On a winter's night, stars are cold and bright in the sky, 在一个冬天的夜晚，星星是冷的，明亮的天空，

The slumber of the earth is pure and deep 地球的睡眠是纯粹的和深

From a distant wood, drifts the echo of a beast 从遥远的木材，漂移野兽的回声

The old man stirs and wakens in the night 老头搅拌和wakens在夜间

He stands before his window gazing at the grave 他表示，在他的窗口注视着坟墓

Forgotten dreams are flashing through his weary mind 被遗忘的梦想是通过自己疲惫的心灵闪烁

And though his life is empty, he pretends that she's still there 虽然他的生命是空的，他假装她还在那里

   

With hunger in his soul, he yearns for life and love gone by, 饥饿在他的灵魂，他渴望生命和爱的过去了，

With memories his one and only joy 随着他的回忆之一，只有欢乐

All he has to give, he would give to bring back the life, 所有他必须给，他就会给带回生活，

And raise the one who lies beneath the snow 提高一个谁的谎言之下雪

He lights a lamp and looks at pictures of the past 他点亮一盏灯，看起来在过去的照片

The faces of their youth still glow with new-found love, 青春的面孔依然焕发着新发现的爱，

But the picture's faded, and time has stolen youth away 但画面的褪色，而且时间已经被盗走青春

   

With a spoken word that he thought he heard from her lips, 用口头语言，他认为他从她的嘴唇听到，

He felt another presence in the room, 他认为存在的另一个房间里，

He was filled with fear but filled with joy he arose 他充满了恐惧，但充满了喜悦，他起身

And turned to face the image that he knew 转身面对他知道图像

She stood before him and her hand reached out for his 她站在他面前，她的手伸出了他的

A peaceful light shone in her eyes 一个和平的光线照在她的眼睛

She said she'd come to soothe him, and someday they'd be as one 她说她会来安慰他，总有一天他们会为一

   

She began to fade and her image disappeared, 她开始褪色，她的形象消失了，

And with a lightened heart he saw the first of dawn, 并与被照亮的​​心脏，他看到的第一个黎明，
