歌词
My boy builds coffins with hammers and nails
我的男孩用榔头和钉子打造棺材
He doesn't build ships he has no use for sails
他不造船，他认为帆毫无用处
He doesn't make tables dressers or chairs
他也不做桌椅橱柜
He can't carve a whistle because he just doesn't care
他不吹口哨，因为他对一切事物都不在乎
My boy builds coffins for the rich and the poor
我的男孩为富人和穷人打造棺材
Kings and queens they've all knocked on his door
国王王后都曾拜访过他
Beggars and liars gypsies and thieves
乞丐和骗子 吉普赛人和小偷
They all come to him because he's so eager to please
他们都曾到此走访过 因为他渴望取悦 乐此不疲
My boy builds coffins he makes them all day
我的男孩打造棺材 夙兴夜寐 日复一日
But it's not just for work and it isn't for play
但这一切都不是只为了工作或用来消遣娱乐
He's made one for himself
他为自己打造了一具
One for me too
也有一具棺材是为我打造
One of these days he'll make one for you
总有一天他也会为你打造一具棺材
For you for you for you
为你 为你 为你
My boy builds coffins for better or worse
我的男孩打造棺材 无论好坏
Some say its a blessing some say its a curse
有人说这是福 也有人说这是祸
He fits them together in sunshine or rain
无论晴雨 他都工作 将木材装配到一起来打造棺材
Each one is unique no two are the same
每一具都独一无二
My boy builds coffins and I think it's a shame
我的男孩打造棺材 而我认为这是耻辱
That when each one's been made he can't see it again
每每棺材完工后 他都无法再见到它们
He crafts everyone with love and with care
他用爱与关怀打造每一具棺材
Then it's thrown in the ground it just isn't fair
而棺材们紧接就被埋葬于地下 这不公平
My boy builds coffins he makes them all day
我的男孩打造棺材 夙兴夜寐 日复一日
But it's not just for work and it isn't for play
但这一切都不是只为了工作或用来消遣娱乐
He's made one for himself
他为自己打造了一具
One for me too
也有一具棺材是为我打造
One of these days he'll make one for you
总有一天他也会为你打造一具棺材
For you for you for you
为你 为你 为你
