The landlady's husband came up to town today 房东太太的丈夫走到今天镇

Since he left them both ten years ago to serve the ministry 他走了以后他们俩十年前担任该部

The dark down road of his approach in constant rain was drenched 他在不断的降雨方式的黑了下来，道路被浇透

The tenant's boy said "How d'ya do" then swore in French 租户的男孩说：“多D雅做”然后骂了一句法语

Did you teach this little child these curses on my soul 你教这个小孩这些诅咒我的灵魂

You should both be shut down in the coal-hole 你都应该在煤洞关闭

That's the way to treat a child who cries out in the night 这是对待孩子哭谁在夜晚的路上

And a woman who teaches wrong from right 和一个女人谁教错了右

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

He's a Battered Old Bird 他是一个破旧的鸟

And he's living up there 他的生活在那里

There's a place where time stands still 有一个地方，时间静止

If you keep taking those little pink pills 如果你继续服用那些粉红色的小药丸

   

"Hush your mouth you hypocrite" “嘘你的嘴，你这假冒为善”

His humour cut her deep 他的幽默把她的深

The tight lipped leer of judgement 判断的守口如瓶阅读

That had seen her love desert her just like sleep 那曾见过她的爱情抛弃她，就像睡

"Filthy words on children's lips are better, my dear spouse “对孩子的嘴唇肮脏的话是更好的，我亲爱的配偶

Then if I were to speak my mind about this house" 然后，如果我说出自己的想法对这个家“

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

On the first floor there are two old maids 一楼有两个老处女

Each one wishing that the other was afraid 每一个希望的另一个是怕

And next door to them is a man so mild 和隔壁的他们是一个人很温和

'Til he chopped off the head of a visitor's child 直到他砍掉访问者的孩子的头

He danced upon the bonfire 他跳舞时的篝火

Swallowed sleeping pills like dreams 吞食安眠药像梦一样

With a bottle of sweet sherry that everything redeems 一瓶甜雪利酒，一切救赎

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

And on the second floor is the Macintosh Man 而二楼是Macintosh人

He's in his overcoats more than out of them 他在他的大衣多了出来

And the typewriter's rattling all through the night 和打字机的剑拔弩张通宵达旦

He's burgundy for breakfast tight 他是勃艮第的早餐紧

He says "One day I'll throw away all of my cares 他说， “有一天我会扔掉我所有的烦恼

And it is always Christmas in a cupboard at the top of the stairs" 它总是在圣诞节橱柜在楼梯的顶端“

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

"Well here's a boy if ever there was “那么这里是一个男孩，如果真有

Who's going to do big things 谁去办大事

That's what they all say and that's how the trouble begins 这就是他们都说那是如何的麻烦开始

I've seen them rise and fall 我看过他们的上升和下降

Been through their big deals and smalls 通过他们的大宗交易和小商品去过

He'd better have a dream that goes beyond four walls" 他最好有一个梦想，超越四面墙“

You think he should be sent outside playing with the traffic 你认为他应该与外界的交通玩发

When pieces of him are already scattered in the attic 当他的作品已经散落在阁楼
