My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf 我的祖父的时钟过大的架子

So it stood ninety years on the floor 因此，站在地板上90年

It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born 有人买了一天的早晨，他出生

And was always his treasure and pride 而一直是他珍惜和骄傲

But it stopped, short never to go again 但是，它停止了，总之再也不会去

When the old man died 当老人去世

   

Ninety years without slumbering 90年从不休息

My grandfather said that of those he could hire 我爷爷说的那些，他可以雇

Not a servant so faithful he found 不是仆人如此忠实，他发现

It rang and alarmed in the dead of the night 它响了，惊动了在夜深人静

An alarm that for years had been dumb ，多年来一直哑报警
