以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
When she had twenty years
当她二十岁那年
She turned to her mother
转身对母亲说
Saying Mother I know that you'll grieve
妈妈 我知道你会伤心
But I've given my soul to St John the gambler
但我的灵魂已献给赌徒圣约翰
Tomorrow comes time to leave
明日便是离别之时
For the hills cannot hold back
群山无法永远阻挡
My sorrow forever
我无尽的哀伤
And dead men lay deep 'round the door
亡者层层堆积在门前
The only salvation thats mine for the asking
这是我唯一能祈求的救赎
So mother think on me no more
所以母亲 请别再为我牵挂
Winter held high round the mountains breast
寒冬笼罩着山峦胸膛
And the cold of a thousand snows
千重积雪的刺骨严寒
Lay heaped upon the forests leaf
压弯了森林的枝叶
But she dressed in calico
但她仍身着印花棉布裙
For a gambler likes his women fancy
因赌徒偏爱艳丽佳人
Fancy she would be
她注定光彩夺目
And the fire of her longing
炽热的渴望之火
Would keep way the cold
将驱散刺骨严寒
And her dress was a sight to see
华服美得令人屏息
But the road was long beneath the feet
漫漫长路在脚下延伸
She followed her frozen breath
追随凝结的呼吸前行
In search of a certain St John the gambler
寻找赌徒圣约翰的踪迹
Stumbling to her death
踉跄走向命定终点
She heard his laughter
她听见他的笑声
Right down from the mountains
从山间远远传来
And danced with her mothers tears
踏着母亲的泪水起舞
To a funeral drawn a calico
走向花布覆盖的葬礼
'Neath the cross of twenty years
在二十岁的十字架下
To a funeral drawn a calico
走向花布覆盖的葬礼
'Neath the cross of twenty years
在二十岁的十字架下
