Beautiful William 美丽的威廉

One morning in May 五月的一个早晨

In a milk-white convertible 在奶白色敞篷

Drove slowly away 慢慢地开走

   

Beautiful William 美丽的威廉

With curly black hair 与卷曲的黑发

Gold rings on his fingers 在他的手指金戒指

As he held to the wheel 为他举行的轮

   

Was he given a package 被他给包

By a man on the train? 通过在火车上的男人？

We found his car by the roadside 我们发现他的车在路边

Later that day 当天晚些时候，

   

Mirrored sunglasses 镜面太阳镜

Roses and wine 玫瑰和葡萄酒

Laid on the empty seat 放在空座位

As he slowly drove by 当他慢慢驶过

   

He left his lights burning 他把灯烧

He left his perfect lawn 他留下了他完美的草坪

And his automatic sprinklers 和他的自动洒水喷头

About to switch on 即将开启

   

Did he find a black glove 他有没有发现一个黑色的手套

On the cliffs by the bay? 在悬崖上的海湾？

Why would he leave us? 他为什么要离开我们？

Why would he leave us this way? 他为什么要离开我们这样？

   

He drove through the town 他开着车穿过小镇

With a smile on his face 在他的脸上露出了笑容

Waving to everyone 挥手向大家

As he went on his way 当他上了路

   

Polly from Red River 波莉从红河

Rose from Green Falls 从绿色瀑布上涨

They drove to his house 他们把车开到他家

And they laid on the lawn 而且他们铺在草坪上

   

Was he stopped in the airport 他是在机场停

By a man with a cane? 一名男子带着一根手杖？

We found his car by the roadside 我们发现他的车在路边

Later that day 当天晚些时候，

   

Rose smashed his windows 玫瑰砸了窗

'Til the glass was all gone 直到玻璃都散了

Polly broke the backdoor 波利打破了后门

And she screamed down the hall 她尖叫了大厅

   

But no answer sounded 但无人接听响起

But wind flying through 但风吹过飞

As we tore up the green lawn 当我们撕碎了绿色的草坪

And torched all the rooms 并焚毁所有的房间

   

Did he find a white glove 他有没有找到一个白色的手套

In the pines by the lake? 在松树在湖边？

Why would he leave us? 他为什么要离开我们？

Why would he leave us this way? 他为什么要离开我们这样？
