歌词
All men kill the thing they love
所有人都杀死自己所爱
By all let this,by all let this be heard
不妨听听这世间荒诞
I never saw a man who looked with such a wistful eye
我从没见过这样一个人，用充满渴望的双眼
Upon that little tent of blue which prisoners call the sky
遥望着那被囚犯称为天空的蓝色幕布
And at every drifting cloud that went with sails of silver by
看着那白云像海上的银帆一般徐徐飘过
In Reading Gaol by Reading town there is a pit of shame
雷丁城的雷丁监狱里充斥着罪恶与羞耻
And in it lies a wretched man all eaten by teeth of flame
而那里躺着个可怜的人，早已被火焰的獠牙所吞噬
The man had killed the thing he loved
这个男人杀死了自己所爱
And so he had to die
所以他必须死去
All men kill the thing they love
所有人都杀死自己所爱
By all let this, by all let this be heard
不妨听听这世间荒诞
Some kill their love when they are young
有些人在年轻的时日杀死所爱
And some when they are old
而有些人已垂垂老矣
Some strangle with the hands of lust
有些人用情欲的手扼住爱者的咽喉
Some with the hands of gold
有些人则以金钱之爪
The kindest use a knife
只有最善良的人用一把匕首
Because the dead so soon grow cold
因为这样那死了的可以快些失去温度
And there, till Christ call forth the dead,
直到基督呼唤死者的归去
In silence let him lie
在寂静中将他安放
No need to waste the foolish tear
不必浪费愚蠢的眼泪
Nor heave the windy sigh
也不必让风声呜咽
The man had killed the thing he loved
这个男人杀死了自己所爱
And so he had to die
所以他必须死去
All men kill the thing they love
所有人都杀死自己所爱
By all let this, by all let this be heard

All men kill the thing they love
所有人都杀死自己所爱
By all let this, by all let this be heard
不妨听听这世间荒诞
Some do it with a bitter look
有些人用一个伤人的眼神
Some with a flattering word
有些人用一句沉溺的甜言
The coward does it with a kiss
懦夫用一个亲吻
And the brave man with a sword
而勇士用一把利剑
The man had killed the thing he loved
这个男人杀死了自己所爱
And so he had to die
所以他必须死去
