歌词
Old Reilly stole a stallion
老赖利偷了一匹种马
But they caught him and they brought him back
可惜被人逮住了 人们将他捉拿归案
And they laid him down on the jailhouse ground
在监狱冰冷的地面人们用铁镣
With an iron chain around his neck.
拴住老赖利的脖子将他放倒
Old reilly's daughter got a message
老赖利的女儿被告知了
That her father was gonna hang.
她爸爸即将被处决的消息
She rode by night and came by morning
她深夜策马狂奔早上抵达监狱
With gold and silver in her hand.
手中攥着金银物件
When the judge he saw Reilly's daughter
当那法官见到老赖利的女儿
His old eyes deepened in his head,
他浑浊的双眼深深凹陷
Sayin':"Gold will never free your father,
他说：“金子救不了你父亲
The price, my dear, is you instead."
救他，我亲爱的，需要你。”
"Oh I'm as good as dead," cried Reilly,
“噢！我跟死人没啥两样，”赖利哀号着
"It's only you that he does crave
“你才是他想得到的
And my skin will surely crawl if he touches you at all.
如果他动你一下我会浑身起鸡皮疙瘩痛苦不堪
Get on your horse and ride away."
快骑上你的马儿离开吧。”
"Oh father you will surely die
“噢！爸爸，按你说的做 你必死无疑
If I dont take the chance and try
如若我抓住机会一试
To pay the price and not take your advice.
和法官交易 或许还能能救你
For that reason I will have to stay."
无论如何 为了这点希望我也要留下来。”
The gallows' shadows shook the evening,
绞刑架的影子让夜颤抖
In the night a hound dog bayed,
黑夜里一只猎犬叫嚷起来
In the dark the grounds were groanin,
大地在这黑暗中呻吟
In the dark the price was paid.
在这黑暗里“交易”完成了一半
The next morning when she had awoken
第二天清晨当她醒来
She found out that the judge had never spoken.
她发现法官并未发一言
She saw that hangin' branch abandoned,
她看到那孤零零的绞刑架
She saw her father's body broken.
她看到了她爸爸的残体
These be seven curses on a judge so cruel:
这是对一个如此残忍的法官的七诅咒
That one doctor cannot save him,
一个医生都不能救他的命
That two eyes cannot see him,
没有一双眼睛能看到他
And that three healers cannot heal him.
三个法师也没法治愈他
That four ears cannot hear him,
四只耳朵都听不到他的声音
That five walls cannot hide him,
五堵墙都藏不住他邪恶的身影
That six diggers cannot bury him,
六台挖掘机都无法给他挖出安葬的墓穴
And that seven deaths shall never kill him.
这样的人死上七次都不为过
