The Stolen Child

Where dips the rocky highland
在那浸漫石崖的
Of Sleuth Wood in the lake
锡林丝森林湖，
There lies a leafy island
坐落有一个绿叶岛；
Where flapping herons wake
在这里，苍鹭扑打着羽翼醒来，
The drowsy water rats
水鼠昏昏欲睡；
There we've hid our fairy mats
那里隐藏了我们仙子的筵席，
Full of berries
摆满浆果，
And of reddest stole cherries
和偷来的最红的樱桃。
Come away, O human child
来吧，噢——人类的孩子
To the waters and the wild
到水和旷野中去
With a fairy, hand in hand
和仙子一起，手牵着手
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand
因为世上哭泣之多，超越了你所可以理解的。
Where the wandering water gushes
此地奔流的潮水，
From the hills above glen-Car
从格林卡的山上来。
In pools among the rushes
激流间的水池，
That scarce could bathe a star
难得能沐浴一丝星光。
We seek for slumbering trout
我们寻找睡着的鲑鱼，
And whispering in their ears
在它们耳边窃窃私语，
Give them unquiet dreams
给它们带来喧嚷的夜梦，
From ferns that drop their tears
从滴洒泪珠的蕨丛深处。
Come away, O human child
来吧，噢——人类的孩子
To the waters and the wild
到水和旷野中去
With a fairy, hand in hand
和仙子一起，手牵着手
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand
因为世上哭泣之多，超越了你所可以理解的。
Away with us he's going
他要来和我们一起离开，
The solemn eyed
这个眼神忧郁的孩子，
He'll no more hear the lowing
他将不再听见那低沉叫声，
Of the cows on the warm hillside
发自暖洋洋山坡上的牛群。
For he comes, the human child
因为他来了，那人类的孩子
To the waters and the wild
到水和旷野中去
With a fairy, hand in hand
和仙子一起，手牵着手
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand
因为世上哭泣之多，超越了你所可以理解的。
