The Fool by the Roadside |
路邊的傻子 |
| When all works that have | 當所有從搖籃 |
| From cradle run to grave | 跑進墳墓的東西 |
| From grave to cradle run instead; | 又從墳墓跑回搖籃; |
| When thoughts that a fool | 當一個傻子 |
| Has wound upon a spool | 纏在軸上的心思 |
| Are but loose thread, are but loose thread; | 不過是松散的絲線,松散的絲線。 |
| When cradle and spool are past | 當搖籃與線軸都成往事, |
| And I mere shade at last | 而我, |
| Coagulate of stuff | 也化作一個影子, |
| Transparent like the wind, | 風一樣透明, |
| I think that I may find | 那時,我想,我就可以找到 |
| A faithful love, a faithful love. | 一個忠誠的愛人,忠誠的愛人。 |
