- The Highwayman - Phil Ochs
The wind was a torrent of darkness
風，是黑暗的急流
在驟然洶湧的樹浪間
Among the gusty trees
月，是三桅帆船
The moon was a ghostly galleon
幽靈般顛簸在雲海上
路，是一條月光織成的緞帶
Tossed upon the cloudy seas
飄然於紫色荒野
The road was a ribbon of moonlight
這時強盜縱馬奔來
Over the purple moor
飛奔，飛奔
And the highwayman came riding
強盜飛奔而來
Riding riding
疾停在路旁那古老的客棧門邊
Yes the highwayman came riding
馬蹄碎步
Up to the old indoor
黑色院子卵石喀塔
Over the cobbles he clattered
他用鞭子輕打百葉窗
And clashed in the dark innyard
客棧門窗緊閉
And he tapped with his whip on the shutters
他仰首對窗口輕吹一曲
But all was locked and barred;
誰在那兒等待
So he whistled a tune to the window
是房東的黑眸女兒
Who should be waiting there
房東的女兒貝絲
But the landlord's black eyed daughter
她正將深紅的不變愛結
Bess the landlord's daughter
綁在長長黑髮上
Plaiting a dark red love knot
“來吻一下親愛的，
Into her long black hair
今晚我要追逐一筆財寶
One kiss my bonny sweetheart
我將帶著黃金歸來
在早晨的第一縷陽光前;
I'm after a prize tonight
如果我遇上麻煩,
But I shall be back with the yellow gold
被糾纏一整天,
Before the morning light;
那麼在月光下為我守望
Yet if they press me sharply
在月光下等我歸來
And harry me through the day
我將在月光下回到你身邊
Then look for me by moonlight
即便闖過地獄。 ”
Watch for me by the moonlight
拂曉時他沒回來
And I'll come to thee by moonlight
晌午時他沒回來
Though hell should bar the way
茶色夕陽下
He did not come at the dawning;
月亮尚未升起
No he did not come at noon
驛道如吉普賽緞帶
And out of the tawny sunset
回游曲繞在紫色荒野上
Before the rise of the moon
一群紅衣的英國士兵列隊行軍
When the road was a gypsy's ribbon
行軍，行軍
Looping the purple moor
喬治國王的士兵
Oh a red coat troop came marching
湧到這座古老客棧的門前
Marching marching
他們把她捆綁起來
King George's men came marching
吃吃獰笑
Up to the old indoor
他們在她身上捆了一杆槍
They boought the landlow catter
槍口正對她胸膛
With many a sniggering jest;
“來，好好站崗！”
They had bound a musket beside her
他們調戲吻她
With the barrel beneath her breast
這時她又聽見
Now keep good watch
“在月光下為我守望
And they kissed her
在月光下等我歸來
She heard the dead man say
我將在月光下回到你身邊
即便闖過地獄。”
Look for me by moonlight
“在月光下為我守望”
馬蹄聲由遠而至
Watch for me by moonlight
“在月光下等我歸來”
And I'll come to thee by moonlight
難道他們聾了，難道他們沒聽見？
Though hell should bar the way
沿山脊垂下，強盜疾馳奔來
Look for me by moonlight
她深深的吸了最後一口氣
Look it again in clear
然後她的手指在月光下扣動
Watch for me by moonlight
槍聲震碎了這個世界的月光
Where they dead that they did not here for he
撕碎了她的胸膛
Road down the Gypsy highway
以死警示她的愛人
She brings one final brother
That her finger move then the moon light
他策馬向西
Her must keep shat her the moonlight
他不知道她立在那裡
她依在槍膛上
And then shat her brighten the moonlight
滿是她的鮮血
And walk him with her down
終於在黎明前明白這槍聲
Oh
他面如死灰
He turned; he spurred to the west;
阿，貝絲，房東的女兒
He did not know who stood
老房東的黑眸姑娘
Now with her black over follow down
在月光下為愛守望整整一夜
Drenched with her own red blood
死在濃黑的夜色中
No not till the dawn had heard it;
他瘋狂地策馬回頭
And his face grew grey to hear
尖聲詛咒刺破了天空
How Bess the landlord's daughter
身後蒼白的驛道塵土飛揚
The landlord's black eyed daughter
他揮舞長劍
Had watched for her love in the moonlight
And died in the darkness there
午夜月光下
Back he spurred like a madman
是他鮮紅的馬刺
Shrieking a curse to the sky
酒紅天鵝絨大衣
With the white road smoking
他們把他射倒在大路上
Behind him and his rapier
Brandished high
如狗一般躺在大路上
Blood red were the spurs
他的鮮血淌滿大地
Then the golden noon;
染紅了他腭下紮帶飄飄
Wine red was his velvet coat
於是某個冬天的夜晚，人們依然會說
When they shot him down
當風湧林間
On the highway
當月如三桅帆船
Down like a dog on the highway
幽靈般顛簸在雲海上
And he lay in his blood on the highway
當路似一條月光織成的緞帶
With the bunch of lace at his throat
飄然於紫色荒野
And still of a winter's night they say
一個強盜會縱馬奔來
When the wind is in the trees
飛奔，飛奔
When the moon is a ghostly galleon
一個強盜飛奔而來
Tossed upon the cloudy seas
疾停在路旁那古老的客棧門邊
When the road is a ribbon of moonlight
Over the purple moor
Oh a highwayman comes riding
Riding riding
Yes a highwayman comes riding
Up to the old indoor
