A Christmas Carol 圣诞颂歌

A Christmas Carol

by G. K. Chesterton

The Christ-child lay on Mary\'s lap,
His hair was like a light.
(O weary, weary were the world,
But here is all alright.)

The Christ-child lay on Mary\'s breast
His hair was like a star.
(O stern and cunning are the kings,
But here the true hearts are.

The Christ-child lay on Mary\'s heart,
His hair was like a fire.
(O weary, weary is the world,
But here the world\'s desire.)

The Christ-child stood on Mary\'s knee,
His hair was like a crown,
And all the flowers looked up at Him,
And all the stars looked down.



圣诞颂歌

主的孩子躺在圣母玛利亚的膝上，
他的头发如一束光。
(啊， 多么疲倦，多么疲倦，这个世界,
可是这里一切安详。

主的孩子躺在圣母玛利亚的胸上，
他的头发如一颗星。
(啊，多么苛刻，多么狡诈，这些国王，
可是这里真心至诚

主的孩子躺在圣母玛利亚的心上，
他的头发如一簇火。
(啊， 多么疲倦，多么疲倦，这个世界，
可是这里世界渴望。

主的孩子站在圣母玛利亚的膝头，
他的头发如一花冠。
所有的花儿抬头仰望着他
所有的星星低头看。
