And the green grass growin' 就连那青草

o'er my feet 都已爬过我的脚面

I ain't ahead, 我不会再次前行了

nor never will be 永远都不会

Till the sweet apple grows 除非有

On a sour apple tree 长出甜苹果

But still I hope 但我还是希望

the time will come 那一天的到来

When you and I 你和我

shall be as one 还会相聚

And sent his soul 让那灵魂

Then we might 那时我们可以相会在

meet where ravens fly 乌鸦群飞之处

Let our poor body rest in peace 让我们终于可以获得安息

The owl, the owl 猫头鹰啊猫头鹰

Is a lonely bird 你是孤单的鸟

It chills my heart 让我心寒

With dread and terror 带来恐惧

That someone's blood 有一片血迹

There on his wing 沾上了它的翅膀

That someone's blood 是谁的血迹啊

There on his feather 沾上它的羽毛
