My grandfathers clock 爷爷的钟表
Was too large for the shelf 大得架子上放不下
So it stood ninety years on the floor 所以它在地板上呆了90年
It was taller by half Than the old man himself 它比爷爷还高一半
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more 虽然它顶多重1本尼威特
It was bought on the morn Of the day that he was born 它是爷爷出生的那天早上买来的
And was always his treasure and pride 那一直是他的财富和骄傲
But it stopped short 但是它突然停了
Never to go again 再也不走了
When the old man died 在老人去世的时候
Ninety years without slumbering 90年不眠不休
Tick, tock, tick, tock 嘀嗒，嘀嗒
His life seconds numbering 数着他生命的分秒
Tick, tock, tick, tock 嘀嗒，嘀嗒
It stopped short 它突然停了
Never to go again 再也不走了
When the old man died 在老人去世的时候
It watching its pendulum 它维持着钟摆
Swing to and fro 来回摆动
Many hours had he spent while a boy 在他的童年和成年
And in childhood and manhood 很多个小时过去了
The clock seemed to know 钟表似乎知道
And to share both his grief and his joy 而且分享着他的忧伤和快乐
For it struck twenty-four 时钟敲响了24点
When he entered at the door With a blooming and beautiful bride 当他带着年轻美丽的新娘进了门
But it stopped short 但它突然停了
Never to go again 再也不走了
When the old man died 在老人去世的时候
It rang an alarm In the dead of the night 在深夜它敲响了警钟
An alarm that for years had been dumb 它已经很多年没有响了
And we knew that his spirit Was pluming for flight 于是我们知道它的灵魂正准备飞翔
That his hour of departure had come 它离开的时刻到了
Still the clock kept the time 时钟仍显示着准确的时间
With a soft and muffled chime 用一种轻柔而压抑的鸣声
As we silently stood by his side 当我们静静地站在他身旁
But it stopped short 但它突然停了
Never to go again 再也不走了
When the old man died 在老人去世的时候”
