My Wage 我的索求 I bargained with life for a penny 我只求区区一枚硬币 And life would pay no more, however, I begged at evening 不论我每晚怎么哀求,生活都置之不理 For life is a just employer 生活就是你的雇主 He gives you what you ask 满足你的索求 But once you have set the wages, why? You must bear the task 但是索求的数目一定,你就必须要承受重担 I worked for a menial's hire 我卑微的劳作 Only to learn, dismayed that any wage I had asked of life 却失望地发现 Life would have paid 生活本会给我一切 |
