以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Have you heard of the blind harper
可曾听闻那盲眼琴师
Now he lived in Hogmaven town
他住在霍格梅文小镇
He went down to fair England
远渡重洋至英格兰
To steal King Henry's wanton Brown
欲盗亨利国王的棕色骏马
First he went unto his wife
他先寻至王后跟前
With all the haste as go could he
步履匆匆不敢停歇
This work he said will never go well
此事若无良驹相助
Without the help of our good grey mare
只怕难成他低声叹
Said she you take the good grey mare
她说你牵走这匹好灰马
She'll run o'er hills both low and high
它能翻山越岭如履平地
Go take the halter in your hose
把缰绳藏进你的绑腿
And leave the foal at home with me
将小马驹留在家中陪我
He's up and went to England gone
他起身远赴英格兰
He went as fast as go could he
日夜兼程不敢停歇
And when he got to Carlisle gates
当他抵达卡莱尔城门
Who should be there but King Henry
竟遇见亨利国王伫立门前
Come in come in you blind harper
进来吧 盲眼的竖琴师
And of your music let me hear
让我聆听你的琴音
But up and said the blind harper
但竖琴师起身说道
I'd rather have a stable for my mare
我更想为我的灰马找个马厩
The king looked over his left shoulder
国王向左后方转头
And he said unto his stable groom
吩咐他的马夫道
Go take the poor blind harper's mare
去安置这可怜盲人的母马
And put her beside my wanton brown
就拴在我那匹栗色马旁边
Then he's harped and then he sang
他抚琴轻吟浅唱
Til he played them all so sound asleep
直至众人沉入梦乡
And quietly he took off his shoes
悄然脱下脚上皮鞋
And down the stairs he did creep
蹑足潜下楼梯廊
Straight to the stable door he's gone
径直来到马厩门前
With a tread so light as light could be
步履轻似落叶翩跹
When he opened and went in
当他推门踏入其内
He found thirty steeds and three
三十三骏跃入眼帘
He took the halter from his horse
他从马儿身上解下缰绳
And from his purse he did not fail
从钱袋里掏出物件毫不迟疑
He slipped it over the wanton's nose
将绳索套上那匹烈马的鼻头
And tied it to the grey mare's tail
又系在灰鬃母马的尾后
Then he let her loose at the castle gates
任它奔向城堡大门
She didn't fail to find her way
识途老马自寻归途
She went back to her own colt foal
回到幼驹身旁
Three long hours before the day
黎明前三小时就已返家
Then in the morning at fair daylight
待到黎明破晓时
When they had ended all their cheer
众人宴饮方散尽
Behold the wantong brown had gone
只见棕色骏马已无踪
So had the poor blind harper's mare
盲眼琴师灰马亦消失
Oh Alas said the blind harper
琴师哀叹道苦啊
Ever als that I came here
早知不该来此地
In Scotland I've got a little colt foal
苏格兰尚有小马驹
In England they stole my good grey mare
英格兰却失我良驹
Hold your tongue said King Henry
亨利国王厉声喝止
And all your mournings let them be
莫再为此事哀叹不休
You shall get a far better mare
你将得到更骏的良驹
And well paid shall our colt foal be
幼驹的补偿必令你称心
Again he harped and again he sang
琴弦再起 歌声又扬
The sweetest music he let them hear
天籁之音萦绕殿堂
He was paid for a foal that he never lost
未失幼驹却得厚赏
And three times worth the good grey mare
三倍抵过那匹灰马王
He was paid for a foal that he never lost
未失幼驹却得厚赏
And three times worth the good grey mare
还有比那匹灰色母马珍贵三倍的补偿
