I just cracked the top on some Jim Beam I just bought.
Aku baru saja membuka botol Jim Beam yang baru saja kubeli.

Took a big ol' swig an' I just set her down.
Kuminum sedikit banyak dan aku langsung meletakkannya.

It's a foolish thing to think, that you could kill the hurt with drink,
Sungguh bodoh berpikir bisa menghapus rasa sakit dengan minuman,

But it's the only thing that I can think of now.
Tapi ini satu-satunya cara yang bisa kupikirkan sekarang.

Got her down to the top of the sticker:
Aku sudah meneguk sampai ke bagian atas labelnya:

I wish this stuff would kick in a little quicker.
Aku berharap minuman ini cepat memengaruhi.

I can still see us on that tiltawhirl, spinnin'.
Aku masih bisa melihat kita di wahana putar, berputar.

Cotton-candy and then when she had mustard on her chin,
Gula kapas dan saat dia punya mustard di dagunya,

From that corn-dog that slipped right off of the stick,
Dari corn-dog yang terjatuh dari tusuknya,

And that top of the Ferriss wheel kiss.
Dan ciuman di puncak bianglala itu.

I ain't forgot about that yet,
Aku belum melupakan itu,

But I still have some whiskey left.
Tapi aku masih punya sedikit whiskey tersisa.

Sure thought I'd be able, once I reached the middle of the label,
Aku yakin bisa, begitu aku sampai di tengah labelnya,

That some of those memories would somehow wash away.
Bahwa beberapa kenangan itu akan menghilang begitu saja.

Now I'm pushin' toward the bottom, an' thoughts of her, yeah, I still got 'em.
Sekarang aku terus meneguk sampai ke dasar, dan pikiran tentang dia, ya, masih ada.

Those shots, I've shot 'em, but they ain't killed yesterday.
Tembakan itu, sudah kutenggak, tapi tidak menghapus kemarin.

Just a little below the sticker:
Sedikit di bawah labelnya:

Yeah, I must've got a bad batch of liquor.
Ya, sepertinya aku dapat minuman yang jelek.

I can still see her standin' there on that sidewalk,
Aku masih bisa melihat dia berdiri di trotoar itu,

Yellin' out for the taxi that would take her away,
Berseru memanggil taksi yang akan membawanya pergi,

From the arms of the one that still loves her
Dari pelukan orang yang masih mencintainya

With all of his heart.
Dengan segenap hatinya.

I ain't forgot about that yet,
Aku belum melupakan itu,

But I still have some whiskey left.
Tapi aku masih punya sedikit whiskey tersisa.

I just tipped it up an' took the last sip from the cup:
Aku baru saja mengangkatnya dan meminum sisa terakhir dari cangkir:

Threw that bottle on the ground an' started to cry.
Aku melempar botol itu ke tanah dan mulai menangis.

I know that I've had plenty an' now there just ain't any,
Aku tahu aku sudah cukup banyak dan sekarang tidak ada lagi,

An' I'm just as empty as that bottle inside.
Dan aku sama kosongnya seperti botol itu di dalam.
