Once I went out walking 有一次，我出去散步

And saw a crippled man 只见一个残缺的人

He couldn't raise his glass to lips 他不能举起酒杯嘴唇

So crippled were his hands 于是残废人双手

I stopped and watched, but could not 我停下来，看着，但不能

Bring myself to lend a hand 让自己伸出援助之手

   

And so it is, and so it was 因此，这是，所以它是

And so will always be 所以总是会

These things will be the way they will 这些东西都要加的方式，他们会

And I will be this me 而我将是我

   

One day I was humming 有一天，我哼着

A simple melody 一个简单的旋律

When I heard birds whistling their tunes 当我听到鸟儿吹口哨的曲调

From high up in the trees 从高高的树上

My song seemed but a trifle now 我的歌声仿佛只是一件小事，现在

They sang so beautifully 他们唱得很好呀

   

And so it is, and so it was 因此，这是，所以它是

And so will always be 所以总是会

These things will be the way they will 这些东西都要加的方式，他们会

And I will be this me 而我将是我

   

And now I listen to wind 现在我听风

As I lay down to bed 当我躺下睡觉

The snow has just begun to fall 雪刚开始下降

And cover all that's left 并覆盖所有剩下的

The tops of fences, tips of trees 围栏的顶部，树头

And stones that mark the dead 和石头纪念死者

   

And so it is, and so it was 因此，这是，所以它是

And so will always be 所以总是会

These things will be the way they will 这些东西都要加的方式，他们会

And I will be this me 而我将是我
