Don Quixote - David Roth

Through the woodland through the valley
穿越密林 越过山谷
Comes a horseman wild and free
一位骑士纵马而来 狂放不羁
Tilting at the windmills passing
他挑战着路过的风车
Who can the brave young horseman be
这位勇敢的年轻骑士究竟是谁
He is wild but he is mellow
他狂野却又温和
He is strong but he is weak
他强大却也脆弱
He is cruel but he is gentle
他残忍却又温柔
He is wise but he is meek
他睿智却也谦卑
Reaching for his saddlebag
伸手探向马鞍行囊
He takes a battered book into his hand
将一本破旧书籍握在掌中
Standing like a prophet bold
如先知般傲然挺立
He shouts across the ocean to the shore
向着海岸放声呼喊
Till he can shout no more
直至声嘶力竭
I have come o'er moor and mountain
我穿越荒野与山峦
Like the hawk upon the wing
如雄鹰展翅翱翔
I was once a shining knight
曾是光芒万丈的骑士
Who was the guardian of a king
他曾是国王的守护者
I have searched the whole world over
我寻遍世间每个角落
Looking for a place to sleep
只为寻找栖身之所
I have seen the strong survive
目睹强者屹立不倒
And I have seen the lean grown weak
也见证羸弱渐凋落
See the children of the earth
看大地的孩子们醒来
Who wake to find the table bare
面对空荡的餐桌
See the gentry in the country
看乡野间的贵族老爷们
Riding off to take the air
策马迎风去
Reaching for his saddlebag
伸手探向马鞍行囊
He takes a rusty sword into his hand
锈剑紧握掌间
Then striking up a knightly pose
摆出骑士英姿
He shouts across the ocean to the shore
向着海岸放声呼喊
Till he can shout no more
直至声嘶力竭
See the jailor with his key
看那狱卒持钥匙
Who locks away all trace of sin
将罪孽尽数封存
See the judge upon the bench
看那法官端坐法庭之上
Who tries the case as best he can
竭尽所能审理案件
See the wise and wicked ones
看那智者与恶徒
Who feed upon life's sacred fire
蚕食着生命的圣火
See the soldier with his gun
看那持枪的士兵
Who must be dead to be admired
唯有牺牲才能赢得敬仰
See the man who tips the needle
看那拨弄天平之人
See the man who buys and sells
看那买卖交易的商贾
See the man who puts the collar
看那给沉默者戴上枷锁的人
On the ones who dare not tell
看那酒馆里醉醺醺的汉子
See the drunkard in the tavern
为谋生计熔铸黄金
Stemming gold to make ends meet
看那贫民窟黑衣少年
See the youth in ghetto black
被判终生流落街头
Condemned to life upon the street
他伸手探向鞍囊
Reaching for his saddlebag
伸手探向马鞍行囊
He takes a tarnished cross into his hand
紧握手中
Then standing like a preacher now
此刻他如布道者般伫立
He shouts across the ocean to the shore
向着海岸放声呼喊
Then in a blaze of tangled hooves
在纷乱马蹄掀起的烟尘中
He gallops off across the dusty plain
他驰骋过尘土飞扬的荒原
In vain to search again
徒然追寻着
Where no one will hear
无人倾听的远方
Through the woodland through the valley
穿越密林 越过山谷
Comes a horseman wild and free
一位骑士纵马而来 狂放不羁
Tilting at the windmills passing
他挑战着路过的风车
Who can the brave young horseman be
这位勇敢的年轻骑士究竟是谁
He is wild but he is mellow
他狂野却又温和
He is strong but he is weak
他强大却也脆弱
He is cruel but he is gentle
他残忍却又温柔
He is wise but he is meek
他睿智却又谦卑
