歌词
The jeweler
有位珠宝商
Has a shop
开了一家店
On the corner of the boulevard
在林荫大道的拐角
In the night
夜里
In small spectacles
他拿着小眼镜
He polishes old coins
把旧硬币擦亮
He uses spit and cloth and ashes
用唾液，布和灰
He makes them shine with ashes
他用灰使它们闪亮
He knows the use of ashes
他深谙灰的用途
He worships God with ashes
他用灰向上帝祷告
The coins are often very old
硬币们大都十分陈旧
By the time they reach the jeweler
当它们到珠宝店时
With his hands and ashes
他用手和灰
He will try the best he can
他将尽他所能
He knows that he can only shine them
他知道他只能让它们闪亮
Cannot repair the scratches
但无法修复划痕
He knows that even new coins have scars
他知道即使是新的硬币也会有痕迹
So he just smiles
所以他只是笑了笑
He knows the use of ashes
他深谙灰的用途
He worships God with ashes
他用灰向上帝祷告
In the darkest of the night
在夜最深处
Both his hands will blister badly
他的双手会起水泡
They will often open painfully
水泡大都疼痛地开裂
And the blood flows from hishands
接着血从他手中流出
He works to take from black coin faces
他的工作是擦去硬币的小黑脸儿
The thumbprints from so many ages
上面的指纹经年累月
He wishes he could cure the scars
他希望可以把硬币修复到崭新如初
When he forgets he sometimes cries
当他忘记时会在不经意间流泪
He knows the use of ashes
他深谙灰的用途
He worships God with ashes
他用灰向上帝祷告
He knows
他知道---
