The Old Changing Way
Im Darby the tinker and my brother is Tam
我是補鍋匠Darby,我的兄弟叫Tam
We go where the work is, me boys and we work where we can
哪兒有活兒,我和我的兒子們就去哪
With the mending and fixing, its together we stay
我們一起工作,修修補補
Intending our fortunes to try on the old changing way
我們嘗試著古老的改變方式,希望能掙到錢
We come to your cities and we call on your wives
我們來到你們的城市,我們挨家挨戶拜訪主婦們
Well fix up your kettles, please dear missus, well sharpen your knives
夫人,求求你,我們能補好你的鍋,磨利你的刀
And we always agreed that together wed stay
我們決定要一直待在一起
Intending our fortunes to try on the old changing way
我們嘗試著古老的改變方式,希望能掙到錢
Now times, they grow scanty and the money grew thin
現在賺錢的機會越來越不足,賺的錢也越來越少
We worked for a song but the money, it didnt come in
我們出賣著廉價的勞動力,卻總是賺不來錢
Now brothers are kindred but hard times betray
現在我們都是兄弟姐妹,但苦日子開始顯露行跡
And so we stumbled apart on the old changing way
我們在古老的改變方式上磕磕絆絆
We never agreed to divide our tin
我們絕不分道而去
And when youre out of love with your brother, your hard times begin
當你與兄弟們緣分已盡,你的苦日子就開始了
For the spikes and the brothels, they are shameful to see
烈酒和妓院都不是體面的東西
But dont you travel alone, boys, this warning you take from me
但是孩子們,我警告你們,千萬不要獨自上路
You must share with your nearest till the end of your days
你必須一直和身邊的人相伴而行
Or else its forever youll roam the old changing way
否則你會一直流浪在古老的改變方式上
