歌词
My grandfather＇s clock
我祖父的钟表
Was too large for the shelf
太大放不到架子上
So it stood ninety years on the floor
因此它在地板上站立了90年
It was taller by half
它足有祖父
Than the old man himself
身高的一半还多
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more
然而它还没有比一英钱更重
它是在祖父出生的
It was bought on the morn
早晨买的
Of the day that he was born
而且一直都是他的珍宝和骄傲
And was always his treasure and pride
但是它不久就停止了——
But it stopped short
再也没有走过——
Never to go again
当老爷子去世后
When the old man died
90年从来没停过
嘀嗒嘀嗒
Ninety years without slumbering
为他生命的每一秒计时
Tick, tock, tick, tock
嘀嗒嘀嗒
His life seconds numbering
但是它不久就停止了——
Tick, tock, tick, tock
再也没有走过——
It stopped short
当老爷子去世后
Never to go again
看着它
When the old man died
摆来摆去
祖父度过了他孩童时期的很多时间
It watching its pendulum
钟表了解祖父的
Swing to and fro
孩童和成年时光
Many hours had he spent while a boy
分享了他的痛苦和欢乐
And in childhood and manhood
当他打开门
The clock seemed to know
它敲了24点钟
And to share both his grief and his joy
伴着一个妙龄漂亮的新娘
但是它不久就停止了——
For it struck twenty-four
再也没有走过——
When he entered at the door
当老爷子去世后
With a blooming and beautiful bride
当他打开门
But it stopped short
它敲了24点钟
Never to go again
伴着一个妙龄漂亮的新娘
When the old man died
但是它不久就停止了——
再也没有走过——
For it struck twenty-four
当老爷子去世后
When he entered at the door
它在他离开的晚上
With a blooming and beautiful bride
敲响了一下——
But it stopped short
之前几年都没有响过;
Never to go again
我们知道他的灵魂
When the old man died
即将飞翔——
他离开的时间到了
It rang an alarm
时钟还是在计时，
In the dead of the night
伴随着轻轻和模糊的鸣响
An alarm that for years had been dumb
我们静静地站在他的身边
And we knew that his spirit
但是它不久就停止了——
Was pluming for flight
再也没有走过——
That his hour of departure had come
当老爷子去世后
90年从来没停过
Still the clock kept the time
嘀嗒嘀嗒
With a soft and muffled chime
为他生命的每一秒计时
As we silently stood by his side
嘀嗒嘀嗒
But it stopped short
但是它不久就停止了——
Never to go again
再也没有走过——
When the old man died
当老爷子去世后
但是它不久就停止了——
Ninety years without slumbering
再也没有走过——
Tick, tock, tick, tock
当老爷子去世后
His life seconds numbering
Tick, tock, tick, tock
It stopped short
Never to go again
When the old man died
It stopped short
Never to go again
When the old man died
