- Alison Krauss
- In the spring of 1856with the snow still on the ground
在1856年白雪依舊覆蓋大地的春天
Two little boys were lost in the mountains above the town
兩個小男孩迷失在凌駕於小鎮之上的大山中
The father went out hunting the boys had stayed behind
父親外出打獵時，男孩們緊隨其後
While mother tended to her chores they wandered from her side
而母親打算做家務時，他們在她身邊漫步
The two had gone to follow him and lost their way instead
男孩們緊緊跟隨著他卻迷了路
By dusk the boys had not been found and fear had turned to dread
直到黃昏男孩們也沒被找到，恐懼漸成絕望
Two-hundred men had gathered there to comb the mountain side
兩百個男人聚集在此，從山的一邊爬上去
The fires were built on the highest peak in hopes they'd see the light
火在最高的山峰上點燃，懷著能被男孩們看見的希望
Oh,mommy and daddy why can't you hear our cries
噢，母親和父親呀，你們能否聽見我們的哭聲
The day is almost over,soon it will be night
白天行將結束，夜晚就要來臨
We're so cold and hungry and our feet are tired and sore
我們如此寒冷如此飢餓，我們的雙腳如此疲憊如此疼痛
We promise not to stray again from our cabin door
我們許諾絕不再離開小木屋的門前
Now Jacob Diverd woke one night from a strange and erie dream
現在Jacob Diverd從奇怪的夢裡醒來，一夜未眠
He saw a path between two hills near a dark and swollen stream
他看見，靠近黑暗且漲水的小溪邊，兩座山丘之間有一條小路
He told his wife he saw the boys huddled close beside a log
他告訴妻子，他看見兩個男孩在一條原木旁擠成一團
For two more nights the dream returned this vision sent from God
連續兩個夜晚這個夢境不斷重現，傳來上帝的旨意
Oh,mommy and daddy why can't you hear our cries
噢，母親和父親啊，為何你們聽不見我們的哭泣
The day is almost over,soon it will be night
白天行將結束，黑夜就要來臨
We're so cold and hungry and our feet are tired and sore
我們如此寒冷如此飢餓，我們的雙腳如此疲憊如此疼痛
We promisenot to stray again from our cabin door
我們保證再也不離開小木屋的門前
A thousand men had searched in vain the west side of pop's creek
數以千計的人們徒然地在小溪的西邊尋找著
But Jacob's wife knew of this place and said to travel east
但Jacob的妻子知道具體位置並呼籲大家往東邊去
With a guide to take him there,Jacob came upon the scene
他帶著嚮導前往，Jacob來到現場
And found the boys cold and still beneath the old birch tree
發現男孩們渾身僵冷地待在老樺樹下
Oh,mommy and daddy,look past the tears you cry
噢，母親和父親呀，看看你們過去流過的眼淚
We're both up in Heaven now,God is by our side
現在我們都已升入天堂，上帝就在我們身側
As you lay us down to rest in the presence of the Lord
正如你們主張的一樣，我們依賴於上帝的存在
Know that we will meet you here at Heaven's door
我們會在上帝之門重逢
Oh,mommy and daddy,look past the tears you cry
噢，母親和父親呀，看看你們過去流過的眼淚
We're both up in Heaven now,God is by our side
現在我們都已升入天堂，上帝就在我們身側
And as you lay us down to rest in the presence of the Lord
正如你們教導的一樣，我們依賴於上帝的存在
Know that we will meet you here at Heaven's door
我們將在上帝之門重逢
