【晚聽英語】他曾是我的東南西北

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, 
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. 
停下所有的時鐘，切斷電話
用一塊流汁的骨頭堵住狗的嘴巴
讓息聲的鋼琴陪伴緘默的鼓
抬出靈柩吧，讓哀悼的人們進入

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message 「He is Dead.」
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, 
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
讓一架架飛機在頭頂上盤旋悲泣
在空中草草寫下他已逝去的訊息
把紗領結在街頭鴿子的脖頸上系好
讓交通警察們戴上黑色的棉質手套

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.
他曾經是我的西，我的東，我的北，我的南
我的工作周，我的星期天
我的午時，我的夜半，我的話語，我的頌歌
我曾經滿心以為愛會永垂不朽：卻大錯特錯

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one, 
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;
For nothing now can ever come to any good. 
不需要星星了，熄滅每一粒光
把月亮收進包裡吧，拆掉太陽
倒盡大海的水，砍光森林的樹
因為這一切，不再有任何用處
