你是我生命作息的意義

Stop all the clocks cut off the telephone
把時鐘停住 把電話切斷
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone
給狗一塊骨頭 別讓它吠叫
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin
把琴聲凝住 在低沉的鼓聲中 把棺木抬出
Let the mourners come
讓送葬者進來
Let the aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
讓盤旋的飛機在頭上嗚咽
Scribbling on the sky the message "He is dead"
在天空潦草的寫著「他死了」
Put crepe bows around the white necks of the public doves
在鴿子的脖子上掛上蝴蝶結
Let traffic policeman wear black cotton gloves
讓交警帶上黑色手套
He was my North my South my East and West
他是我的東西南北
My working week and my Sunday rest
是我的作息意義
My noon my midnight my talk my song
是我的日夜 吹唱談話的內容
I thought that love would last forever
我以為愛可以天長地久
I was wrong
然而我錯了
The stars are not wanted now put out every one
繁星已無用 把他們熄滅吧
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun
收起月亮 掩蓋驕陽
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood
把海水抽乾 把森林掃掉
For nothing now can ever come to any good
從今以後 世上不在美好
