A poor orphan girl named Maria
一个叫Maria的可怜孤儿
Was walking to market one day
有一天去市场
She stopped for a rest by the roadside
她在路边停下来休息片刻
Where a bird with a broken wing lay
那里躺着一只折断翅膀的鸟儿
A few moments passed till she saw it
片刻之后她恍然大悟
For it's feathers were covered with sand
因为它的羽毛被沙子覆盖
But soon clean and wrapped it was traveling
但很快就收拾好行李开始旅行
In the warmth of Maria's small hand
沐浴在Maria温暖的小手里
She happily gave her last peso
她很开心地给了她最后一分钱
On a cage made of rushes and twine
用灯芯草和麻线做成的笼子里
She fed it loose corn from the market
她用市场上的玉米喂它
And watched it grow stronger with time
看着这份爱随着时间愈发浓烈
Now the Christmas Eve service was coming
现在平安夜就要开始了
And the church shone with tinsel and light
教堂闪闪发光
And all of the townfolk brought presents
镇上的人都带了礼物来
To lay by the manger that night
那晚我躺在马槽旁
There were diamonds and incense and perfumes
到处都是钻石和香料
In packages fit for a king
包裹里装着一个国王
But for one ragged bird in a small cage
而是一只被关在小笼子里的衣衫褴褛的小鸟
Maria had nothing to bring
Maria没什么好带的
She waited till just before midnight
她一直等到午夜之前
So no one could see her go in
这样就没人看见她进来了
And crying she knelt by the manger
她跪在马槽旁哭泣
For her gift was unworthy of him
因为她的礼物配不上他
Then a voice spoke to her through the darkness
一个声音在黑暗中对她说
Maria what brings you to me
Maria什么风把你吹来了
If the bird in the cage is your offering
如果笼中鸟是你的礼物
Open the door let me see
把门打开让我看看
She trembled she did as he asked her
她瑟瑟发抖她按照他的要求做了
And out of the cage the bird flew
鸟儿飞出牢笼
Soaring up into the rafters
扶摇直上
On a wing that had healed good as new
已经愈合如初的羽翼之上
Just then the midnight bells rang out
就在这时午夜的钟声响起
And the little bird started to sing
小鸟开始歌唱
A song that no words could recapture
一首无法用语言再现的歌
Whose beauty was fit for a king
她的美貌配得上国王
Now Maria felt blessed just to listen
现在听到这些玛利亚都觉得很幸福
To that cascade of notes sweet and long
伴随着那串悦耳动听的音符
As her offering was lifted to heaven
当她的礼物被送到天上时
By the very first nightingale's song
第一首夜莺的歌声响起
