Eight Hours - Cincinnati's University Singers/George F. Root/George F. Root
Composed by：George F. Root
We mean to make things over
我们的使命就是结束压榨
We are tired of toil for naught
我们厌倦了无价值的劳作
With but bare enough to live upon
只能勉强维持生活
And ne'er an hour for thought
连片刻的思考时间都没有
We want to feel the sunshine
我们想要晒晒太阳
And we want to smell the flow'rs
我们想要闻闻花香
We are sure that God has willed it
我们确信上帝也站在我们这边
And we mean to have eight hours
我们注定要拥有八小时工作制
We're summoning our forces
我们召集起我们的力量
From the shipyard shop and mill
从船厂 商店到工厂
Eight hours for work eight hours for rest
八小时工作 八小时休息
Eight hours for what we will
八小时属于我们的自由时间
Eight hours for work eight hours for rest
八小时工作 八小时休息
Eight hours for what we will
八小时属于我们的自由时间
The beasts that graze the hillside
山坡上吃草的牛羊
And the birds that wander free
还有自由飞翔的小鸟
In the life that God has meted
过着上帝赐予的生活
Have a better life than we
生活得比我们更加幸福
Oh hands and hearts are weary
身心俱疲
And homes are heavy with dole
家庭依然背负沉重的不幸
If our life's to be filled with drudg'ry
如果我们的人生就是永无止境的辛劳
What need of a human soul
那灵魂拿来有什么用
Shout shout the lusty rally
呼唤 呼唤这充满活力的集会
From shipyard shop and mill
从船厂 商店到工厂
Eight hours for work eight hours for rest
八小时工作 八小时休息
Eight hours for what we will
八小时属于我们的自由时间
Eight hours for work eight hours for rest
八小时工作 八小时休息
Eight hours for what we will
八小时属于我们的自由时间
The voice of God within us
上帝的声音在我们心中响起
Is calling us to stand
召唤我们站起来
Erect as is becoming
坚定屹立
To the work of his right hand
他手边的工作
Should he to whom the Maker
他应该承担造物主之责
His glorious image gave
他的荣光给了
The meanest of his creatures crouch
蹲伏着的最卑鄙的生物
A bread-and-butter slave
为生计奔波的奴隶
Let the shout ring down the valleys
让这呐喊在山谷间回荡
And echo from every hill
在每一座山峰回荡
Eight hours for work eight hours for rest
八小时工作 八小时休息
Eight hours for what we will
八小时属于我们的自由时间
Eight hours for work eight hours for rest
八小时工作 八小时休息
Eight hours for what we will
八小时属于我们的自由时间
