It was a cold night

I pulled my coat tight

Against the falling down

抵御风雪飘寒

And the sun was all

And the sun was all down

太阳已完全落山

And the sun was all

And the sun was all down

I am a poor man

I haven't wealth nor fame

财富名望两不占

I have my two hands

And a house to my name

和名下老房一间

And the winter's so

而这个冬天如此

And the winter's so long

而这个冬天如此漫漫

And the winter's so

而这个冬天如此

And the winter's so long

And all the stars were crashing 'round

As I laid eyes on what I found

我定睛望去只发现

It was a white crane

It was a helpless thing

Upon a red stain

它受伤中箭

With an arrow its wing

翅膀上血迹斑斑

And it called and cried

And it called and cried so

Beneath the rising moon

And she stood to fly

My crane wife arrived at my door in the moonlight

我的鹤妻乘着月光来到我的门前

All star bright and tongue-tied I took her in

群星灿烂，我哑然带她走进房间

We were married and bells rang sweet for our wedding

And our bedding was ready when we fell in

而我们的婚床等着我们沉陷

Sound the keening bell

敲响那挽钟

And see it's painted red

眼看它染红

Soft as fontanel

柔软如囟门

The feathers in the thread

丝线中的羽绒

When all I ever meant to do was to keep you

我以为我做的一切都是为了养活你

We were poorly, our fortunes fading hourly

And how she vowed me, she could bring it back

But I was greedy, I was vain and I forced her to weaving

可是我贪婪又虚荣，我强迫她去织

On cold loom, in a closed room, with down wove

Sound the keening bell
