Housewife's Lament - Midday Sun
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
One day I was walking I heard a complaining
某日我漫步街头 听闻声声哀叹
And saw an old woman the picture of gloom
见一老妪独坐 满面愁云惨淡
She gazed at the mud on her doorstep ('twas raining)
她凝望门前泥泞(当时正落雨)
And this was her song as she wielded her broom
挥动扫帚时 这般哀歌轻叹
Life is a trial and love is a trouble
生活是场试炼 爱情尽是烦恼
Beauty will fade and riches will flee
红颜终将老去 富贵如云飘散
Pleasures they dwindle and prices they double
欢愉日渐消减 物价翻倍上涨
And nothing is as I would wish it to be
万事皆不如意 难遂我心所愿
It's sweeping at six and it's dusting at seven
六点清扫 七点除尘
It's victuals at eight and it's dishes at nine
八点备餐 九点洗碗
It's potting and panning form ten to eleven
十到十一点 锅碗瓢盆不停歇
We scarce break our fast till we plan how to dine
早餐未毕 已在筹划晚餐
With grease and with grime from corner to center
油污尘垢 从角落到中央
Forever at war and forever alert
永不停歇 永远警觉
No rest for a day lest the enemy enter
一日不防 污秽便入侵
I spend my whole life in struggle with dirt
我的一生 都在与灰尘抗争
Life is a trial and love is a trouble
生活是场试炼 爱情尽是烦恼
Beauty will fade and riches will flee
红颜终将老去 富贵如云飘散
Pleasures they dwindle and prices they double
欢愉日渐消减 物价翻倍上涨
And nothing is as I would wish it to be
万事皆与愿违 无处得偿所愿
Last night in my dreams I was stationed forever
昨夜梦中 我永驻孤岛
On a far little rock in the midst of the sea
茫茫海中央 礁石一小块
My one chance of life was a ceaseless endeavor
此生唯一机会 是无尽挣扎
To sweep off the waves as they swept over me
扫去如潮水般涌来的苦难
Alas Twas no dream; ahead I behold it
唉 这不是梦 前方景象清晰可见
I see I am helpless my fate to avert
我明白自己无力扭转命运
She lay down her broom her apron she folded
她放下扫帚 叠好围裙
She lay down and died and was buried in dirt
躺下长眠 被黄土掩埋
Life is a trial and love is a trouble
生活是场试炼 爱情尽是烦恼
Beauty will fade and riches will flee
红颜终将老去 富贵如云飘散
Pleasures they dwindle and prices they double
欢愉日渐消减 物价翻倍上涨
And nothing is as I would wish it to be
万事皆不如意 难遂我心所愿
