There were letters unopened at the foot of my bed 有未开封在我的床脚信

When I woke up with you in the morn 当我在早晨醒来的时候，你

There were lions roaring on ships in the harbour 有狮子咆哮的船舶在港口

The night my true love was born 当晚我的真爱诞生

   

There’s a minstrel singing of the holy dove 有圣鸽的吟游诗人的歌声

On the mountain of old St Jerome 在旧的圣杰罗姆山

There is glass on the floor of the hallway I walk 有玻璃走廊上我走的地板

When the stars bear down from their throne 当星星忍了下来，从他们的宝座

And the old southern cross is shown 和老南十字显示

And it points down the sad road home 它指向下方伤心回家路

To the land of the bloody unknown 血腥的未知之地

   

I heard that your mother took off in the fall 我听说你的母亲在秋天起飞

With her pretty curls and her wooden spoon 与她漂亮的卷发，她的木勺

I heard you whispering to yourself last night 我听说你小声叨念着昨夜

She’ll be coming home some day soon 她很快就会回家的某一天

   

Well the wine you drink is stained deep in your shirt 那么你喝的酒是深染在你的衬衫

And just like the sin in my soul 就这样在我心中的罪恶

It is never ever ever ever coming out 这是永远永远永远现身

While the stars bear down from their throne 而星忍了下来，从他们的宝座

And the old southern cross is shown 和老南十字显示

And it points down the sad road home 它指向下方伤心回家路

   

To the land of the hunter dancing under the trigger 猎人跳舞的触发下，土地

And the bride washing up on the shore 新娘洗上了岸

I could never really dance that well 我从来没有真正跳舞的好

I can’t raise the flags or ring them bells 我不能抬高标志或响钟他们

But I can shoot my gun down the line towards my home 不过，我可以拍我的枪下来，对我家的线

To the land of the bloody unknown 血腥的未知之地

   

There’s a black dog watching over me in my sleep 有一个黑色的狗在注视着我，我的睡眠

And I stir just to toss him the bone 我只是搅折腾他的骨头

There’s a red moon rising on the hills tonight 有一个红色的月亮山上今晚上涨

Where the stars bear down from their throne 凡星忍了下来，从他们的宝座

And the old southern cross is shown 和老南十字显示

And it points down the sad road home 它指向下方伤心回家路
