Whispers of ancients buried by dust, 古人埋藏私语灰尘，

Echoes of ages in canyons of rust, 年龄在生锈的峡谷回声，

Is heaven so lonely? I'll know soon enough 天堂如此寂寞？我就知道很快

   

Cold as the clay, dark as a mine, 冷如粘土，黑暗的矿，

Wasting away blood, sweat, and grime 日渐消瘦的血液，汗水和尘垢

Panning for gold, picking for dimes, lying in wait for better times 淘金，采摘助攻，趴在等待更好的时间

   

The tools of the trade lie shopworn and old 该行业的工具说谎shopworn老

The skills of the master done died with his soul 大师的技能做死了，他的灵魂

And the worklike routine is so lonely and cold 而worklike程序是如此的孤独和寒冷

   

Cold as the clay, dark as the mine, 冷如粘土，暗雷，

Wasting away, blood, sweat and grime, 日渐消瘦，鲜血，汗水和污垢，

Panning for gold, picking for dimes, lying in wait for better times 淘金，采摘助攻，趴在等待更好的时间

   

The land was converted, the river was moved, 土地被转换，河水很感动，

The village expanded, some say it's improved, 扩大了的村庄，有人说这是好转，

But the lingering feature is a grim attitude 但挥之不去的特点是一个严峻的态度

   

Cold as the clay, dark as the mine, 冷如粘土，暗雷，

Wasting away, blood, sweat and grime, 日渐消瘦，鲜血，汗水和污垢，

Panning for gold, picking for dimes, lying in wait for better times 淘金，采摘助攻，趴在等待更好的时间
