The Tale of Twopenny
Little boy
小伙子啊
Listen, I’ll tell
听听我的故事
Little boy
小伙子啊
You can do well
你还能再加把劲
买进卖出
Buy and then sell,
钱包鼓鼓
Your pockets to swell,
魂归地狱，却只有两枚硬币相随左右
Go straight to hell like Twopenny!
小伙子啊，跟着他的脚步
一步一步
Little boy Follow his lead
总有平步青云日
Step by step
金银无数
You could succeed!
衣食无忧
到了僵卧流血时，却只剩下两个便士！
Wealth guaranteed!
两便士！
Never have need!
两便士！
Lie there and bleed like Twopenny!
他不是家财万贯？
他不是脑满肠肥？
Twopenny
两便士！
Twopenny
两便士！
His assets were many
只剩两手空荡荡
His silk purses burst at the seams
虫儿用他饱肚肠
Twopenny,
两便士上蛆舞忙
Twopenny,
有钱有势的大老爷
Now he’s not got any!
放下利债又收回
Invested by worms
究竟是哪笔黑暗交易
for infinite terms,
给他敲定最后结局
the maggots long squirm in Twopenny!
是他花了谁的血汗？
还是哪位忠诚友人
Men of wealth
慷慨地投资了他的死亡？
Borrow and lend
血海之中苦挣扎
What dark deal
Brought him his end?
银钱一并随风去
Whose coin did he spend?
财宝权势又如何
Which loyal friend
王子小丑又如何
Drew a dread dividend from Twopenny?
两眼硬币一蒙上，统统下地狱！
两便士！
Sea of blood
两便士！
Watch as he drowns
酒杯如今空荡荡
As he sinks
美酒倾在石头上
So goes the pound
两便士！
两便士！
Shillings and crowns
人人称道大英雄
Princes and clowns
随葬金钱尸骸烂
We all go down with Twopenny!
像那古时的木乃伊！
Twopenny
两便士！
Twopenny
两便士！
His goblet now empty
老菲利普啊，两便士！
His fine wine is splashed on the stones!
小伙子，细细听听他的故事！
两便士！
Twopenny
两便士！
Twopenny
老菲利普啊两便士！
A hero to many
我再唱一遍给你听：
Decays in his vault
他是块粪土葬进地！
Entombed with his gold
Like pharaohs of old, old Twopenny!
Twopenny
Twopenny
Old Philip Twopenny
My son, study closely his tale
Twopenny
Twopenny
Oh sing it again he’s
A turd that’s interred for eternity
Suck on it, old Phillip Twopenny!
