Willie O'Winsbury - Meg Baird
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
"Daughter oh daughter " said the king
“吾儿,吾儿,”国王开口道
"Why're you so pale and wan
“为何你形容如此枯槁,面色惨白
I fear you have some sore sickness
我唯恐你忧思成疾,身染重病
Or else you have laid with a man "
抑或是你已与人私通,共赴云雨”
"You're welcome you're welcome my father dear
“恭迎父王,吾爱父王
You are welcome home to me
恭迎父王平安归家
For I have sick unto my heart
只因我已忧心如焚,心如刀绞
Since you've been so long on the sea "
自您远渡重洋,经年未归”
"Cast off cast off your berry-brown gown;
“脱下,快脱下你那身褐红罗裙;
Stand naked upon the stone
赤裸立于那磐石之上
That I might know you by your shape
让我审视你的身形
Whether you be a maiden or no "
辨明你是否仍为处子之身”
So she's cast off her berry-brown gown;
于是她褪去了那身褐红罗裙;
She's stood naked upon the stone
她赤裸立于那磐石之上
Her apron was low and her middle was round
围裙低垂,腰肢已然浑圆
Her face was pale and wan
她的容颜依旧惨白憔悴
"Oh was it with a lord or a duke or a knight
“噢,是哪位领主、公爵或骑士
Or a man of birth and fame
还是哪位名门望族之后
Or was it with one of my serving men
抑或是我麾下的某位随从
That's lately come out of Spain "
最近才从西班牙归来?”
"No it wasn't with a lord nor a duke nor a knight
“不,并非哪位领主、公爵或骑士
Nor a man of birth and fame
亦非哪位名门望族之后
But it was with Willie O'Winsbury;
而是与那威利·奥温斯伯里;
I could bide no longer alone "
我再也无法忍受形影相吊的寂寞”
The king he has sent for his merry men all
国王随即召集他所有的亲信随从
By thirty and by three
整整三十有三人
Saying "Fetch me this Willie O'Winsbury
说道:“去把那威利·奥温斯伯里给我抓来
For hanged he shall be "
定要将他处以绞刑”
But when he was brought before the king
可当他被押解至国王面前
He was clad all in red silk
他周身裹着华美的朱红绫罗
His hair was like the strands of gold
他的发丝宛如流金
His skin was white as milk
他的肌肤胜雪,洁白如脂
"It is no wonder " said the king
“这便不足为奇了,”国王感叹道
"How my daughter's love you did win
“吾女为何会被你夺去芳心
For if I was a woman as I am a man
若我身为红颜,而非七尺男儿
My bedfellow you would have been
你定会成为我的入幕之宾”
"Will you marry my daughter Janet
“你可愿娶我的女儿珍妮特
By the truth of your right hand
以你右手之名起誓
And if you'll marry my daughter Janet
若你愿娶我的女儿珍妮特
I will make you the lord of my lands "
我便封你为我领地的领主”
"Yes I will marry your daughter Janet
“是的,我愿娶您的女儿珍妮特
By the truth of my right hand
以我右手之名起誓
But I'll not have your gold and I'll not have your gear
但我不要你的金银财宝,也不要你的金帛辎重
And I'll not be the lord of your land
我亦不愿做你领地的领主”
"For I have houses and I have land
“因我自有府邸,亦有封地
I have men at my command
我麾下亦有听命于我的兵将
And were it not for your daughter fair
若非为了你那美丽的女儿
I would not be your servant man "
我绝不会屈就做你的随从下人”
He sat her upon a milk white steed
他扶她跨上一匹雪色骏马
And himself on a dapple gray;
自己则骑上一匹青骢马;
He has made her the lady of as much land
他封她为那广袤领地的女主人
As she can ride in a long summer's day
纵使在漫长夏日驰骋一日,也难抵边界
