Evensong

Evensong

The day is over

一天结束了

And still so heavy on the mind:

心情依然沉重

In flew glowing smiling Mother butterfly

灼热的飞行 微笑的圣母

In yellow

像黄色的蝴蝶

To join the frowning cactus crowd

加入到愁眉苦脸的人群里

Finding flowers - even there - to flutter round

寻找花朵 围绕着她飞舞

I thought Isn't Mother grand

我想圣母难道不庄严吗

The way she flies and flies

她飞翔的方式

Into the sting of the cold

冷风刺骨

And the prick of the barbed wire

像是带刺的铁丝网

Isn't mother grand

圣母难道不庄严吗

To gladly fly and swiftly fly

高兴地飞舞 快速地飞走

Into the sting of the cold

冷风刺骨

And the prick of the barbed wire

像是带刺的铁丝网

The day is over

一天结束了

And still goes passing through the mind:

仍然通过心灵去传递

In came glowing smiling Mother sure and kind

灼热的来临 微笑的圣母 用亲切

To rouse us

来唤醒我们

To give ourselves out and to cry

让我们释放哭出来

Birth to warm intentions worthless otherwise

出生便是为了温暖人间 否则毫无意义

Oh the lives that brush against us

生活中碰到我们

Pass us by and by

擦肩而过

The friends who may or may not come

那些来或不来的朋友们

If we would first invite

如果我们第一次邀请

Oh to open doors

打开门

To always gladly fly and fly

总是高兴地飞呀飞

Into the sting of the cold

冷风刺骨

And the prick of the barded wire

就像带刺的铁丝网
