You’ve been a fool and so have I,

I’ll be your wife.

And let us try before we die To make some sense of Life.

For we know we’re neither pure nor wise nor good;

We’ll do the best we know;

We’ll build our house,

And we’ll chop our wood,

And make our garden grow.

I thought the world was sugar-cake,

For so our Master said:

But now I’ll teach my hands to bake our loaf of daily bread.

Let dreamers dream what worlds they please;

Those Edens can’t be found.

The flow’rs,

The trees Are grown in solid ground.

 

我倆曾少不更事

現我將成為你的女人

請讓我們在離世前一起做點合理的事

 

我們並不冰清玉潔；沒有聰明才智；也不太善良

我們將盡力

建造容身之所

我們將砍木頭造園

 

我曾以為世界就像甜點

但師傅說：

現在就要自學烘烤我們每天的糧食

 

自欺欺人的總活得快樂

不要嘗試去找伊甸園了

因為花叢，

樹木都要在堅實的地面上才能生長
