[00:00:00] Mama Sang a Song - Billy McFarland

[00:00:19] //

[00:00:19] I get to thinking lots of times

[00:00:22] 我无数次地回想起

[00:00:22] About back when I was a lad

[00:00:24] 少年时期的情景

[00:00:24] Of the old homeplace where I grew up

[00:00:26] 怀念自己长大的故乡

[00:00:26] Of the days both good and bad

[00:00:29] 以及过去的种种时光

[00:00:29] My overalls were hand me downs

[00:00:32] 我的衣物是旧的

[00:00:32] My shoes were full of holes

[00:00:34] 鞋子上全是破洞

[00:00:34] I used to walk four miles to school every day

[00:00:37] 我曾每天长途跋涉去学校

[00:00:37] Through the rain the sleet and the cold

[00:00:41] 风雨无阻

[00:00:41] I've seen the nights

[00:00:43] 曾经历无数个困难之夜

[00:00:43] When my daddy would cry

[00:00:45] 我的父亲四处谋生

[00:00:45] For the things that his family would need

[00:00:47] 以供养这个大家庭

[00:00:47] But all he ever got was a badland farm

[00:00:50] 但是他只有一个土地贫瘠的农场

[00:00:50] And seven hungry mouths to feed

[00:00:53] 还有七个饥肠辘辘的家人

[00:00:53] And yet and yet our homefire

[00:00:55] 但是我们家庭中

[00:00:55] Never flickered once

[00:00:57] 从未出现争执与吵闹

[00:00:57] Cause when all these things went wrong

[00:01:00] 因为当事情恶化时

[00:01:00] Mama took the hymn book down

[00:01:01] 妈妈会拿出一本圣书

[00:01:01] And mama sang a song

[00:01:04] 唱一首圣歌

[00:01:04] What a friend we have in Jesus

[00:01:13] 我们有耶稣这个好朋友

[00:01:13] I've been rocked to sleep many a night

[00:01:15] 无数个夜晚我都伴随着

[00:01:15] To the tune of what a friend

[00:01:18] 圣歌的旋律入睡

[00:01:18] And come morning rock of ages

[00:01:19] 早晨 轻柔的音乐声

[00:01:19] Would wake me gently once again

[00:01:22] 会将我再次唤醒

[00:01:22] And when daddy would reach up

[00:01:24] 当父亲能够到书时

[00:01:24] And he'd take down the bible

[00:01:26] 他就会拿下圣经

[00:01:26] And he'd read it

[00:01:27] 为我们朗读

[00:01:27] Read it loud and long

[00:01:29] 声音洪亮婉转

[00:01:29] And I always felt that maybe our house was blessed

[00:01:32] 我常感觉我们一家都深受庇佑

[00:01:32] When daddy would say mama sing a song

[00:01:37] 爸爸常常妈妈唱首圣歌

[00:01:37] Sister left home first I guess and then bob

[00:01:40] 妹妹首先离开了家 然后是鲍勃

[00:01:40] And then Tommy and then Dan

[00:01:42] 接下来是汤米和丹

[00:01:42] By then dad's hair was turning white

[00:01:45] 此时爸爸的头发已变得灰白

[00:01:45] And I had to be mama's little man

[00:01:48] 我成了妈妈的靠山

[00:01:48] But it seemed that as daddy's back grew weak

[00:01:50] 但是随着爸爸越来越虚弱

[00:01:50] My mother's faith just grew strong

[00:01:53] 妈妈的信仰却越来越坚定

[00:01:53] And those were the greatest days of all

[00:01:55] 每当妈妈的歌声响起

[00:01:55] When mama sang a song

[00:01:56] 都让我们倍感幸福

[00:01:56] Rock of ages cleft for me

[00:02:05] 摇滚年代为我而展开

[00:02:05] Let me hide myself in thee

[00:02:15] 我要沉浸在其中

[00:02:15] I guess the house is still standing

[00:02:17] 我想老房子还在

[00:02:17] I don't get to go back much anymore

[00:02:20] 而我却无需经常回去

[00:02:20] No voice is left to fill those halls

[00:02:23] 房子里已冷冷清清

[00:02:23] And no steps to grace the floor

[00:02:25] 空无一人

[00:02:25] For you see my mother sings in heaven now

[00:02:29] 我的妈妈也已去了天堂

[00:02:29] Around god's golden throne

[00:02:31] 在上帝的宝座旁高歌

[00:02:31] But I'll always believe

[00:02:34] 但是我一直相信

[00:02:34] That this world is a better place

[00:02:37] 这个世界正在变好

[00:02:37] Because one time my mama sang a song

[00:02:45] 因为我的妈妈曾在这个世界歌唱过

[00:02:45] Rock of ages cleft for me

[00:02:50] 摇滚年代为我而展开
