歌词
The Horse's hay beneath His head our Lord was born to a manger bed
我们的主出生在马槽床上,枕着马匹的干草
That all whose wells run dry could drink of His supply
所有水井干涸了的人都可以喝他的供给
To keep Him warm the Sheep drew near
为了让他温暖,绵羊靠近了
So grateful for His coming here:
非常感激他的到来:
You come with news of grace, come to take my place!
您带着恩典的消息来了,来代替我的位置!
The Donkey whispered in His ear:
驴子在他耳边低语:
Child, in thirty-some-odd years
孩子,三十多年后
You'll ride someone who looks like me (untriumphantly)
你会骑着一个像我的人(毫不得意)
While the Cardinals warbled a joyful song:
当红衣主教们唱起一首欢快的歌时:
He'll make right what man made wrong
他会改正人为的错误
Bringing low the hills, that the valleys might be filled!
夷平山丘,填满山谷!
Then Child, asked the birds
然后,孩子,问们小鸟
Well, aren't they lovely words we sing?
嗯,我们的唱词不是很可爱吗?
The tiny Baby lay there without saying anything
小宝宝安安静静地躺在那里
At a distance stood a mangy Goat
远处站着一只脏兮兮的山羊
With a crooked teeth and a matted coat
牙齿歪歪扭扭,羊毛湿脏蓬乱
Weary eyes and worn, chipped & twisted horns
眼神疲倦,双角残破扭曲。
Thinking: Maybe I'll make friends some day
思考着:也许有一天
With the Cows in the pens and the Rambouillet
我会和围栏里的奶牛和朗布依埃绵羊做朋友
But for now I'll keep away - I got nothin' smart to say
但现在我会远离——我没什么聪明话好说的
But there's a sign on the barn in the Cabbagetown:
但是卷心菜镇的谷仓上有一个标志:
WHEN THE RAIN PICKS UP AND THE SUN GOES DOWN
当雨停了,太阳下山
SINNERS, COME INSIDE!
罪人们,进来吧!
WITH NO MONEY, COME AND BUY
不用钱,来买吧
NO CLEVER TALK NOR GIFT TO BRING REQUIRES OUR LOWLY, LOVELY KING
你无需对我们卑微可爱的国王献上机敏的谈话或精致的礼物
COME YOU EMPTYHANDED, YOU DON'T NEED ANYTHING
空手而来就好,你什么都不需要
And the night was cool and clear as glass
夜晚凉爽而清澈
With the sneaking Snake in the garden grass
有条蛇在花园草丛中潜行
As Deep cried out to Deep, the Disciples fast asleep
当深渊向深渊呼喊,门徒们正酣睡
And the snake perked up when he heard You ask:
蛇听到你的提问,精神抖擞起来:
If You're willing that this cup might pass
只要你愿意,这个杯子能被轻易移开
We could find our way back home
我们就可以找到回家的路
Maybe start a family all our own...but does not the Father guide the Son?
也许还能建立一个我们自己的家庭……但父亲难道不该引导儿子吗?
Not my will but Yours be done!
不是我的意志,而是你的意志!
What else here to do?
这里还有什么可做的?
What else me but You???
除了你,我还能做什么???
And the snake who'd held the world
那条拥有世界的蛇
A stick, a carrot and a string
一根棍子,一根胡萝卜和一根绳子
Was crushed beneath the Foot of Your not wanting anything
被踩在你无欲无求的足下
