The Butcher
I came upon a butcher,
我路遇一个屠夫，
he was slaughtering a lamb,
他正宰杀一只羔羊，
I accused him there
我当即谴责他
with his tortured lamb.
为那只受尽折磨的羔羊。
He said, "Listen to me, child,
他说，“听我说，孩子，
I am what I am
我便是我
and you, you are my only son."
而你，你是我唯一的儿子。”
Well, I found a silver needle,
我找到一根银色的针，
I put it into my arm.
我把它扎进我的胳膊。
It did some good,
它形成一些好处，
did some harm.
形成一些伤害。
But the nights were cold
可寒夜凄冷
and it almost kept me warm,
那针几乎令我保持温暖，
how come the night is long?
夜怎会如此漫长？
I saw some flowers growing up
我看见一些花长在
where that lamb fell down;
那羔羊倒下的地方；
was I supposed to praise my Lord,
我应该赞美我主，
make some kind of joyful sound?
发出某种喜悦之声么？
He said, "Listen, listen to me now,
他说，“现在听我说，
I go round and round
我兜兜转转
and you, you are my only child."
而你，你是我唯一的孩子。”
Do not leave me now,
不要离开我，
do not leave me now,
不要离开我，
I'm broken down
最近的一次跌倒
from a recent fall.
已令我完全衰竭。
Blood upon my body
我身上是血
and ice upon my soul,
心上是冰，
lead on, my son, it is your world.
前行吧，孩子，这是你的世界。
