Slavin' away
辛勤劳作
All for you my love
一切为你，我的爱
And I've nothin' to show for it
却一无所获
Cept my dusty old book full of pictures
除了一本满是照片的旧书
A dusty old book
一本尘封的旧书
Tell me a story
给我讲个故事吧
Bout how I wasn't so tired
关于我曾如何不知疲倦
From my slavin' away
辛勤劳作的故事
I ran off
我逃离了
Put on corduroy knickers that I got from the coal shovelin' kid
穿上从铲煤小子那儿得来的灯芯绒短裤
And hitchhiked in a rickety old ford
搭上一辆破旧的福特车
Hitchhiked in a rattly old norton side car
又搭上一辆吱嘎作响的诺顿边车
Down strange roads
驶向陌生的道路
In the purrin' rain as the poet put it
在诗人所说的细雨中
On up to st Paul
一路前往圣保罗
On a cold day in the middle of the fall
那是一个寒冷的深秋日子
And they picked me up for not wearin' a dress
他们因为我没穿裙子而抓了我
And suspended my sentence
并暂停了我的判决
If I wore somethin' with a strap that was pink
如果我穿了一件带粉色肩带的东西
And I scrubbed up on somebody's sink
我在某人的水槽里擦洗
So now I catch the canadian pacific
现在我搭乘加拿大太平洋铁路
And not be too specific just somewhere up north
不要太具体 只是往北去某个地方
And get into lumber and slumber when I like
我喜欢时就伐木和睡觉
And in the spring ride down into cheyenne on my bike
春天时骑自行车去夏延
I looked out the window
我望向窗外
And I stuck my head out the door
将头探出门外
And the snow was melting so slow
雪缓缓融化
And the sky was light but so gray
天空虽亮却灰暗
Slavin' away
辛勤劳作
And all for nothin' my love
一切却徒劳无功，我的爱
Cookin' and washin' in the morning
清晨做饭洗衣
And startin' at 9:25
从九点二十五分开始
I assemble six boxes of little plastic christmas trees
我组装了六盒小塑料圣诞树
And put in the blue leds
并装上了蓝色LED灯
On kid toy cell phones with borg batteries
在孩子们的玩具手机上，用的是博格电池
And then on to the sewing machine
然后继续操作缝纫机
Stick the labels on purple T-shirts
把标签贴在紫色T恤上
And the arms on pull-over jumpers for the uk
还有为英国准备的套头毛衣的袖子
Slavin' away
辛勤劳作
All for you my love
一切为你，我的爱
And I've nothin' to show for it
却一无所获
I've nothin' to show for it
我一无所有
I could see her lookin' in the mirror at me
我看见她在镜中凝视着我
Wonderin' if it wasn't plain for everyone to see
疑惑是否所有人都能看穿这一切
Nothin' ever seemed to turn out how it might be
事情似乎从未如预期般发展
I could see her doubting now that all had gone and went
我能感觉到她在怀疑，一切是否都已逝去
That anything she got was equal what that she'd spent
她所得到的一切 都与她的付出相当
That she never seemed to get back what that she'd lent
她似乎从未收回她所借出的
Anyway they did have a son
无论如何 他们有了一个儿子
And by the time he was married and I played at his wedding too at holy trinity
当他结婚时 我也在圣三一教堂的婚礼上演奏
I was choir director myself
我自己担任合唱团指挥
Rehearsals in the basement twice a week
每周在地下室排练两次
I demanded we'd be in peak condition
我要求我们必须处于最佳状态
And everything seemed to be going quite well
一切似乎都进展得相当顺利
I got along well with the priest
我与牧师相处得颇为融洽
