In The Bleak Midwinter

sarah brightman - in the bleak midwinter
在宁静的隆冬
in the bleak mid-winter
在宁静的隆冬
frosty wind made moan,
风霜簌飒飒
earth stood hard as iron,
大地钢铁般坚硬
water like a stone;
池塘水晶般永恒
snow had fallen, snow on snow,
初雪已来,雪儿纷纷
snow on snow,
纷纷飞
in the bleak mid-winter
在宁静的隆冬
long ago.
永恒的季节……
our god, heaven cannot hold him
我们的上帝,拥抱不住他的天堂
nor earth sustain;
维留不住他的大地
heaven and earth shall flee away
当他来临时
when he comes to reign:
纷飞着鹅毛大雪天地宁静了
in the bleak mid-winter
在宁静的隆冬
a stable-place sufficed
一个宁静的可以驻足之地
the lord god almighty,
全能的主啊
jesus christ.
仁慈的耶稣啊
angels and archangels
天使和大天使长
may have gathered there,
可能已经聚集在一起了
cherubim and seraphim
智天使和炽天使
thronged the air,
飞过天空
but only his mother1
但是他的母亲
in her maiden bliss,
仅仅在那洋溢幸福的婚礼上
worshipped the beloved
被给予一个
with a kiss.
崇敬的吻
what can i give him,
如此平凡的我
poor as i am?
能给予他什么呢？
if i were a shepherd
如果我是牧羊人
i would bring a lamb,
我会带给他一只羔羊
if i were a wise man
如果我是智者
i would do my part,
我会奉献我所拥有的那一部分
yet what i can i give him,
但此时，我所能给予他的，

只能是我的心！
