Lady in Black


She came to me one morning
她在一个早晨到来
One lonely sunday morning
一个孤寂的星期天清晨
Her long hair flowing
她的长发散落在
In the midwinter wind
冬至的寒风里
I know not how she found me
我不知她何以觅得我踪迹
For in darkness I was walking
因我正蹒跚在黑暗里
And destruction lay around me
所到之处尽是毁灭
From a fight I could not win
那是一场无望之战的残迹
Ah ah ah ...
啊…啊…啊……

She asked me name my foe then
她叫我道出我敌人的身份
I said the need within some men
我说，是部分人内心中
To fight and kill their brothers
不顾情谊与信仰地
Without thought of love or god
彼此争斗杀戮的贪欲
And I begged her give me horses
我恳求她给我足够的马匹
To trample down my enemies
以征服我的仇敌
So eager was my passion
我的热望迫切地
To devour this waste of life
要吞灭这生命的渣滓
Ah ah ah ...
啊…啊…啊……

But she wouldnt think of battle that
但她不会染指
Reduces men to animals
那使人变作禽兽的战争
So easy to begin
向来被轻率地挑起
And yet impossible to end
却再难平息
For shes the mother of our men
因为她是我族的母亲
Who counselled me so wisely then
用智慧的语言将我启迪
I feared to walk alone again
我于是竟畏于继续独行
And asked if she would stay
便请求她和我在一起
Ah ah ah ...
啊…啊…啊……

Oh lady lend your hand outright
噢，我的女士，请伸出您的手
And let me rest here at your side
让我在您身旁休憩
Have faith and trust
“守住你的勇气和信心”
In peace she said
她的语调如此平静
And filled my heart with life
让我的心再次振奋一新
There is no strength in numbers
“数目不是力量的保证
Have no such misconception
勿要被其迷惑了心
But when you need me
但若你将有求于我
Be assured I wont be far away
请记得我始终不曾远离”
Ah ah ah ...
啊…啊…啊……

Thus having spoke she turned away
话音落地她转身离去
And though I found no words to say
尽管一时无言以对
I stood and watched until I saw
我仍在原地目送直到
Her black coat disappear
她的黑袍消隐
My labour is no easier
肩上使命沉重依然
But now I know Im not alone
可我知道自己不再孤单
I find new heart each time
每当想起那个起风的日子
I think upon that windy day
我的心又澎湃不已
And if one day she comes to you
若她某日将来到你身旁
Drink deeply from her words so wise
请尽情啜饮她智慧的话语
Take courage from her
骄傲地接受她
As your prize
勇气的赐予
And say hello from me
再记得代我向她致敬
Ah ah ah ...
啊…啊…啊……
