Laura and Tommy were lovers
He wanted to give her everything
Flowers, presents and most of all
a wedding ring
He saw a sign for a stock car race
A thousand dollar prize it read
He couldn't get Laura on the phone
So to her mother Tommy said
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura I may be late
I've something to do
that cannot wait
He drove his car
to the racing grounds
He was the youngest driver there
And the crowed roared
as they started the race
'Round the track
they drove at a deadly pace
No one knows what
happened that day
How his car overturned in flames
But as they pulled him
from the twisted wreck
With his dying breath
they heard him say
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die
And in the chapel
where Laura prays
For Tommy who passed away
It was just for Laura
he lived and died
Alone in the chapel
she can hear him cry
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I love her

Laura and Tommy were lovers,
he wanted to give her everything:
로라와 토미는 연인이죠..
그는 그녀에게 모든걸 주길 원했는데
Flowers, presents and most of all,
a wedding ring.
꽃과.. 선물.. 그리고 무엇보다도
결혼 반지를 주고 싶었지
He saw a sign for a stock car race,
a thousand dollar prize it read.
그는 자동차 경주를 한다는 게시물을 보았죠.
1000달러의 상금이 걸려있었죠

He couldn't get Laura on the phone
so to her mother Tommy said:
그는 로라에게 통화 할 수가 없어,
그녀의 어머니에게 말했어요.
"Tell Laura I love her,
tell Laura I need her,
로라에게 내가 사랑한다고 말해줘요.
나 그녀가 필요하다고
Tell Laura I may be late,
I've something to do, that cannot wait."
나 늦을지도 모른다고..
미뤄둘수 없는 일이 있어요...

He drove his car to the racing grounds,
그는 차를 몰아 자동차 경주장으로 갔어요.
He was the youngest driver there
그는 그들 중 제일 나이어린 운전자였어요.
The crowed roared as they started the race,
경주가 시작되자 관중들은 환호했고
'Round the track they drove at a deadly pace!
선수들은 트랙을 돌며 최고 속도로 달렸어요

No one knows what happened that day,
어떤 일이 벌어졌는지 아무도 몰랐어요
How his car overturned in flames,
그의 차가 뒤집혀 어쩌다 화염에 휩싸였는지

But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck,
그 찌그러진 차에서 끌어냈을 때
With his dying breath, they heard him say
마지막 숨을 거두며 이렇게 말했죠

"Tell Laura I love her,
tell Laura I need her,
로라에게 말해줘요.
나 그녀를 사랑하고 원하고 있다고..
Tell Laura not to cry,
my love for her will never die!"
그녀에게 말해줘요. 슬피 울지 말라고..
그녀에 대한 내 사랑은 영원할꺼라고

Now in the chapel Laura prays
her Tommy who passed away
예배당에서 로라가 죽은 토미를 위해 기도해요.
It was just for Laura he lived and died,
오직 로라를 위해 살다 죽었지요
Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry
예배당에 홀로 남은 그녀는
그가 우는 소릴 들을수 있었어요
"Tell Laura I love her,
tell Laura I need her,
로라에게 말해줘요.
나 그녀를 사랑하고 원하고 있다고..
Tell Laura not to cry,
my love for her will never die!"
그녀에게 말해줘요. 슬피 울지 말라고..
그녀에 대한 내 사랑은 영원할꺼라고
