I read a note my grandma wrote back in nineteen twenty-three.
我读过一封信，那是奶奶在1923年写的
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me. he said,
爷爷把它放在大衣里，他曾经给我看过一次，他说
\boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago,
孩子啊，也许你不能理解，但在很久很久以前
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none, but i loved your grandma so.\
奶奶的爸爸一点都不喜欢我，但我却那么地爱着你奶奶
We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together.

Get married in the first town we came to, and live forever.
在我们来到的第一个小镇结婚，然后永远生活在一起
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet, instead

Of her, i found this letter, and this is what it said:
我找到了这封信，它呢是这么说的
If you get there before i do, don't give up on me.
如果你在我前面到那儿，请你一定要相信我啊

I don't know how long i'll be.
尽管我不知道会让你等多久
But i'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.

And between now and then, till i see you again,

I read those words just hours before my grandma passed away,

In the doorway of a church where me and grandpa stopped to pray.

But as he said these words to her, his eyes filled up with tears.
可是当他把这些话说给奶奶听时，他眼中噙满泪水
If you get there before i do, don't give up on me.
