calling me home
我能清楚聽見三聲夜鶯呼喚著我快點回家
Back where I
belong
回到我所屬的地方
Back where I
belong
回到我所屬的地方
