When I was a girl I had a favourite story

当我还是个小女孩 我有一个最爱的故事

Of the meadowlark who lived where the rivers wind

在河流蜿蜒的地方生活着草地鹨

Her voice could match the angels in its glory

她的声音有如天籁

But she was blind

但是她看不见

The lark was blind

An old king came and took her to his palace

一个老国王把她带回自己的宫殿

Where the walls were burnished bronze and golden braid

那里的墙壁装饰着黄金的纹样 像黄铜一样铮亮

And he fed her fruit and nuts from an ivory chalice and he prayed

Sing for me my meadowlark

我的草地鹨 为我歌唱

Sing for me of the silver morning

在晨光初现时 为我歌唱

Set me free my meadowlark

And Ill buy you a priceless jewel

我会给你买无价的珠宝

And cloth of brocade and crewel

还有织锦刺绣的衣服

And Ill love you for life if you will

Sing for me

Than one day as the lark sang by the water

有一天 这只鸟在河边唱歌

The God of the sun heard her in his flight

And her singing moved him so he came and brought her

The gift of sight

He gave her sight

他让她重见光明

And she opened her eyes to the shimmer and the splendour

Of this beautiful young god so proud and strong

And he called to the lark in a voice both rough and tender

Come along

来吧

Fly with me my meadowlark

Fly with me on the silver morning

Past the sea where the dolphins bark

飞过海豚嬉闹的海洋

We will dance on the coral beaches

我们将在珊瑚沙滩上跳舞

Make a feast of the plums and peaches

享受着水果的盛宴

Just as far as your vision reaches

飞到你目之所及的地方

Fly with me

But the meadowlark said no

但是她拒绝了

For the old king loved her so

因为那个老国王很爱她

She couldnt bear to wound his pride

So the sun God flew away and when the king came down that day

后来太阳神飞走了 国王来了

He found his meadowlark had died

他发现草地鹨已经死了

Every time I heard that part I cried

每次我听到那一段 我就会流泪

And now I stand here starry-eyed and stormy

Oh just when I thought my heart was finally numb

当我的心觉得麻木时候

A beautiful young man appears before me

Singing come

Oh wont you come

And what can I do if finally for the first time

第一次我能做些什么呢

The one Im burning for returns the glow

我要燃烧自己照亮别人吗

If love has come at last its picked the worst time

如果爱情在最坏的时候来临

Still I know

我知道

Ive got to go

我要接受它

Fly away meadowlark

飞走吧 草地鹨

Fly away in the silver morning

在晨光初现时飞走

If I stay Ill grow to curse the dark

如果我留下 我会诅咒黑夜

So its off where the days wont bind me

I know I leave wounds behind me

我知道我把伤痛留在身后

But I wont let tomorrow find me

Back this way

再一次回来

Before my past once again can blind me

在过去的生活再一次蒙蔽我的双眼之前

Fly away

飞走吧

And we wont wait to say goodbye

My beautiful young man and i

我的白马王子和我
