My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf
我祖父的钟太大了放不下架子
So it stood ninety years on the floor
就这样在地上立了九十年
It was taller by half than the old man himself
它比老人自己高出一半
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more
虽然它的重量并没有多一分钱
It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born
这是他出生那天早上买的
And was always his treasure and pride
一直是他的珍宝和骄傲
But it stopp'd short never to go again
可它戛然而止再也无法前行
When the old man died
当老人去世时
Ninety years without slumbering
九十年不曾沉睡
Tick tack tick tack
滴滴嗒嗒
His life seconds numbering
他的生命一秒一秒地流逝
Tick tack tick tack
滴滴嗒嗒
It stopp'd short never to go again
戛然而止再也不会离去
When the old man died
当老人去世时
In watching its pendulum swing to and fro
看着它的钟摆来回摆动
Many hours had he spent while a boy
当他还是个孩子时他度过了多少时光
And in childhood and manhood the clock seemed to know
在童年和成年的时候时钟似乎知道
And to share both his grief and his joy
分享他的悲伤和喜悦
For it struck twenty-four when he entered at the door
他进门的时候已经二十四点了
With a blooming and beautiful bride
带着一个盛开美丽的新娘
But it stopped short never to go again
可它戛然而止再也无法前行
When the old man died
当老人去世时
Ninety years without slumbering
九十年不曾沉睡
Tick tack tick tack
滴滴嗒嗒
His life seconds numbering

Tick tack tick tack
滴滴嗒嗒
It stopp'd short never to go again
戛然而止再也不会离去
When the old man died
当老人去世时
My grandfather said that of those he could hire
我爷爷说他能雇到的人中
Not a servant so faithful he found
他发现没有哪个仆人如此忠心
For it wasted no time and had but one desire
因为它没有浪费时间只有一个愿望
At the close of each week to be wound
在每一周结束的时候都会受伤
And it kept in its place not a frown upon its face
它一动不动脸上没有一丝愁容
And its hands never hung by its side
它的双手从不垂在身旁
But it stopp'd short never to go again
可它戛然而止再也无法前行
When the old man died
当老人去世时
Ninety years without slumbering

Tick tack tick tack

His life seconds numbering

It stopp'd short never to go again

When the old man died
当老人去世时
It rang an alarm in the dead of the night
它在夜深人静时响起警铃
An alarm that for years had been dumb
多年来一直愚蠢至极的警报
And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight
我们知道他的灵魂在飞翔
That his hour of departure had come
他该离去了
Still the clock kept the time with a soft and muffled chime
时钟依然发出低沉的、轻柔的报时声
As we silently stood by his side
我们默默地站在他身旁
But it stopp'd short never to go again
可它戛然而止再也无法前行
When the old man died
当老人去世时
Ninety years without slumbering
九十年不曾沉睡
Tick tack tick tack
滴滴嗒嗒
His life seconds numbering
他的生命一秒一秒地流逝
Tick tack tick tack
滴滴嗒嗒
It stopp'd short never to go again
戛然而止再也不会离去
When the old man died
