The Old Changing Way

I'm Darby the tinker and my brother is Tam
我是补锅匠Darby,我的兄弟叫Tam
We go where the work is, me boys and we work where we can
哪儿有活儿，我和我的儿子们就去哪
With the mending and fixing, it's together we stay
我们一起工作，修修补补
Intending our fortunes to try on the old changing way
我们尝试着古老的改变方式，希望能挣到钱
We come to your cities and we call on your wives
我们来到你们的城市，我们挨家挨户拜访主妇们
We'll fix up your kettles, please dear missus, we'll sharpen your knives
夫人，求求你，我们能补好你的锅，磨利你的刀
And we always agreed that together we'd stay
我们决定要一直待在一起
Intending our fortunes to try on the old changing way
我们尝试着古老的改变方式，希望能挣到钱
Now times, they grow scanty and the money grew thin
现在赚钱的机会越来越不足，赚的钱也越来越少
We worked for a song but the money, it didn't come in
我们出卖着廉价的劳动力，却总是赚不来钱
Now brothers are kindred but hard times betray
现在我们都是兄弟姐妹，但苦日子开始显露行迹
And so we stumbled apart on the old changing way
我们在古老的改变方式上磕磕绊绊
We never agreed to divide our tin
我们绝不分道而去
And when you're out of love with your brother, your hard times begin
当你与兄弟们缘分已尽，你的苦日子就开始了
For the spikes and the brothels, they are shameful to see
烈酒和妓院都不是体面的东西
But don't you travel alone, boys, this warning you take from me
但是孩子们，我警告你们，千万不要独自上路
You must share with your nearest till the end of your days
你必须一直和身边的人相伴而行
Or else it's forever you'll roam the old changing way
否则你会一直流浪在古老的改变方式上
