The Ballad Of Casey Deiss - Shawn Phillips
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Twas a man of youthful features
那是个面容年轻的男子
Twas a boy of sorrowful eyes
眼中却盛满忧伤的男孩
Watching out but looking inward
眺望远方却凝视内心
Tall and stately and full of life
高大挺拔 生机盎然
In his life he spoke but rarely
一生寡言少语
In his mind he cried for light
心中渴求光明
Painting perceptions trying to capture
用画笔捕捉所见
That which he saw in his questioning strife
在追问中挣扎求索
Once in lisbon twice in London
曾驻足里斯本 又两度徘徊伦敦
Travelling around for all of his time
终其一生都在漂泊流浪
Looking for and finding a goddess
寻觅并邂逅了心中的女神
He took diana to be his wife
他迎娶戴安娜作为新娘
Of the children they'd begotten
他们孕育的孩子们啊
Two had died without knowing life
两个未及绽放便凋零
And the third I know not whereof
第三个下落无从知晓
But if she lives she will yet be kind
若尚在人世 定心怀慈悲
Casey had a mark of simple value
凯西身上带着质朴的印记
He had a star between his eyes
他眉间嵌着一颗星辰
In his hands he held an axe blade
手中紧握斧刃寒光
The greek symbol of thunder and fire
那是希腊神话中雷霆与火焰的象征
On a night when the heavens were crying
当夜空倾泻泪水的夜晚
He went down and took his blade
他提着利斧走向苍茫
Chopping wood to warm his hearthside
劈开柴木温暖壁炉时
The lightning came and my brother die
闪电降临 带走了我的兄长
Bring him no wine from faraway vineyards
莫要为他斟上远方的葡萄美酒
Tell him no tales of the canyon's might
莫要向他诉说峡谷的雄伟传奇
But wish him peace and eternal wisdom
唯愿赐他安宁与永恒的智慧
For he has died and he died in light
因他已逝 却沐浴圣光而逝
