Written by：Traditional/David Oberle

I am a ploughboy stout and strong as ever drove a team
我是个种田的小伙子强壮无比所向披靡
And three years since as I lay a bed I had a dreadful dream
三年前我躺在床上做了一个可怕的梦
I dreamt I drove my master's team three horses travelled far
我梦见我开着我主人的车队三匹马长途跋涉
Before a stiff and armoured plough as all my masters are
就像我所有的主人一样全副武装
I found the ground was baked so hard twas more like bricks than clay
我发现地面被烘烤得如此坚硬与其说是粘土不如说是砖头
I could not cut my furrow through nor would my beasts obey
我无法开沟开沟我的野兽也不会服从
The more I whipped and slashed and swore the less my horses tried
我越是拼命鞭打我的马越是疲惫不堪
Dobbin lay down and belle and star ignored my threats and cries
Dobbin躺下了Belle和Star对我的威胁和呼唤充耳不闻
Till low above me appeared a youth he seemed to hang in air
直到我头顶出现一个年轻人他仿佛悬在半空
And all around a dazzling light which made my eyes to stare
周围一片耀眼的光芒让我目瞪口呆
Give over cruel wretch he cried do not thy beasts abuse
放弃这个残忍的家伙他叫道不要让你的野兽虐待你
Think if the ground was not so hard they would their work refuse
我想如果地面没有那么硬他们会拒绝他们的作品
Besides I heard thee curse and swear as if dumb beasts could know
此外我听到你的咒骂和咒骂仿佛愚蠢的野兽能明白
Just what your oaths and cursing meant it's better far than gold
你的誓言和咒骂意味着这比黄金更珍贵
That you should know that there is one who knows thy sins full well
你应该知道有人对你的罪孽了如指掌
And what shall be thy after doom another shall thee tell
厄运之后你会变成什么样别人会告诉你
No more he said but light as air he vanished from my sight
他没有再多说可他像空气一样轻盈地从我的视线中消失
And with him went the sun's bright beams twas all as dark as night
与他一同到来的是灿烂的阳光一片漆黑
The thunder roared from underground the earth it seemed to gape
雷声从地底呼啸而过仿佛在打呵欠
Blue flames broke forth and in those flames appeared an awful shape
蓝色的火焰喷薄而出在火焰中出现了一个可怕的身影
I soon shall call thee mine he cried with a voice so clear and deep
“我很快就会把你据为己有”他用清澈而深沉的声音大声说道
And quivering like an Aspen leaf I woke out of my sleep
我从睡梦中惊醒像白杨树叶一样瑟瑟发抖
So ponder well you ploughboys all this dream that I have told
所以好好想想吧你们这些乡巴佬我告诉你们的梦想
And if the work goes hard with you its worth your wage in gold
如果你的工作很艰苦那就值得你付出宝贵的金钱
