Derby Day - Christy Moore

Derby Day - Christy Moore
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Bishop walked in circles inside the cloistered wall
主教在回廊内踱步徘徊
Pondering in solitude on leather soles
皮靴轻响 独自沉思
Just outside the palace down on his wretched knees
宫墙外紫丁香树下
Husband begged for whiskey beneath the lilac trees
丈夫屈膝讨要威士忌
Over in the courthouse Judge sat wrestling with a yawn
法庭里法官困倦挣扎
Wondering would the gardener pluck the daisies off the lawn
想着园丁会否摘除雏菊
Annoyed and irritated by a
被一个"有罪"女人的哀鸣
“guilty” woman's whine
惹得烦躁难耐
Poor wife pleading innocence to an alleged crime
可怜的妻子为莫须有的罪名辩解清白
Next day was a Derby Day down on the Curragh plains
次日赛马日在库拉平原如期举行
Dry old men of cloth and silk watched the sport of kings
身着丝绸的老绅士们观赏着贵族运动
Meanwhile back down the town a husband battered down the door
此刻小镇上丈夫破门而入
Beat his wife around the face and kicked her to the floor
拳脚相加将妻子打倒在地
Husband took his own life wife passed away
丈夫自尽 妻子香消玉殒
Judge donned his veil of sorrow
法官戴上悲恸的面纱
Put the children into care
将孩子们送进福利院
They became God's little orphans
他们成了上帝遗落的小羊
Learned to serve and to obey
学会顺从与沉默
To be unobtrusive when Bishop knelt to pray
当主教跪地祷告时 便静静退到一旁
