歌词
Good King Wenceslas looked out
好国王(温塞拉斯)望向窗外,
On the Feast of Stephen
这是斯蒂芬的宴会。
When the snow lay 'round about
当雪花飘落在大地,
Deep and crisp and even
深沉、清脆、均匀。
Brightly shone the moon that night
那晚月亮照得很亮,
Though the frost was cruel
寒霜依然刺骨。
When a poor man came in sight
这时一个穷人出现了,
Gathering winter fuel
捡拾着冬季的木柴。
"Hither, Page, and stand by me, “
到我身边来,侍从,
If thou know'st it, telling
如果你知道就说出来——
Yonder peasant, who is he?
那边的那个农夫是谁?
Where and what his dwelling?
“他住在什么地方?”
"Sire, he lives a good league hence,
“陛下,从此以后,他会生活得很好。
Underneath the mountain
在山之下,
Right against the forest fence
在森林的篱笆旁边,
By Saint Agnes' fountain.
“在圣艾格尼丝喷泉旁,”
……
"Sire, the night is darker now “
陛下,夜已渐深,
And the wind blows stronger
寒风渐冽,
Fails my heart, I know not how
不知为何,我的心已枯竭,
I can go no longer.
“我已无法前行。”
"Mark my footsteps, my good Page “
记下我的脚步,我的好侍从。
Tread thou in them boldly
大胆地把脚步踩进去,
Thou shall find the winter's rage
也许你已经发现了冬天的愤怒,
Freeze thy blood less coldly.
“那就别让自己如此冷血。”
In his master's step he trod
他踏着主人的脚步——
Where the snow lay dinted
虽然雪覆盖了脚步,
Heat was in the very sod
但温度依然停留,
Which the Saint had printed
这是圣徒的印记。
Therefore, Christian men, be sure
所以,基督徒们,你们要知道——
Wealth or rank possessing
拥有财富或者地位,
Ye, who now will bless the poor
依然要为穷人们祈祷,
Shall yourselves find blessing.
如此,你们也会寻到祝福。
