Jacob was a dirt poor farm boy 雅各布是一个可怜的污垢农家子弟

Raised at the fork in the road in a clapboard house 在隔板房子引发的岔路口

And Rachel was a land baron's daughter 和Rachel是一个土地男爵的女儿

Born with a silver spoon in her mouth 出生在她的富贵

Her daddy said he wouldn't stand 她的爸爸说，他会受不了

For Rachel to waste her life with a common man 瑞秋浪费她的生活与普通人

He tried hard to keep them apart 他拼命把它们分开

But you can't draw lines in a young girl's heart 但你不能把一个年轻女孩的心脏线

   

So late one night by the harvest moon 这么晚了一晚的中秋之月

Jacob climbed a ladder up to Rachel's room 雅各爬上梯子到瑞秋的房间

He knew his place, it was right beside her 他知道自己的位置，这是对的她的身边

Step by step up to her world 一步一步走到了她的世界

Head over heels for a brown-eyed girl 情海棕色眼睛的女孩

And gettin' caught didn't seem to matter 和刚开了抓似乎并不重要

'Cause heaven was waitin' at the top of Jacob's ladder 因为天国是在等在雅各的梯子顶部

   

It'll be five years September 它会为五年九月

Since her daddy found the ladder and a note on her windowsill 由于她的爸爸发现她的窗台上梯子，记

He swore he'd never forgive them 他发誓他永远不会原谅他们

But nothin' melts a heart like a grandchild will 但什么也没汉化心脏像孙子会

Now she climbs up on his knee 现在，她爬上他的膝盖

Says, "Grandpa tell a story, the one about me" 说， “爷爷讲故事，一个关于我的”

He thinks back and his eyes shine 他回想起和他的两眼放光

Says, "Listen child, once upon a time" 说， “听着孩子，曾几何时”

   

Late one night by the harvest moon 一天深夜的牧场物语

Your daddy climbed a ladder to your mama's room 你爸爸爬上梯子到你妈妈的房间

He knew his place, it was right beside her 他知道自己的位置，这是对的她的身边

Step by step up to her world 一步一步走到了她的世界

Head over heels for my little girl 情海我的小女孩

And here you are, that's all that matters 在这里，你来了，这是最重要的事情

'Cause heaven was waitin' at the top of Jacob's ladder 因为天国是在等在雅各的梯子顶部

   

Oh, an angel was waitin' at the top of Jacob's ladder 哦，天使是在等在雅各的梯子顶部
