Bayang-bayang berkaki panjang
Mississippi sunset
Matahari terbenam Mississippi
She was standing like a candle
Dia berdiri seperti lilin
That hadn't been burned yet
Itu belum terbakar
The wind was blowin'
Angin bertiup ‘
Clouds like ashes
Awan seperti abu
Had my hand in my pocket
Punya tanganku di sakuku
Reaching for my matches
Mencapai korek api saya
I can see those
Aku bisa melihatnya
Cotton sheets dancin'
Seprai katun dancin ‘
On her mama's clothesline in my head
Di jemari mamanya di kepalaku
From my lips a Lucky Strike was danglin'
Dari bibirku sebuah Mogok Beruntung bergoyang ‘
The day was dyin' in a sea of red
Hari itu dyin ‘di lautan merah
Then came the night
Lalu datanglah malam ini
Warm and dark
Hangat dan gelap
Draggin' its chains
Draggin ‘rantainya
Across our hearts
Di seberang hati kita
The moon was full
Bulan penuh
The grass was wet
Rumput itu basah
Makin' us scream makin' us sweat
Makin ‘kita menjerit makin’ kita berkeringat
Holdin' on tight
Tahan ketat
It was wrong it was right
Itu salah itu benar
Then came the night
Lalu datanglah malam ini
There was a time
Ada saatnya
When love was a flower
Saat cinta itu bunga
Now it's a vine
Sekarang pohon anggur
Climbin' up the tower
Menaiki menara
And the river just rolls
Dan sungai itu bergulung
Past the garden
Melewati kebun
Where love won't grow
Dimana cinta tidak akan tumbuh
And the ground is hardened
Dan tanahnya mengeras
I can see the tattered white flag flyin'
Aku bisa melihat bendera putih compang-camping terbang ‘
I can hear the ringin' mission bell
Aku bisa mendengar bel misi ringin
Telling of the innocence that's dyin'
Menceritakan kepolosan yang dyin ‘
A sound that i remember oh so well
Sebuah suara yang saya ingat oh begitu baik
Then came the night
Lalu datanglah malam ini
Warm and dark
Hangat dan gelap
Draggin' its chains
Draggin ‘rantainya
Across our hearts
Di seberang hati kita
The moon was full
Bulan penuh
The grass was wet
Rumput itu basah
Makin' us scream makin' us sweat
Makin ‘kita menjerit makin’ kita berkeringat
Makin' us cling makin' us claw
Makin ‘kita cling bikin kita cakar
Makin' us rise makin' us fall
Makin ‘kita naik makin’ kita jatuh
Breath on breath, skin on skin
Nafas pada nafas, kulit pada kulit
I can't go back, there again
Aku tidak bisa kembali, kesana lagi
Holdin' on tight
Tahan ketat
It was wrong it was right
Itu salah itu benar
Then came the night
Lalu datanglah malam ini
[ I remember that sumer
[Saya ingat itu sumer
I was workin' for her daddy
Aku adalah pekerja untuk ayahnya
I was still a boy
Aku masih anak laki-laki
But i knew i was ready
Tapi aku tahu aku sudah siap
When she reached out and took my hand
Saat dia mengulurkan tangan dan meraih tanganku
She became a woman
Dia menjadi wanita
And i became a man
Dan saya menjadi seorang pria
I wonder if she still thinks about me
Aku ingin tahu apakah dia masih memikirkanku
The way i still think about her
Caranya aku masih memikirkannya
You dont forget something like that
Kamu tidak lupa sesuatu seperti itu
There's only one first time]
Hanya ada satu kali pertama]
