The Bedmaking - Martin Carthy

The Bedmaking - Martin Carthy
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Me father he was a good old man
父亲是个善良的老好人
He put me to service when I was very young
我年少时就被送去帮佣
Me missus and me we never could agree
与女主人总是争执不休
Because that my master he would love me
只因老爷对我暗生情愫
Missus sent me all upstairs to the loft
女主人将我赶到阁楼上
To make up a bed both neat and soft
命我铺好柔软整洁的床
Master followed after with a gay gold ring
老爷随后带着金戒指来
Saying Betty have this for your bedmaking
说这是给我铺床的犒赏
All through the kitchen and down through the hall
穿过厨房 走过长廊
All through the parlour among the women all
穿过客厅 在女眷身旁
Master followed up with a gay gold ring
老爷追来 递上金戒指闪亮
Saying Betty have this for your bedmaking
说这是给我铺床的犒赏
Missus come upstairs in a great haste
夫人匆匆上楼来
Caught the master there with his arm round me waist
撞见老爷搂着我腰肢不放
From the top to the bottom she did him fling
从顶到底 她将他推搡
Saying master take that for your bedmaking
说"老爷收好 你的铺床犒赏"
All through the kitchen and down through the hall
穿过厨房 走过长廊
All through the parlour among the women all
穿过客厅 在女眷身旁
Everybody asked me wherever I had been
人人都问我去了何方
And they laughed when I said
当我说在铺床时
At the bedmaking
她们哄笑一场
Mistress she flung me out of the door
女主人将我赶出门外
She called me a nasty cheeky little whore
骂我是个不知羞耻的贱人
The weather being wet and my clothes being thin
阴雨连绵衣衫单薄
How I wished I was back at the bedmaking
多渴望重回铺床叠被的时光
Six month over and seven month past
六月流逝七月蹉跎
Pretty fair maid grew thick about the waist
窈窕女仆腰身渐丰
Her stays wouldn't meet nor her pinafore pin
束衣难系围裙难扣
She cried when she thought of the bedmaking
忆及昔日枕衾泪落
Eight month over and nine month gone
八月飞逝九月将尽
Pretty fair maid had a beautiful son
少女诞下玲珑婴孩
She's took him to the church she had him christened John
她带他去教堂 受洗命名约翰
And she took him back again to the dear old man
又将他抱回 那负心人的门前
She cursed him through the kitchen and down through the hall
她咒骂着穿过厨房 咒骂声回荡厅廊
Cursed him through the parlour among the women all
在满屋女眷面前 将怨恨倾泻在客厅中央
Saying if you won't pay me take your little son John
若你不肯负责 就把小约翰带走
Cos he never cost you nothing but the bedmaking
他不过是你床笫之欢 欠下的孽债
