Songs Title：long black veil
长长的黑纱
十年前在一个寒冷阴暗的夜晚
Ten years ago on a cold dark night,
在市政厅的灯下 有人被杀死
Someone was killed ‘neath the Town Hall light
目击者一致认为
The people who saw they all agreed
那潜逃的杀人犯看上去与我十分相像
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me.
法官说：“孩子，你有不在场证明吗？
The judge said, “son, what is your alibi?
如果你当时出现在别处
If you were somewheres else,
那么你将逃过一死。”
Then you won’t have to die”.
我一言不发，尽管这关系着我的生命
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life,
因为我正在我最好的朋友的妻子怀中
For I’d been in the arms of my best friend’s wife.
她穿着长长的黑纱 穿行过那些山丘
She walks these hills in a long black veil,
在晚风低泣时拜访我的墓碑
Visits my grave when the night winds wail,
没有人知道 没有人看见
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
没有人知道 除了我
Nobody knows, but me.
绞刑架高耸着 永恒正在靠近
The scaffold is high, eternity near,
她站在人群中 她没有落下一滴泪水
She stands in the crowd, she sheds not a tear,
但有时在夜晚 当寒风呼啸
But sometimes at night, when the cold winds moan,
她会穿着长长的黑纱 对着我的骸骨哭泣
In a long black veil she cries o’er my bones.
她穿着长长的黑纱 穿行过那些山丘
She walks these hills in a long black veil,
在晚风低泣时拜访我的墓碑
Visits my grave when the night winds wail,
没有人知道 没有人看见
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
没有人知道 除了我
Nobody knows, but me.
