There was a woman and she lived in her own
有一个女人她独自生活
Slaved on her own and skivvied on her own
她独自一人任劳任怨
There was a woman and she lived in her own
有一个女人她独自生活
Slaved on her own and skivvied on her own
她独自一人任劳任怨
She had two little boys and two little girls
她有两个儿子两个女儿
She lived all alone with her husband
她和丈夫独自生活
He was a hunk if a man
他是个猛男
A chunk of a man and a drunk of a man
腰缠万贯的男人烂醉如泥的男人
A hunk of a drunken spunk of a man
醉得不省人事
Such a boozy bruising bully of a husband
醉醺醺的伤痕累累欺负我的丈夫
When he came home drunk at night
当他深夜买醉回到家
He thrashed her black and he thrashed her white
他把她打得落花流水
Thrashed her to within an inch of her life
让她痛不欲生
And snored all night like a pig her drunken husband
她醉醺醺的丈夫整晚打呼噜
One night she gathered her tears all round her shame
一天晚上她泪流满面含羞
Covered up the bruising cried with the pain
掩盖淤青痛苦地哭泣
You'll not do that ever again
你再也不会重蹈覆辙
I'll not live anymore with a drunken husband
我再也不愿和喝醉的丈夫生活在一起
That night as he lay drunk in bed
那晚他喝醉了躺在床上
The strangest thought came to her head
她突然产生一个奇怪的想法
She took the needle and the thread
她穿针引线
And went straight into her sleeping husband
径直走进她熟睡的丈夫
She started to stitch with a girlish thrill
她开始用一种少女般的悸动来缝制衣服
With a woman's eye and a seamstress skill
女人的眼光和女裁缝的技巧
She bibbed and tucked with an iron will
她的身材凹凸有致
As she stitched all around her sleeping husband
当她为熟睡的丈夫缝合伤口时
The top sheet and the bottom sheet too
无论是顶层还是底层
The blanket stitched to the mattress through
毛毯缝在床垫上
She worked and stitched the whole night through
她一整晚都在工作和缝补
Waiting for the dawn and her husband
等待黎明和她的丈夫
He awoke with a pain in his head
他醒来时头痛欲裂
He found that he could not move in bed
他发现自己躺在床上动弹不得
Sweet God in heaven have I lost me legs
亲爱的上帝啊我是不是失去了双腿
She just sat and smiled at her husband
她只是坐在那里对她的丈夫微笑
In her hand In her hand In her hand she held the frying pan
她手里拿着煎锅
With a flutter in her heart she flew at him
她怦然心动地扑向他
He could not move so he cried God Damn
他动弹不得所以他哭了天啊
Don't you swear at me you dirty husband
你不要对我说脏话你这个卑鄙的丈夫
She beat him black and she beat him blue
她把他打得遍体鳞伤
With the frying pan and the colander too
还有煎锅和漏勺
With the rolling pin a stroke or two
用擀面杖轻轻一挥
Such a battered and a beaten husband
一个伤痕累累的丈夫
If you ever come home drunk again
如果你再次喝醉回家
I'll stitch you up and sew you in
我会为你缝合伤口
Then I'll pack my bags and I'll be gone
然后我收拾行李走人
I'll not live anymore with a drunken husband
我再也不愿和喝醉的丈夫生活在一起
Isn't it true what a wife can do
难道不是吗一个妻子能做的事
With a needle thread and a stitch or two
用一根针和一两针
He wiped his slate and his boozin is through
他一笔勾销他的**已经消失了
She don't live anymore with a drunken husband
她不再和喝醉的丈夫生活在一起
