Crossroads - Gordon Lightfoot
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
When first I did appear
当我初次降临
Upon this native soil
这片故土之上
All up and down this country
走遍这方天地
At labor I did toil
辛勤劳作奔忙
I slumbered in the moonlight
月光下我安眠
And I rose with the sun
随朝阳又起身
I rambled through the canyons
穿越幽深峡谷
Where the cold rivers run
寒溪奔流之处
When first I did come down
当我初次来到这方
Where the land meets the sea
陆地与海洋交汇的地方
The people said who are you
人们询问我的来历
And what would your name be
想知道我的名姓
I said I have no home and I am no man's son
我说我无家可归 亦非谁家儿郎
'Twas inland I was born
我生于内陆腹地
And from inland that I come
从内陆漂泊至此方
In the good land I was young and I was strong
在那丰饶的土地上 我曾年少力强
No one dared to call me son
无人敢称我为子嗣
Happy just to see my day's work done
只求每日劳作得偿所愿
See my day's work done
但求一日工成
So I swung an axe as a lumberjack
我曾挥斧作伐木工
And I worked the Quebec mines
亦在魁北克矿脉中穿行
And on the golden prairie
金色草原辽阔处
I rode the big combines
驾驭联合收割机驰骋
I sailed the maritime waters
更曾扬帆破浪于海疆
Of many a seaport town
走过无数海港小镇
Built the highways and the byways
筑起条条通衢小径
To the western salmon grounds
直抵西部鲑鱼之乡
I've gazed upon the good times
我曾见证辉煌岁月
I've seen the bad times too
也历经艰难时光
Felt many a cold and bitter wind
寒风刺骨常相伴
And many a mornin' dew
晨露沾衣总相随
I've watched the country growin'
目睹祖国日渐强盛
Like a fair and mighty thing
如公平而伟岸的存在
And on the still of a summer night
在夏日静谧的夜晚
I've heard the mountains ring
我曾听见群山回响
In the good land I was young
在这片沃土上我成长
And I was strong
我曾身强力壮
No one dared to call me son
无人敢称我为子嗣
Happy just to see my day's work done
只求每日劳作得偿所愿
See my day's work done
但求一日工成
But now the seeds are planted
如今种子已播撒大地
And the gates are open wide
机遇之门全然敞开
The old ways are forgotten
古老传统渐被遗忘
There's no place left to hide
再无栖身之所可藏
And the legacy I'm leavin'
而我留下的印记
You is not very hard to find
清晰可见无需寻觅
You'll see it all around
在这时代的十字路口
You at this crossroads of time
处处皆是传承痕迹
In the sweet soil it's a growin'
在肥沃土壤中生根发芽
At the crossroads of time
伫立在时光的十字路口
