歌词
All rise for the Honorable Judge Burrell
全体起立，欢迎尊贵的布瑞尔法官
This court is called to order
庭上请保持秩序
These charges are serious
指控都很严重
Stand up and face the bench
起立面向长凳
How do you plead, Sir? How do you plead?
有何申诉，先生？有何申诉？
“Guilty as charged,” the Judge decreed
“有罪如诉”，法官下令
“Stand up and face the bench
“起立面向长凳
I have some words to say to you before we recommence
继续之前，我有话说
A list of crimes this serious, I swear I have not seen
罪行如织，我发誓前所未见
In all the years that I have served Her Majesty the Queen
在我效忠女王陛下的这些年里
Arson, murder, blackmail, grand larceny and theft
纵火，谋杀，勒索，大小盗窃
Drug dealing, human trafficking, I ask the court, what’s left?
贩毒，拐卖，我想问法庭，还有什么？
Are there words of mitigation, before I pass the sentence?
宣判之前，还有减罪之词？
Anything that you can tell the court to add to your defense?”
继续辩护，还有什么可讲？”
I faced the court, thought long and hard before I gave reply
我面朝法庭，三思而后回复：
“There’s something that you need to hear, from me before I die
“我死之前，有话要讲
The circumstances of my birth were something short of bliss
我出生的情景并不欢喜
I have this from my mother, it was told to me like this…
听母亲说起，她这样告诉我……
‘The day that I was born, she said, The Good Lord woke from slumber
‘你出生的那天，上帝从梦中醒来
Looking ‘round his timber yard, He found He had no lumber
他环顾木场，发现没有什么木材
Apart from some old twisted branch, in shadows left to lurk
除了阴影里藏着老旧的弯树枝
He pulled it out into the light and set about his work.’
把它们拖到亮处便开工’
She told me that the world should not expect too much of me
她说世界不该对我寄予厚望
When the Good Lord carved my crooked soul, out of a crooked tree
当上帝用弯曲的树木，刻出我弯曲的灵魂
When the Good Lord carved my crooked soul, out of a crooked tree.”
当上帝用弯曲的树木，刻出我弯曲的灵魂”
“Stand up and face the bench
“起立面向长凳
I’ve heard all you’ve got to say
你之所讲我都听过
That there look on your face says you’re guilty
你的表情说你有罪
And now it’s your judgment day.”
今天就是你的审判日”
“I’m not asking for forgiveness
“我不求宽恕
I’m not proud of what I’ve done
自知所做有辜
I did the things I had to do, like any other mother’s son
我只做了其他孩子都会做的事
None of us are perfect, so remember what you see
人无完人，想想当时的情景
When the Good lord carved this crooked soul, out of a crooked tree
当上帝用弯曲的树木，刻出我弯曲的灵魂
When the Good Lord carved this crooked soul, out of a crooked tree.”
当上帝用弯曲的树木，刻出这弯曲的灵魂”
