[00:00.00] 作词 : TRAD+BRITTEN BENJAMIN [00:01.00] 作曲 : TRAD+BRITTEN BENJAMIN [00:10.56]Easter day was a holiday
复活节本是欢庆日 [00:11.07]Of all days of the year,
一年中最特别时光 [00:17.07]And all the little schoolfellows went out to play
学童们都去玩耍嬉戏 [00:21.00]But Sir William was not there.
唯独不见威廉身影 [00:31.80]Mamma went to the School wife house
母亲来到校舍门前 [00:34.50]And knocked at the ring,
轻叩门环叮当响 [00:35.37]Saying, 'Little Sir William, if you are there,
"小威廉若你在里面 [00:42.72]Pray let your mother in.'
快让母亲进门探望" [00:53.55]The School wife open'd the door and said:
女教师开门回答道： [00:55.50]'He is not here today.
"他今日不在此处藏 [01:00.45]He is with the little schoolfellows out on the green
正与学童们在绿野 [01:05.25]Playing some pretty play.'
做着游戏多欢畅" [01:08.04]Mamma went to the Boyne water
母亲寻至博因河畔 [01:08.64]That is so wide and deep,
河水幽深又宽广 [01:23.16]Saying, 'Little Sir William, if you are there,
"小威廉若你在彼方 [01:27.48]Oh pity your mother's weep.'
请怜母亲泪两行" [01:27.99]'How can I pity your weep, mother,
"孩儿如何能止泪 [01:58.08]And I so long in pain?
我亦深陷痛苦长 [01:58.50]For the little pen knife sticks close to my heart
锋利小刀刺心扉 [02:03.06]And the School wife hath me slain.
女教师害我命亡 [02:04.56]'Go home, go home, my mother dear,
"亲爱的母亲请归家 [02:36.33]And prepare my winding sheet,
为我备好寿衣裳 [02:36.93]For tomorrow morning before eight o'clock,
明日八时晨光现 [02:39.51]You with my body shall meet.
你将见我卧河床 [02:40.02]'And lay my Prayer Book at my head,
"祈祷书放我枕畔 [02:51.30]And my grammar at my feet,
语法书置足下方 [03:08.94]That all the little schoolfellows as they pass by
让过往的学童们看见 [03:09.84]May read them for my sake.'
代我诵读永不忘"
