I was walking in Savannah

Past a church
经过一座教堂
Decayed and dim
腐朽黯淡
When slowly through the window
慢慢地透过窗户
Came a plaintive funeral hymn
传来哀婉的葬礼圣歌
And my sympathy awakened
我的同情心被唤醒
And a wonder quickly grew
奇迹迅速出现
Till I found myself environed
直到我发现自己身陷囹圄
In a little colored pew
坐在一张小小的彩色长椅上
Out front a colored couple sat
一对黑人夫妇坐在外面
In sorrow nearly wild
在悲伤中几近疯狂
On the altar was a casket

And in the casket was a child

I could picture him while living

Curly hair protruding lips
卷发凸唇
I'd seen perhaps a thousand

In my hurried southern trips
在我匆匆的南方之旅中
Rose a sad

Old colored preacher

From his little wooden desk

With a manner sort of awkward

And countenance grotesque

The simplicity and shrewdness
单纯又精明
In his ethiopian face

Showed the wisdom

And the ignorance of a crushed undying race

And he said

Now don't be weeping

For this pretty bit of clay

In the big house up above

He just think you need some sunshine

And he lent it for a while

And he let you keep

And love him till your hearts

Were bigger grown

And these silver tears you're shedding now
你流下的银色泪滴
Are just interest on the loan

Just think my poor dear mourners

Creeping long on sorrows way
在悲伤的道路上徘徊
What a blessed picnic this here baby got today

Your good fathers and good mothers

Crowd the little fella round

In the angels tender garden

Of the big plantation ground

And his eyes they brightly sparkle

At the pretty things he view

But a tear came and he whispered

But then the angel's chief musicians teach

That little boy a song
