The Master's Call - Marty Robbins (马丁·罗宾逊)
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
When I was but a young man
当我还是个少年郎
I was wild and full of fire
狂野不羁似火燃烧
A youth within my teens
正值青春年少时
But full of challenge and desire
心中满是挑战与渴望
I ran away from home
我逃离了温暖的家
And left my mother and my dad
抛下慈母与严父
I know it grieved them
深知伤透他们心
So to think their only boy was bad
独子堕落令他们心碎
I fell in with an outlaw band
我曾加入亡命之徒的帮派
Their names were known quite well
他们个个臭名昭著
How many times we robbed
劫掠作恶不计其数
And plundered I could never tell
罪行累累难以细数
This kind of sinful livin' leads only to a fall
这般堕落终将自食恶果
I learned that much and more the night
那夜惊雷让我彻悟
I heard my master call
听见天父声声呼唤
One night we rustled cattle
某夜我们偷盗牛群
A thousand head or so
驱赶着上千头牛群
And started them out on the trail
踏上通往墨西哥的征途
That leads to Mexico
沿着那条古老的小径
But a norhtern started blowin'
忽然北风呼啸而至
And lightnin' flashed about
闪电划破天际时
I thought someone was calling me
恍若听见谁在呼唤我
I thought I heard a shout
仿佛传来声声呐喊
Then at that moment lightning
就在那电光石火间
Struck not twenty yards from me
闪电在二十码外劈落
And left there was a giant cross
原地矗立起巨大十字架
Where once there was a tree
取代了原先那棵老树
And this time I knew a heard a voice
这次我确信听见了圣音
A voice so sweet and strange
如此甜美而陌生的声音
A voice that came from everywhere
这声音从四面八方传来
A voice that called my name
声声呼唤着我的名字
So frightened I was thinking of sinful deeds I'd done
惊惶中我忆起所有罪孽
I failed to see a thousand head of cattle start to run
我未能察觉 千头牛群开始狂奔
The cattle they stampeded
牛群惊惶四散
Were running all around
在周围疯狂奔逃
My pony ran but stumbled
我的马儿踉跄跌倒
And it threw me to the ground
将我重重摔落在地
I felt the end was nearing
我感到末日将近
That death would be the price
死亡将成为代价
When a mighty bolt of lightning
就在一道惊天霹雳
Showed the face of Jesus Christ
耶稣基督圣容显现
And I cried "Oh Lord forgive me
我哭喊"主啊请宽恕我
Don't let it happen now
求祢此刻别带走我
I want to live for You alone
余生只愿为祢而活
Oh God these I vow "words
上帝啊我立此誓言"
My wicked past unfolded
过往罪孽历历在目
I thought of wasted years
虚度年华涌上心头
When another bolt of lightning
又一道闪电划破长空
Killed a hundred head of steers
曾夺走百头牛的生命
And the others rushed on by me
牛群惊惶四散奔逃
And I was left to live
唯独我幸存于世
The Master had a reason
因主自有其深意
Life is His to take and give
生死皆由祂主宰
A miracle performed that night
那夜神迹显现
I wasn't ment to die
我命不该绝
The dead ones formed
亡者尸骸堆积
A barricade least 6 or 7 high
六七尺高的围栏矗立
Right behind it there was I
我瑟缩其后战栗不已
Afraid but safe and sound
虽惊恐却安然无恙
I cried and begged for mercy kneeling
跪地哭求宽恕恩典
There upon the ground
在泥泞中虔诚忏悔
A pardon I was granted
终获赦免的恩典
My sinful soul set free
污浊灵魂得释放
No more to fear the angry waves upon
怒涛骇浪不复惧
Life's stormy sea
生命如怒海沉浮
Forgiven by the love of God
终被神爱宽恕
A love that will remain
这恩典永驻
I gave my life and soul the night
那夜我献祭灵魂全部
The Saviour called my name
救主唤我名如晨露
