I Wish That I Never Was Wed - Steeleye Span
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
O ladies take pity on me
姐妹们请怜悯我的遭遇
Let me in your company mingle
让我融入你们的欢愉
I once was merry and free
我曾那般无忧无虑
And like you I was happy and single
如你们般自在独行
Me mother advised me to wed
母亲劝我觅得良缘
For seventeen years I had tarried
蹉跎十七载光阴
So off to the church I did go
终是步入了教堂圣殿
In a trice to a man to be married
转眼间就嫁作人妇
O I wish that I never was wed
真希望从未结过婚
For a short time he loved me sincere
他短暂地真心爱过我
He used me both kindly and civil
也曾温柔体贴相待
The honeymoon scarcely was oer
蜜月期还未结束
When he turned out a quare divil
他就变成了恶魔
The bed he took up on his back
把床扛在肩上
And off to the pawnshop he carried
径直走向当铺
Oft times I wished I was dead
多少次我宁愿死去
Or better I never was married
或从未踏入婚姻的牢笼
O I wish that I never was wed
真希望从未结过婚
To the landlord he won't pay the rent
房东的租金他从不支付
He says that he is not able
推说自己无能为力
There's nothin' now left in the house
如今家中空荡如洗
But two broken chairs and a table
唯余残破桌椅相依
The bedclothes the kettle and broom
被褥水壶和扫帚
Off to the pawnshop he carried
他把家当都送进了当铺
He grunts he snores hoe roars
他打鼾咆哮 粗鲁不堪
O I wish that I never was married
唉 我真希望从未嫁过人
How I wish that I never was wed
多希望从未许下婚约
When he buys the meat once a month
每月若能买次肉
That's if I'm not sadly mistaken
那已算我运气不差
There's nothin' but sheep's head and pluck
只有羊头杂碎
And a bit of sweet liver and bacon
加点咸肉猪肝
He says bread and butter are dear
他说面包黄油太昂贵
And these times are shockingly harried
这世道艰难令人憔悴
All day he drinks whisky and beer
整日威士忌啤酒不离嘴
O I wish that I never was married
唉 我真希望从未嫁过人
O I wish that I never was married
唉 我真希望从未嫁过人
One night he came home in a rage
那夜他醉醺醺回家发狂
He busted me new shoes asunder
把我新鞋撕得粉碎
The cat he kicked into the grate
连猫咪也被他踢进壁炉内
And the table flew out of the window
餐桌被他扔出窗外
The bellows he threw at me head
风箱砸向我的脑袋
Me clothes to the pawnshop he carried
我的衣裳被他典当
That night I wished I was dead
那夜我只求一死
Or better I never was married
或从未踏入婚姻的牢笼
O I wish that I never was wed
真希望从未结过婚
If I was but single again
若能重回单身时
I'd sing and be joyous and merry
我必欢歌笑颜开
I'd laugh I'd shout I'd roar
我会开怀大笑 纵情欢呼
I'd be heard in the kingdom of kerry
让整个凯里王国都听见我的声音
So maidens single remain
所以姑娘们啊 请保持单身
By your time you'll never be harried
珍惜时光 永远别被婚姻束缚
If I was bus single again
若我能重回自由身
By jingo I'd never get married
天作证 我绝不再踏入婚姻
O I wish that I never was wed
真希望从未结过婚
