歌词
The Old Man - Kate Rusby
There was an old man who lived in a wood
森林里住着一位老人
As you can plainly see
你一眼便可以望见
He said he could do as much work in a day
他说他一天干的活儿
As his wife could do in three
做够他的老伴干上三天
With all my heart the woman she said
她老伴说 你说话怎么不凭良心
If that's what you will allow
如果你觉得可以的话
Tomorrow you'll stay at home in my stead
明天你代替我呆在家里
And I go drive the plough
我去耕地
But you must milk our Tidy the cow
你得给那只叫泰迪的 奶牛挤奶
For fear she will go dry
不然就挤不出来了
You must feed the littlest pigs
小猪也由你来喂
That are within the sty
它们被关在猪圈
And you must mind the speckled hen
你也要留意那只斑点母鸡
For fear she'll lay away
不然它把蛋下在了别处
And then you must reel the spool of yarn
然后你还要把棉线卷成一团
That I spun yesterday
我昨天刚纺出来的
The woman she took up her staff in her hand
他的老伴打点好一切
And she went to drive the plough
真出去耕地了
The old man took up a pale in his hand
老人也拿着瓢
And he went to milk the cow
挤牛奶去了
But Tidy hinched and Tidy flinched
但是泰迪不肯就范 扭扭捏捏
And Tidy broke his nose
泰迪弄伤了他的鼻子
And Tidy she gave to him such a big blow
泰迪让他乘奶的碗什么也没有
The poor man took to his toes
可怜的老人灰头土脸
Hi Tidy home Tidy
泰迪啊 快回家去
Tidy thou stand still
泰迪一动不动
If ever I'm ill be tidy again
要是让我再服侍一次泰迪
Be sore against my will
我非疯了不可
He went to feed the little pigs
他喂猪去了
That were within the sty
小猪都在猪圈里
He hit his big head upon a thick beam
他用大棒子打它们的脑袋
And he made his red blood fly
小猪们鲜血飞溅
He went to find the speckledy hen
他又找斑点母鸡去了
For fear she'd lay astray
以免它把蛋下在外面
Forgot to reel the spool of yarn
可还是把卷线的事忘了
His wife spun yesterday
他的老伴昨天纺好的线
He swore by the sun the moon the stars
老人对着太阳 月亮 星星
The green leaves on the tree
对着树上的树叶说道
If his wife didn't do a days work in her life
要不是他的老伴代替他干了一天的活
She won't be ruled by he
他现在还会觉得老伴不如他呢
There was an old man who lived in a wood
森林里住着一位老人
As you can plainly see
你一眼便可以望见
He said he could do as much work in a day
他说他一天干的活儿
As his wife could do in three
做够他的老伴干上三天
With all my heart the woman she said
她老伴说 你说话怎么不凭良心
If that's what you will allow
如果你觉得可以的话
Tomorrow you'll stay at home in my stead
明天你代替我呆在家里
And I go drive the plough
我去耕地
