In The Bleak Midwinter

sarah brightman - in the bleak midwinter
在寧靜的隆冬
in the bleak mid-winter
在寧靜的隆冬
frosty wind made moan,
風霜簌颯颯
earth stood hard as iron,
大地鋼鐵般堅硬
water like a stone;
池塘水晶般永恆
snow had fallen, snow on snow,
初雪已來,雪兒紛紛
snow on snow,
紛紛飛
in the bleak mid-winter
在寧靜的隆冬
long ago.
永恆的季節……
our god, heaven cannot hold him
我們的上帝,擁抱不住他的天堂
nor earth sustain;
維留不住他的大地
heaven and earth shall flee away
當他來臨時
when he comes to reign:
紛飛著鵝毛大雪天地寧靜了
in the bleak mid-winter
在寧靜的隆冬
a stable-place sufficed
一個寧靜的可以駐足之地
the lord god almighty,
全能的主啊
jesus christ.
仁慈的耶穌啊
angels and archangels
天使和大天使長
may have gathered there,
可能已經聚集在一起了
cherubim and seraphim
智天使和熾天使
thronged the air,
飛過天空
but only his mother1
但是他的母親
in her maiden bliss,
僅僅在那洋溢幸福的婚禮上
worshipped the beloved
被給予一個
with a kiss.
崇敬的吻
what can i give him,
如此平凡的我
poor as i am?
能給予他什麼呢？
if i were a shepherd
如果我是牧羊人
i would bring a lamb,
我會帶給他一隻羔羊
if i were a wise man
如果我是智者
i would do my part,
我會奉獻我所擁有的那一部分
yet what i can i give him,
但此時，我所能給予他的，
give my heart
只能是我的心！
