I heard the old man tell his tale: 我听到老头告诉他的故事：

   

Tinker, alone within a storm, 补锅匠，独自在一个暴风雨，

And losing hope he clears the leaves beneath a tree, 而失去希望，他清除了叶子的树底下，

Seven stones 七石头

Lay on the ground. 躺在地上。

Within the seventh house a friend was found. 在第七宫的朋友发现。

And the changes of no consequence will pick up the reins from nowhere. 而没有结果的变化将拿起缰绳不知从何处。

   

Sailors, in peril on the sea, 水手，在危机四伏的海面上，

Amongst the waves a rock looms nearer, and not yet seen. 当中海浪摇滚织机近，还没有看到。

They see a gull 他们看到了海鸥

Flying by. 飞过。

The Captain turns the boat and he asks not why. 船长变成了船，他问不为什么。

And the changes of no consequence will pick up the reins from nowhere. 而没有结果的变化将拿起缰绳不知从何处。

Nowhere. 没有出路的。

   

Despair that tires the world brings the old man laughter. 绝望的轮胎世界带来的老头笑。

The laughter of the world only grieves him, 世界上唯一的笑声他的悲痛，

believe him, 相信他的话，

The old man's guide is chance. 老人的指南是机会。
