One day you might hear someone knocking loudly at your door 有一天，你可能会听到有人大声地敲你的门

And you know it must be bad news-absolutely sure 你知道那一定是个坏消息，绝对的把握

You must realise before you strike the very first blow 你打的第一击之前，你必须认识

Lay not a finger on him 不在于手指在他身上

Beat not, oh bruise not, his skinny skin skin 击败了没有，哦不瘀伤，他瘦弱的皮肤的皮肤

No don't ever harm the messenger 没有永远不要伤害使者

 

Understand he came a long way on a lonely road 知道他来了很长的路在孤独的路上

Multiplying were his trials, heavy was his load 乘法是他的试验中，重是他的负荷

Understand his heart was breaking, never once did he sleep 了解他的心脏被打破，从来没有一次他才睡觉

And no hollow log kept him warm, no counsel did he keep 无空心日志让他温暖，没有律师他才继续

 

Give him food, give him a bed 给他食物，给他一张床

Touch not one single hair on his head 触摸而不是一个单一的头发在头上

Don't ever harm the messenger 永远不要伤害使者
