My Boy Builds Coffins - Florence The Machine

My boy builds coffins with hammers and nails
我的男孩锤敲钉凿地修造棺材
He doesn't build ships he has no use for sails
他不建船舶 他并不想扬帆远航
He doesn't make tables dresses or chairs
他不搭小桌 也不做衣服和板凳
He can't carve a whistle cause he just doesn't care
他不刻哨子 因为他根本不在乎
My boy builds coffins for the rich and the poor
我的男孩为富庶白丁修造棺材
Kings and queens them all knocked on his door
国王和王后都要来敲他的门
Beggars and liars gypsies and thieves
无论是乞丐或是骗子 吉普赛人或是小偷
They all come to impact he's so eager to please
众人全都争前恐后 他也乐此不疲
My boy builds coffins he makes them all day

But it's not just for work and it isn't for play
但这只是工作 并非玩乐
He's made one for himself

One for me too
也为我准备了一个
One of these days he'll make one for you

Some say it's a blessing some say it's a curse
有人说这是祈福 有人说这是灾祸
He fits them together in sunshine or rain
不论天气如何 他都尽力工作
Each one is unique no two are the same
每个作品都独一无二 从不相同
My boy builds coffins and I think it's a shame
我的男孩修造棺材 我感觉很可惜
That when eachones been made he can't see it again
因为每个杰作诞生后 就再也没见过
He crafts every one with love and repair
他手艺精湛 用爱雕刻
Then it's thrown in the ground and it just doesn't fit
但成品终会埋入地下 不见天日
