Morningside 晨

The old man died 老人去世

And no one cried 没有人哭

They simply turned away 他们只是转身离开

   

And when he died 而当他死了

He left a table made of nails and pride 他离开做指甲和骄傲的表

And with his hands, 并用自己的双手，

He carved these words inside 他雕刻的这些话里面

'For my children' “对于我的孩子”

   

Morning light 晨光

Morning bright 早晨明亮

I spent the night 我花了一个晚上

With dreams that make you weep 有了梦想，让你哭泣

Morning time 上午的时间

Wash away the sadness 洗去悲伤

From these eyes of mine 从我的双眼

For I recall the words an old man signed 因为我记得的话一个老人签署

'For my children' “对于我的孩子”

   

[Spoken:] [口语： ]

And the legs were shaped with his hands 和腿形的双手

And the top made of oaken wood 和顶部橡木实木制成

And the children 和孩子们

That sat around this great table 这围坐在这个伟大的表

Touched it with their laughter 他们的笑声感动吧

Ah, and that was good 啊，那是很好的

   

Morningside 晨

An old man died 一个老人去世

And no one cried 没有人哭

He surely died alone 他肯定孤独死

And truth is sad 而事实是悲哀

For not a child would claim the gift he had 对于没有孩子会声称他有天赋

The words he carved became his epitaph 他刻的话成了他的墓志铭

'For my children' “对于我的孩子”
