歌词与中文翻译
arranged and adapted by Loreena McKennitt
.
一名铁匠曾追求我
A blacksmith courted me
就在九个月之前或者更早
Nine months and better
他完全赢得了我的心
He fairly won my heart
他写给我一封信
Wrote me a letter
手持锤子的他
With his hammer in his hand
看上去很聪明
He looked quite clever
如果我能与爱人一起
And if I was with my love
我将永生
Id live forever.
但是我的爱人已经离去
他的脸颊红如玫瑰
But where is my love gone
他戴着黑色小礼帽
With his cheeks like roses
上面装饰有樱草
And his good black Billycock on
我害怕灼热的太阳
Decked round with primroses
辉灼伤他的美丽面容
Im afraid the scorching sun
如果能与爱人在一起
Will shine and burn his beauty
我将尽到责任
And if I was with my love
奇怪的消息传到城镇
Id do my duty.
奇怪的消息四散开来
奇怪的消息在四处传播
Strange news is coming to town
那便是爱人已经结婚
Strange news is carried
我祝愿他们快乐
Strange mews flies up and down
虽然他们容不下我
That my love is married.
愿上帝赐福他
I wish them both much joy
就算对于我受到忽视的补偿
Though they cant hear me
你不记得了吗
And may God reward him well
你躺在我身边
For the slighting of me.
说是要娶我
不要拒绝我
Dont you remember when
如果我说过要娶你
You lay beside me
那只是为了试探你
And you said youd marry me
带上你的见证者，我的爱人
And not deny me
我不会拒绝你
If I said Id marry you
我没有一位见证者
It was only for to try you
除了全能的神
So bring your witness love
愿祂祝福你
And Ill not deny you.
就算对于我受到忽视的补偿
她的嘴唇苍白无血
No witness have I none
可怜的心在颤抖
Save God Almighty
想想她爱过一个人
And may he reward you well
却被对方欺骗
For the slighting of me
一名铁匠曾追求我
Her lips grew pale and wan
就在九个月之前或者更早
It made a poor heart tremble
他完全赢得了我的心
To think she loved a one
他写给我一封信
And be proved deceitful.
手持锤子的他
看上去很聪明
A blacksmith courted me
如果我能与爱人一起
Nine months and better
我将永生
He fairly won my heart
完
Wrote me a letter
With his hammer in his hand
He looked quite clever
And if I was with my love
Id live forever.
