It was Christmas in prison 它是圣诞节的监狱

And the food was real good 而食物是真正的好

We had turkey and pistols 我们有火鸡和手枪

Carved out of wood 木头雕刻的

And I dream of her always 我梦见她总是

Even when I don't dream 即使我没有梦想

Her name's on my tongue 她的名字在我的舌头

And her blood's in my stream. 而她的血液在我的流。

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

Wait awhile eternity 等待片刻永恒

Old mother nature's got nothing on me 母亲老了大自然的什么都没有对我

Come to me 到我这里来

Run to me 运行到我

Come to me, now 到我这里来，现在

We're rolling 我们推出

My sweetheart 我的爱人

We're flowing 我们流

By God! 上帝呀！

   

She reminds me of a chess game 她想起了一盘棋我

With someone I admire 有一个我很佩服

Or a picnic in the rain 或在雨中野餐

After a prairie fire 经过燎原

Her heart is as big 她的心脏一样大

As this whole goddamn jail 由于这整个该死的监狱

And she's sweeter than saccharine 和她比糖精更甜

At a drug store sale. 在药店出售。

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

The search light in the big yard 在大院里的探照灯

Swings round with the gun 秋千轮枪

And spotlights the snowflakes 和聚光灯的雪花

Like the dust in the sun 像的灰尘在阳光下

It's Christmas in prison 这是圣诞节在监狱

There'll be music tonight 以后还有今晚的音乐

I'll probably get homesick 我可能会想家

I love you. Goodnight. 我爱你。晚安。

   

[Chorus] [合唱]
