My Wage
我的索求
Jessie Belle Rittenhouse
杰西·贝丽·丽特豪斯
背景:爱尔兰风笛 心灵秘境 Cuchulainn
朗读:英式发音
I bargained with life for a penny,
And life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
我只求区区一枚硬币
不论我每晚怎么哀求
生活都置之不理
For life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.
生活就是你的雇主
满足你的索求
但是索求的数目一定
你就必须要承受重担
I worked for a menial's hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of life,
Life would have paid.
我卑微的劳作
却失望地发现
生活本会给我一切
