歌词
New Stanzas for Amazing Grace
奇异恩典的新韵脚
Allen Ginsberg 艾伦·金斯堡 作 惠明 译
I dreamed I dwelled in a homeless place
我梦见我流浪街头
Where I was lost alone
孑然一身
Folk looked right through me into space
人们经过我的时候
And passed with eyes of stone
如同经过空气，只有冷漠眼神
O homeless hand on many a street
啊，无家可归的手掌向路人乞讨
Accept this change from me
请接受我命运的转折
A friendly smile or word is sweet
给我友善的微笑或词语，都好
As fearless charity
施以无畏的施舍
Woe workingman who hears the cry
唉，劳动者虽听到我在呼号
And cannot spare a dime
却无力分给我一毛
Nor look into a homeless eye
也不看这双无家可归的眼睛
Afraid to give the time
他们惜时如金
So rich or poor no gold to talk
富人啊穷人啊，我不求你们把黄金给我
A smile on your face
只求微笑出现在你们的脸
The homeless ones where you may walk
当你经过那些无家可归者
Receive amazing grace
他们会得到你奇异的恩典
I dreamed I dwelled in a homeless place
我梦见我流浪街头
Where I was lost alone
孑然一身
Folk looked right through me into space
人们经过我的时候
And passed with eyes of stone
如同经过空气，只有冷漠眼神
