Colonel Forbin stared up at the mountain 上校Forbin盯着在山

And wiped away the beads of sweat 并擦干的汗珠

That glistened on his brow 那闪闪发光的眉头

His tired feet were buried in the quagmire 他疲惫的双腿被埋在泥潭

And his bloodshot eyes saw all that lay between him 而他布满血丝的眼睛看了都觉得他之间铺设

And fulfillment of his vow 和履行他的誓言

   

And he felt his fingers wrap around a knotted root 他觉得他的手指缠绕打结根

And pulled his body upwards 并拉着他的身体向上

To a sea green mossy boulder 到海绿色苔藓的巨石

And he dragged his weary carcass [or "shit-ass"] up the mountain 他拖着疲惫的尸体[或“屎屁股”]上山

   

And he climbed so slowly 他爬得很慢

He climbed so slowly 他爬得很慢

Ahead 未来

Suddenly he heard the crack of thunder 突然，他听到了雷鸣般的裂纹

And tumble down the mountain to the 和翻滚下山到

Dismal swamp that lay beneath the jagged cliffs 阴森的沼泽奠定了锯齿状的峭壁下方

through which his path had led 通过它自己的路径导致

And the earth began to quake beneath his feet 与大地开始在他的脚下地震

And the mighty mountain changed before his eyes 而强大的山之前，他的眼神变了

And he stood amidst a sea of dust and rocks and stones 他站在一片尘埃，岩石和石头的海洋

Cascading down the mountain 层叠下山

And a thousand birds were headed for the sky. Oh... 和千鸟人为首的天空。呵呵...

When the dust had cleared, the colonel lifted up his head 当灰尘清除了，上校抬起头来

And was driven to his knees by a blazing beam of light 并通过光的熊熊束驱动到膝盖

And he saw the silhouette that stood before him 他看到在他面前侍立的剪影

And he bowed in reverence 和他崇敬鞠躬

Trembling in the shadow of the mighty legend's form 颤抖着在强大的传说的形式的影子

Icculus the prophet stood before his eyes Icculus先知在他眼前站着

Looking down on Colonel Forbin 看不起上校Forbin

Where he shuddered in the puddles and the muck 在那里，他在水坑和淤泥打了一个寒颤

And the famous mockingbird swooped down out of the sky and landed on Icculus's shoulder, and Icculus whispered into the bird's ear, and it flew off toward Wilson's castle in the valley below. 和著名只知更鸟俯冲而下的天空，落在Icculus的肩膀上， Icculus低声成鸟的耳朵，它飞走了对威尔逊的城堡下面的山谷。
