I went down to the place

Where I knew she lay waiting
知道她静静等候
Under the marble and the snow
在大理石与白雪之下
I said"Mother I'm frightened
我说"母亲 我害怕
The thunder and the lightning
这雷鸣电闪
I'll never come through this alone"
独自难以承受"
She said I'll be with you

My shawl wrapped around you
我的披肩轻覆你身
My hand on your head when you go
临别时掌心抚过你额发
And the night came on it was very calm
夜色降临 万籁俱寂
I wanted the night to go on and on
我愿这长夜永续无终
But she said
她却轻声道
Go back go back to the world
回去吧 回到尘世中去
We were fighting in Egypt
硝烟曾弥漫埃及战场
When they signed this agreement

That nobody else had to die
但愿无人再为此牺牲
There was this terrible sound

And my father went down

With a terrible wound in his side

He said Try to go on

Take my books take my gun

And remember my son how they lied

And the night comes on and it's very calm

I'd like to pretend that my father was wrong

But you don't want to lie not to the young

We were locked in this kitchen

I took to religion

And wondered how long she would stay

I needed so much

That I have nothing to touch

Cryin' papa you promised to play

And they hide they hide in the World

Now I look for her always

I'm lost in this calling

I'm tied to the threads of some prayer

Saying When will she summon me

When will she come to me
她何时会来到我身旁
What must I do to prepare

Then she bends to my longing
终于她俯身回应我的渴望
Like a willow like a fountain
如垂柳般 如清泉般
She stands in the luminous air
她伫立在朦胧暮色中
And the night comes on and it's very calm
夜幕降临 万籁俱寂
I lie in her arms and says When I'm gone
我依偎在她怀里轻语 当我离去后
I'll be yours yours for a song
愿化作你永恒的旋律
Now the crickets are singing
此刻蟋蟀低吟
The vesper bells ringing
晚钟轻轻回荡
The cat's curled asleep in his chair
猫咪蜷在椅中安眠
I'll go down to Bill's Bar
我会去比尔酒吧
I can make it that far
这段路我能独自走完
And I'll see if my friends are still there
看看老友们是否还在那方
And yes here's to the few
敬那些寥寥无几
Who forgive what you do
宽恕你所作所为的人
And the fewer who don't even care

And the night comes on and it's very calm
夜幕降临 万籁俱寂
I want to cross over I want to go home
我想跨越界限 我想回到故乡
And she says

Go back go back to the world
回去吧 回到尘世中去
