Well, Frankie Lee and Judas Priest,

Judas quickly pulled out a roll of tens

And placed them on a footstool

Just above the plotted plain,

Sayin', "Take your pick, Frankie Boy,"

My loss will be your gain."

Well, Frankie Lee, he sat right down

And put his fingers to his chin,

His head began to spin.
一股眩晕感涌了上来
"Would ya please not stare at me like that," he said,"
不要这样盯着我,"他说
"It's just my foolish pride,"
呃,这只是出于我的自尊罢了。
But sometimes a man must be alone

Before they all disappear."

And said, "Eternity!"

永生？”弗兰肯·李迷惑不解
With a voice as cold as ice.

"That's right," said Judas Priest, "Eternity,“
没错，”犹大说：“永生
Though you might call it 'Paradise.'

"I don't call it anything,"
我不知道怎么形容它
Said Frankie Lee with a smile.

"All right," said Judas Priest,

Well, Frankie Lee, he sat back down,
弗兰肯·李又坐回去
Feelin' low and mean,

When just then a passing stranger

Burst upon the scene,

Saying, "Are you Frankie Lee, the gambler,Whose father is deceased?

There's a fellow callin' you down the road

And they say his name is Priest."

Said Frankie Lee in fright

"I do recall him very well,“

In fact, he just left my sight."

"Yes, that's the one," said the stranger,“
是的，就是他，”陌生人说着，
As quiet as a mouse,
气氛安静得可以听到老鼠
"Well, my message is, he's down the road,“

Stranded in a house."
困在一幢房子里。”
Well, Frankie Lee, he panicked,

He dropped ev'rything and ran

Until he came up to the spot
直到他赶到指定的地点
Where Judas Priest did stand.

"What kind of house is this," he said,“
这是什么样的房子，”他问，
"Where I have come to roam?"“
我现在走了多远了？”
"It's not a house," said Judas Priest,“
这不是一幢房子，”犹大说，
"It's not a house . . . it's a home."
“不是房子...是家。”
Well, Frankie Lee, he trembled,
弗兰肯·李身体颤抖
He soon lost all control
他瞬间失去了意识
Over ev'rything which he had made
包括他所做的一切
While the mission bells did toll.
当教堂的钟声回响
He just stood there staring
他伫立在那凝视着
At that big house as bright as any sun,
如烈日般闪耀的房
With four and twenty windows
囊括着四室二十窗
And a woman's face in ev'ry one.
每间里都有一女子
Well, up the stairs ran Frankie Lee
弗兰肯·李跑上楼顶
With a soulful, bounding leap,
伴随着疯狂的大跳
And, foaming at the mouth,
他的唇边冒出白沫
He began to make his midnight creep.
他开始做白日大梦
For sixteen nights and days he raved,
十六个日夜的混沌
But on the seventeenth he burst
终在十七日时清醒
Into the arms of Judas Priest,
卧倒在犹大的臂间
Which is where he died of thirst.
他曾将渴死在此处
No one tried to say a thing
无人试图发起话题
When they took him out in jest,
众人视他如一笑柄
Except, of course, the little neighbor boy
当然除了他的邻男
Who carried him to rest.
将他背去休养生息
And he just walked along, alone,
而他只是独自漫步
With his guilt so well concealed,
把其罪行完善隐瞒
And muttered underneath his breath,
轻声在呼吸下低语
"Nothing is revealed."“
什么也没有被启示”
Well, the moral of the story,
一则寓言
The moral of this song,
换来一曲寓言
Is simply that one should never be
警示着一个人从不该
Where one does not belong.
待在不属于他的地方
So when you see your neighbor carryin' somethin',
所以当你看到你的邻居扛着什么时
Help him with his load,
快过去帮他一把
And don't go mistaking Paradise
也不要进入错的天堂
For that home across the road.
如那个路对面的梦乡
