The drinking dens are spilling out齿缝里溢出酒香
There’s staggering in the square人们漫游在大街上
There’s lads and lasses falling about年轻的姑娘和少年欢笑着
And a crackling in the air空气中弥漫中爱意
Down around the dungeon doors高塔的入口周围
The shelters in the queues是成列的风雨栅
Everybody’s looking for每个人都在寻觅着
Somebody’s arms to fall into投入某人的怀抱
And it’s what it is
It’s what it is now
There’s frost on the graves and the monuments霜雪落在墓地和纪念碑上
But the taverns are warm in town城市的酒馆里却温暖如春
People curse the government人们一边笑骂着政府
And shovel hot food down一边享用热腾腾的食物
The lights are out in city hall市政厅的灯光已熄
The castle and the keep
The moon shines down upon it all月亮安静的撒在城堡和要塞之上
The legless and asleep坡脚的人儿也进入梦乡
And it’s cold on a tollgate关卡依旧寒冷
With the wagons creeping through车辆缓慢的爬行穿梭
Cold on a tollgate关卡依旧寒冷
God knows what I could do with you上帝知道我能为你做什么
And It’s what it is
It’s what it is now
The garrison sleeps and the citadel士兵在堡垒里熟睡着
With the ghosts and the ancient stones幽灵和远古的岩石陪伴着他们
High up on the parapet一个苏格兰风笛手孤单的站在高高的堑壕胸墙上面
A Scottish piper stands alone
And high on the wind在风之上
The highland drums begin to roll是高原上擂起的鼓声
And something from the past just comes那感觉似乎来自远古
And stares into my soul蜷缩在我的灵魂深处
And it’s cold on a tollgate关卡依旧寒冷
Where the Caledonian blues弥漫着悠扬的苏格兰蓝调
Cold on a tollgate关卡依旧寒冷
God knows what I could do with you上帝知道我能为你做什么
And It’s what it is
It’s what it is now
What it is
It’s what it is now
There’s a chink of light裂缝中闪着亮
There’s a burning wick灯芯在燃烧
There’s a lantern in the tower高塔上摇曳着灯火
Wee Willie Winkie with a candlestick细小的烛台闪着光上
Still writing songs in the wee wee hours在这些微的空闲里我依然在写着歌
On Charlotte Street I take漫步在夏洛特大街上
A walking stick from my hotel我从旅馆里带出了一根手杖
The ghost of Dirty Dick肮脏的幽魂啊
Is still in search of Little Nell还在寻找着小内尔
And it’s what it is
It’s what it is now
Oh it’s what it is
