歌词
We run along, and we come up with this idea to go down to the stream and check it out for fish.
我们一起跑开 想出一个点子 去河的下游抓鱼
So we're down by the river, downstream.
于是我们就往河的下游走
There's half a foot of water in there.
那里有半英尺深的水
Little silver fish, but nothing substantial, 'til one of their boys calls us further down.
银色的小鱼 但没有什么实质性 直到他们中的一个男孩叫我们再往下走
Lying in the water is a wee foal, four or five days old.
躺在水里是一个小马 四五天大的模样
He's all skin and bones, gray collar, and he's got flecks of blood on his coat, 'cause he's cut himself up really badly on the sharp rocks.
他骨瘦如柴 灰色的脖子 他身上有血 他用尖锐的石头把自己伤得很重
We're just standing over him and you can see his back leg's snapped.
我们正站在他身上 可以看到 他的后腿断了
And he's breathing, he's alive, but just about.
他还在呼吸 还活着 但也活不久了
So this big conversation gets started up between the boys who suddenly reckon themselves the leaders, and they're deliberating as to what we should do.
所以便有了一个严肃的讨论 在这些断定自己是主导人的男孩中 他们在考虑下一步该怎么做
Someone says "Drop a rock on his head", but I'm looking in their faces and I can see they're either scared stiff or clueless; it's all bravado.
有人说“用石头砸他的头” 但我看到他们要么害怕或不敢 反正都是虚张声势
And this foal on the ground, in real pain, all this chitchat going on, going nowhere.Next thing, one of the priests sees us, sees the foal, tells us not to move and we're done for, really done for.
小马躺在地上 极度痛苦 而我们只能继续谈话 哪儿也去不了 接下来 一个牧师看到我们 也看到了小马 让我们别动 我们完了 真的完了
Group of boys will always get the blame for hurting a foal.
我们会因伤害小马而被责备
Group of Belfast boys will get a hammering for sure.
贝尔法斯特男孩团体会被狠狠揍一顿
So it's clear to me in an instant, and I'm down on my knees, and I take the foal's head in my hands and I put him underwater.
所以在那个瞬间我很清醒 我跪在地上 把小马的头放在我的膝盖上 把他压到水里
He's thrashing around a bit to start, so I press down harder until he's drowned.
他一开始不断挣扎 所以我更加用力 直到他一动不动
Priest arrives, though.
牧师还是来了
He's grabbing me by the hair, dragging me through the woods, promising me a proper punishment, but I knew I did the right thing by that wee foal, and I could take the punishment for all our boys.
他抓住我的头发 拖着我穿过树林 以合理的理由惩罚我 但我知道我为小马做了正确的选择 我愿意为所有的男孩接受惩罚
I had the respect of them other boys now, and I knew that.
我知道 现在我在他们中有了威严
I'm clear of the reasons,
我很清楚原因
Dom. I'm clear of all the repercussions.Dom
我很清楚这一切的影响
But I will act, and I will not stand by and do nothing.
但我会行动 我不会袖手旁观 不会无所作为
