The Mourning Tree

I passed the day at the mourning tree
我于悲哀树下度过一日
Where the river's sorrows run deep,
树下河流的悲伤流深
And all at once a host of birds
忽然一群鸟儿飞了过来
Did settle and nest around me.
在我身旁筑巢定家
In their song, I heard your song
我于他们的歌声中听到了你的歌声
I heard the bomber's drone,
我听到了轰炸机的嗡嗡声
Beneath those birds and the swaying wheat
在那下面是那些鸟儿和摇曳的小麦
I heard you coming home.
我听到了你呼唤我回家
Oh my love, where did you fly
哦亲爱的，你飞往了何处
After you came home to me?
在你回到我身旁之后？
Like the nightjar you left me here
如夜莺一般留我在此处
To nest in the mourning tree.
只为了在悲哀树下筑巢
