以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
A boy heard the voice of
男孩听见夜鹰的歌声
The whippoorwill one night
在某个夜晚回荡
And went out to find where he was singing
他循声而去 寻找歌者的踪迹
He had to walk quite a ways through a big field
穿过辽阔原野 跋涉漫长路途
Because the song of the whippoorwill
只因夜鹰的啼鸣
Carried so well in the wind
随风飘荡传得悠远
He sounded much closer then he really was
仿佛近在咫尺 实则远在天边
And on the way the boy found a well worn trail
途中男孩发现一条被踩出的小径
So he stayed on it for a while
他在小径上徘徊良久
And sitting in the middle of the trail was coyote
土狼蹲踞在路中央
And coyote was singing too
竟也哼唱着歌谣
He turned and saw the boy and he said
蓦然回首对男孩发问
"Why are you following me "
"为何尾随于我"
The boy was frightened and said
男孩怯生生答道
"Well the trail you made happened to be a short
"你踏出的这条蹊径
And easy way through this field
恰是穿越田野的捷径"
Then coyote asked "Well if you're not following me
土狼问道："既然你不是在追随我
Then why are you here "
那你为何来此？"
"Well I heard the beautiful song of the whippoorwill
"我听见夜鹰那美妙的歌声
And wanted to watch him sing"
想亲眼看他歌唱"
"Well do you not think my songs are beautiful "
"难道你觉得我的歌声不美吗？"
Said coyote
土狼说道
"Oh" said the boy
"噢"男孩回答
"They're good but I hear you all the time
"不错但你的歌声我已听惯"
I much prefer the songs of the whippoorwill"
我更爱夜鹰的婉转啼鸣
This made coyote furious and
这令土狼怒不可遏
He was jealous of the whippoorwill's song
它嫉妒夜鹰的天籁之音
He said "Listen to my night song
它说"听听我的夜曲
You might like this one"
或许你会喜欢"
And he pulled back his head
它昂首挺胸
And yodeled out a tune
发出悠长的嚎叫
The boy covered his ears and politely said
男孩捂住耳朵礼貌回应
"Thank you for the song
"谢谢你的歌声
But I must be going now"
但我必须启程了"
"Well" coyote said
"好吧" 土狼说道
"I can show you a short cut to the whippoorwill boy
"我可以指给你找夜鹰的捷径
And where he sings is just over there"
它唱歌的地方就在那边"
Pointing his claw
它伸出爪子
Smiling out of the side of his mouth
嘴角挂着狡黠的笑
The boy paused looked around
男孩停下脚步 环顾四周
He knew the night was passing fast
他深知夜色将尽
So he agreed to follow coyote
便答应跟随郊狼前行
But coyote's trail was rough and rocky
可郊狼的小道崎岖嶙峋
And the boy fell in quite
男孩不慎跌入
A few gopher holes along the way
沿途的地鼠洞穴中
Coyote turned around and laughed
郊狼转身发出嘲笑
And he yelled to the boy
对着男孩喊道
"We're almost there hurry up"
"快到了 赶紧跟上"
Coyote was at a full trot but the boy
土狼正疾步前行 而那男孩
Had just fallen again and hurt his knee
却再次跌倒 膝盖受伤
And by the time he got to the place
当他终于抵达那片
Where the whippoorwill had been singing all night
夜鹰整夜歌唱的地方
It was morning
已是清晨
Whippoorwill was gone and so was coyote
夜鹰已离去 土狼也无踪
In fact he could hear coyote's songs in another field
他甚至能听见土狼在另一片田野的歌声
So the boy turned and headed for home
于是男孩转身 踏上归途
Covered with burns
满身灼伤痕迹
Mosquito bites and a skinned up knee
蚊虫叮咬与膝盖擦破的伤
And it was many summers later
直到许多个盛夏过后
When the boy became a wiser man
男孩蜕变为智者时才懂得
And he realized there are no shortcuts
他恍然明白这世间
To find something you really love
追寻挚爱从无捷径可走
But there are many trails in this life
人生路上岔道纵横
So you must stay true to your path
愿你始终坚守本心
And always keep and eye out for coyote
永远提防那些狡黠的土狼
