My Boy Builds Coffins
My boy builds coffins with hammers and nails
He doesnt build ships, he has no use for sails
我的男孩啊錘撞釘鑿地打造棺槨
He doesnt make tables, dresses or chairs
他不建船舶高揚的帆是無用功
He cant carve a whistle cause he just doesnt care
他不搭小桌也不顧及矮凳和衣著
My boy builds coffins for the rich and the poor
他不會雕刻哨子因為他毫不在意
Kings and queens them all knocked on his door
我的男孩啊為富庶白丁打造棺槨
Beggars and liars, gypsies and thieves
君主和皇后敲起門來爭先又恐後
They all come to impact hes so eager to please
乞丐和騙子吉普賽與偷竊者
My boy builds coffins he makes them all day
眾人一擁而入啊他樂此不疲地忙著
But its not just for work and it isnt for play
我的男孩啊日以繼日地打造棺槨
Hes made one for himself
但只為公事呀不供玩樂
One for me too
他為自己打造了靈柩
One of these days hell make one for you
也為我準備了槨殼
For you...
不久之久也要為你做一個
為你做一個
My boy builds coffins for better or worse
我的男孩啊打造棺槨不知求好求噩
Some say its a blessing, some say its a curse
有人說是祈福有人說是為禍
He fits them together in sunshine or rain
木材搭在一起陰晴雨雪從不耽誤
Each one is unique, no two are the same
每個都如此特別沒兩個一樣過
My boy builds coffins and I think its a shame
我的男孩啊打造棺槨我以此為恥
That when eachones been made, he cant see it again
每個傑作誕生之後就再也沒有見過
He crafts every one with love and repair
他的手藝精美用愛雕刻
Then its thrown in the ground and it just doesnt fit
但成品被搗壞在地啊它造得不合
My boy builds coffins he makes them all day
我的男孩啊沒日沒夜打造棺槨
But its not just for work and it isnt for play
但只為公事呀不供玩樂
Hes made one for himself
他為自己打造了靈柩
One for me too
也為我準備了槨殼
One of these days hell make one for you
不久之久也要為你做一個
For you...
為你做一個
