Work Life out to Keep Life In - Martin Carthy
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Oh the working man as you can see
看那勤劳的工薪阶层
That is what he was born to be
这就是他们与生俱来的宿命
Married to the working wife
娶了同样勤劳的妻子
That is what she'll be all her life
这就是她一生的轨迹
Never lived beyond their means
从不挥霍超出能力
Nor sought assistance from their friends
也未曾向朋友寻求接济
Yet day and night through thick and thin
无论晴雨昼夜不息
They work life out just to keep life in
辛勤劳作只为维持生计
No matter friends whate'er befall
无论命运如何降临
The poor folk they must work or fall
贫苦之人唯有劳作或沉沦
Through frost and snow through sleet and wind
穿越霜雪 顶着寒风冷雨
They work life out just to keep life in
辛勤劳作只为维持生计
Do you see the women how make the gowns
可曾见缝制华服的女子们
For those in other parts of town
为城中另一端的贵人
It's a picture sorrowful to see
这景象令人心碎神伤
And I'm sure with me you will agree
相信你也会与我同感
Meagre is our daily pay
微薄薪水度日难
To feed and clad a family with
养家糊口苦支撑
She's overworked she's tired and thin
她劳累过度形憔悴
She works life out just to keep life in
拼命工作为生存
No matter friends whate'er befall
无论命运如何降临
The poor folk they must work or fall
贫苦之人唯有劳作或沉沦
Through frost and snow through sleet and wind
穿越霜雪 顶着寒风冷雨
They work life out just to keep life in
辛勤劳作只为维持生计
Oh mischief mine where do you roam
哦 我的小淘气 你流浪何方
When reason called you weren't at home
理智呼唤时 你却不在家
If you take cheese from off the rat
若你偷走老鼠的奶酪
Is he then free to hunt the cat
它是否就能自由捕猫
If free from union's free from dues
若脱离工会便免会费
Are you free from choice or free to choose
你是失去选择还是获得自由
Or free as any birds blown by the wind
或如随风飘荡的鸟儿般自由
To work life out just to keep life in
为生存而劳作一生
No matter friends whate'er befall
无论命运如何降临
The poor folk they must work or fall
贫苦之人唯有劳作或沉沦
Through frost and snow through sleet and wind
穿越霜雪 顶着寒风冷雨
They work life out just to keep life in
辛勤劳作只为维持生计
