John Of Ditchford - Steeleye Span
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
In the spring of thirteen twenty two
一三二二年春
Henry Felip and his son
亨利·菲利普与爱子
Were riding home from Northampton
自北安普顿策马归家
When they met with six bold robbers
忽遇六名凶悍强盗
Henry shouted to his son
亨利急呼其子道
"Take the money boy and run"
"携银钱速逃莫回头"
So he's turned his horse to Courteenhall
少年纵马向科廷霍尔
For to raise the hue and cry
疾呼追捕响彻云霄
His father faced this ugly crew
父亲直面这群凶徒
But six to one what could he do
以一敌六 他无力回天
And when his son returned with help
当儿子带援兵归来时
He was too late to save him
却已来不及挽救
He left his father where he lay
他将父亲留在血泊中
Through his tears to ride that day
含泪策马启程
And pursue the killers in their way
誓要追杀那些亡命之徒
As they made off in the distance
看他们逃向远方
Five of six they swiftly caught
六贼其五 迅即就擒
But one alone did slip their grasp
唯有一人 挣脱围捕
And to Wooten Church he's turned away
遁入伍顿教堂 乞求庇护
And through her doors she's took him
圣殿之门 为他敞开
Sanctuary was his claim
他宣称这是避难圣地
Sword and grief outside remain
利剑与悲愤 皆被阻于门外
Till the Coroner he quickly came
直至验尸官 疾驰而至
To hear the thief's confession
聆听盗贼的临终忏悔
"I'm John of Ditchford” said the man
"我是迪奇福德的约翰"那人说道
“I was there of six our band
"我们六人结伙同行
And yes we killed that nobleman
是的 我们杀害了那位贵族
On the road to Stoke Bruerne"
就在通往斯托克布鲁恩的路上"
"Do you now abjure the realm
"你现在要放弃这片国土吗
What's your meaning " says young John
此话何意"年轻的约翰问道
"You will leave this land and never return
"你将永远离开这片土地不得归来"
Or your blood we will spill on her"
否则我们将用鲜血染红她的土地
"Do you now abjure the realm
"你现在要放弃这片国土吗
I abjure it" says young John
"我放弃" 年轻的约翰回答
"So to Dover you will straightway go
"那么你必须即刻启程前往多佛
And the first ship you will take her"
登上你遇到的第一艘船"
He must reach that distant port
他必须抵达那遥远的港口
Without coin nor shoes nor friend
身无分文 赤足独行
And stand in the ocean to his knees
任凭海水浸没双膝
And wait what ship would have him
且问哪艘船愿载此罪人
They took from him all he had
他们夺走他所有财物
Gave him sackcloth for to wear
只余粗麻布蔽体
And a wooden cross for him to hold
塞给他一具木十字架
On the lonely road to Dover
在通往多佛的孤寂路上
He sets out upon the road
他踏上流放之途
Cross in hand and heavy heart
手握十字架 心怀沉痛
They found him headless in a field
人们发现他身首异处 横尸荒野
A mile away from Wooten
距伍顿仅一英里之遥
