The House on the Hill山上的老屋

They are all gone away,，他們都已離去，
The House is shut and still,，只留下大門(mén)緊閉的老屋,，
There is nothing more to say. 冷冷清清，默默無(wú)語(yǔ),。

Through broken walls and gray斷壁灰暗,，往日的舊居，
The winds blow bleak and shrill：凄厲的寒風(fēng)吹拂,，
They are all gone away. 他們都已離去,。

Nor is there one to-day人跡渺茫，滿(mǎn)目空虛,，
To speak them good or ill：誰(shuí)來(lái)把陳年是非講述,，
There is nothing more to say. 冷冷清清，默默無(wú)語(yǔ),。

Why is it then we stray我們?yōu)楹翁ぶ橎堑牟铰模?/span>
Around the sunken sill,？圍繞破敗的門(mén)窗徘徊盼顧？
They are all gone away,，他們都已離去,。

And our poor fancy-play那夢(mèng)幻般的嬉戲歡娛，
For them is wasted skill： 太過(guò)久遠(yuǎn),，太過(guò)模糊,，
There is nothing more to say. 冷冷清清，默默無(wú)語(yǔ),。

There is ruin and decay眼前唯有廢墟,，
In the House on the Hill：山上的這間老屋：
They are all gone away，他們都已離去,，
There is nothing more to say. 冷冷清清,，默默無(wú)語(yǔ),。

Whenever Richard Cory went down town,      每當(dāng)理查.珂利走進(jìn)鬧市

To make us wish that we were in his place.         誰(shuí)都盼望有他的福份
So on we worked, and waited for the light,          我們苦干,等著福光降臨
And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;      整月沒(méi)肉吃,面包討人嫌

Went home and put a bullet through his head.       回家朝自己腦袋放一顆子彈
