In the bleak midwinter, frost wind made moan,
在宁静的隆冬,风霜簌飒飒
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
大地钢铁般坚硬,池塘水晶般永恒
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
初雪已来,雪儿纷纷,纷纷飞
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.
在宁静的隆冬,永恒的季节……
Our God, heaven cannot hold him, nor earth sustain;
我们的上帝,拥抱不住他的天堂,维留不住他的大地
Heaven and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign.
当他来临时,纷飞着鹅毛大雪天地宁静了
In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed
在宁静的隆冬,一个宁静的可以驻足之地
The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ.
上帝,上帝……耶稣,耶稣
Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
天使们可能已经聚集在一起了
Cherubim and Seraphim thronged the air;
智天使和炽天使飞过天空
But his mother only, in her maiden bliss,
但是他的母亲,仅仅在那洋溢幸福的婚礼上
Worshiped the beloved with a kiss.
被给予一个崇敬的吻
What can I give him, poor as I am?
如此平凡的我,能给予他什么呢?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
如果我是牧羊人,我会带给他一只羔羊!
If I were a Wise Man, I would do my part;
如果我是智者,我会奉献我所拥有的那一部分!
Yet what I can I give him:give my heart.
但此时,我所能给予他的,只能是我的心!
