Tam Lin - Fairport Convention
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I forbid you maidens all that wear gold in your hair
我告诫所有金发少女们
To travel to Carter Hall for young Tam Lin is there
莫要前往卡特尔大厅 因塔姆林驻守彼方
None that go by Carter Hall but they leave him a pledge
凡经卡特尔大厅之人 皆须留下信物为凭
Either their mantles of green or else their maidenhead"
不是翠绿斗篷披风 便是少女贞洁之身
Janet tied her kirtle green a bit above her knee
珍妮特将绿裙系至膝上
And she's gone to Carter Hall as fast as go can she
她疾驰奔向卡特尔大厅
She'd not pulled a double rose a rose but only two
她刚摘下两朵并蒂玫瑰
When up there came young Tam Lin says "Lady pull no more"
年轻的塔姆林上前说道:"姑娘别再采摘了"
"And why come you to Carter Hall without command from me "
"你为何擅自来到卡特尔大厅 未经我的允许"
"I'll come and go" young Janet said "and ask no leave of thee"
"我来去自由"珍妮特答道 "何须向你请示"
Janet tied her kirtle green a bit above her knee
珍妮特将绿裙系至膝上
And she's gone to her father as fast as go can she
她匆匆赶回父亲身边
Well up then spoke her father dear and he spoke meek and mild
慈父轻声细语开口道
"Oh and alas Janet " he said "I think you go with child"
"唉 珍妮特啊"他说 "你怕是已有身孕"
"Well if that be so " Janet said "myself shall bear the blame
"若真如此"珍妮特说 "我自当承担后果"
There's not a knight in all your hall shall get the baby's name
满堂骑士无人能知晓这婴孩的名讳
For if my love were an earthly knight as he is an elfin grey
若吾爱是凡尘骑士而非精灵灰影
I'd not change my own true love for any knight you have"
我绝不将真心所爱换作你任何骑士
Janet tied her kirtle green a bit above her knee
珍妮特将绿裙系至膝上
And she's gone to Carter Hall as fast as go can she
她疾驰奔向卡特尔大厅
"Oh tell to me Tam Lin " she said "why came you here to dwell "
"哦 告诉我 塔姆林"她问 "为何在此栖身"
"The Queen of Faeries caught me when from my horse I fell
"仙后在我坠马时 将我囚禁于此
And at the end of seven years she pays a tithe to hell
七年期满之时 她要将我献祭给地狱"
I so fair and full of flesh and feared it be myself
我如此美丽丰腴 却害怕面对真实的自己
But tonight is Hallowe'en and the faery folk ride
但今夜是万圣节 精灵们正策马巡游
Those that would their true love win at Miles Cross they must buy
欲得真爱之人 须在米尔十字路口守候
So first let past the horses black and then let past the brown
先让黑马经过 再让棕马前行
Quickly run to the white steed and pull the rider down
快奔向那白马 将骑士拽落马鞍
For I'll ride on the white steed the nearest to the town
我要骑上那匹白马 最靠近城镇的那匹
For I was an earthly knight they give me that renown
因我曾是凡间骑士 他们赐予我这般声名
Oh they will turn me in your arms to a newt or a snake
啊 他们会在你怀中将我变成蝾螈或毒蛇
But hold me tight and fear not I am your baby's father
抱紧我别害怕 我是你孩子的父亲
And they will turn me in your arms into a lion bold
他们将把我变成一头威猛的雄狮
But hold me tight and fear not and you will love your child
抱紧我别畏惧 你会深爱我们的孩子
And they will turn me in your arms into a naked knight
他们将让我在你怀中化作赤裸骑士
But cloak me in your mantle and keep me out of sight"
用斗篷裹住我 别让他们看见
In the middle of the night she heard the bridle ring
午夜时分她听见马铃声响起
She heeded what he did say and young Tam Lin did win
谨记他的嘱托 珍妮特赢得了塔姆林
Then up spoke the Faery Queen an angry queen was she
精灵女王怒不可遏 厉声呵斥道
Woe betide her ill-fought face an ill death may she die
愿厄运降临她狰狞的面容 愿她不得好死
"Oh had I known Tam Lin " she said "what this knight I did see
"啊 早知如此 塔姆林"她叹道 "我怎会遇见这位骑士
I have looked him in the eyes and turned him to a tree
我曾直视他的双眼 却将他化作一棵树
