I was walking through the country 我走过的国家

And passing through lovely scenery 并通过可爱的风景

When I came upon some rotting remains 当我来到一些腐烂的遗体

And though the carcass was wormy 虽然尸体被虫蛀

Well, after all, it's all part of nature's art of cleaning 唉，毕竟，这是清洁大自然的艺术的一部分

   

And if I try hard I think that I will see 如果我努力，我认为我会看到

Some good behind all of this ugly 一些好这一切背后的丑陋

   

When my job was garbageman 当我的工作是清道夫

I'd go out and empty the garbage cans 我想出去，并清空垃圾桶

And I'd come upon some rotting remains 而且我来后，一些腐烂的遗体

But we'd drive them outside town 但是，我们会开车送他们在城外

And fill the land, and make hills that you could walk around on 并填补了土地，使山上，你可以走动的

   

And if I try hard I think that I will see 如果我努力，我认为我会看到

Some good behind all of this ugly 一些好这一切背后的丑陋

   

If I were born as a vulture 如果我出生的秃鹫

I'd fly out and circle high in the air 我飞出来，圈在高高的天上

And I'd look out for rotting remains 而且我看出来的腐烂的遗体

And if they weren't quite dead yet 如果他们没有完全死呢

A little bite would help things so I could get started 小咬，将有助于东西，这样我就能上手

   

And if I try hard I think that I will see 如果我努力，我认为我会看到

Some good behind all of this ugly 一些好这一切背后的丑陋
