[00:46.72]O light the candle, John
[01:24.84]The daylight has almost gone
[01:29.23]The birds have sung their last
[01:33.34]The bells call all to mass
[01:37.62]Sit here by my side
[01:41.71]For the night is very long
[01:46.20]There's something I must tell
[01:50.54]Before I pass along
[01:54.85]I joined the brotherhood
[02:00.98]My books were all to me
[02:05.54]I scribed the words of God
[02:09.84]And much of history
[02:14.14]Many a year was I
[02:18.25]Perched out upon the sea
[02:22.86]The waves would wash my tears,
[02:27.25]The wind, my memory
[02:34.25]I'd hear the ocean breathe
[02:38.07]Exhale upon the shore
[02:42.32]I knew the tempest's blood
[02:46.79]Its wrath I would endure
[02:51.20]And so the years went by
[02:55.62]Within my rocky cell
[03:00.00]With only a mouse or bird
[03:03.87]My friend; I loved them well
[03:10.95]And so it came to pass
[03:14.54]I'd come here to Romani
[03:19.37]And many a year it took
[03:23.26]Till I arrived here with thee
[03:27.96]On dusty roads I walked
[03:32.29]And over mountains high
[03:36.59]Through rivers running deep
[03:40.77]Beneath the endless sky
[04:24.97]Beneath these jasmine flowers
[04:28.76]Amidst these cypress trees
[04:32.99]I give you now my books
[04:37.48]And all their mysteries
[04:41.92]Now take the hourglass
[04:46.39]And turn it on its head
[04:50.75]For when the sands are still
[04:54.33]'Tis then you'll find me dead
[04:59.38]O light the candle, John
[05:03.45]The daylight is almost gone
[05:08.10]The birds have sung their last
[05:12.10]The bells call all to mass

[00:46.72]点燃蜡烛吧,约翰
[01:24.84]白日将尽
[01:29.23]鸟儿已唱响暮歌
[01:33.34]弥撒的钟声已敲响
[01:37.62]坐在我身旁
[01:41.71]因为黑夜很长
[01:46.20]我必须告诉你一些事情
[01:50.54]很久很久以前
[01:54.85]我加入了兄弟会
[02:00.98]我的书本都交给了我
[02:05.54]我写下神的话语
[02:09.84]以及许多历史
[02:14.14]许多许多年
[02:18.25]我栖息在海上
[02:22.86]海浪冲刷我的泪水
[02:27.25]风吹走我的记忆
[02:34.25]我听见大海的呼吸
[02:38.07]呼出在海岸上
[02:42.32]我熟悉暴风雨的血
[02:46.79]我会忍受他的愤怒
[02:51.20]如此年复一年
[02:55.62]在我麻木的细胞里
[03:00.00]伴着老鼠或者鸟儿
[03:03.87]我的朋友们,我真的很爱他们
[03:10.95]他来了
[03:14.54]来了一位吉普赛人
[03:19.37]许多年过去
[03:23.26]直到我和你来到这里
[03:27.96]我走在满是尘埃的道路上
[03:32.29]越过高山
[03:36.59]穿过急流
[03:40.77]在无尽的天空下
[04:24.97]在茉莉花丛中
[04:28.76]在柏树的怀抱里
[04:32.99]如今我给你我的书
[04:37.48]以及所有的秘密
[04:41.92]请拿起沙漏
[04:46.39]将它打开
[04:50.75]当沙子还在流动
[04:54.33]你会发现我已逝去
[04:59.38]哦,点燃蜡烛吧
[05:03.45]白夜将尽
[05:08.10]鸟儿唱着暮歌
[05:12.10]弥撒的钟声已响起
