原歌词
[00:00.000] 作词 : Neale
[00:32.977] Good King Wenceslas looked out, on the Feast of Stephen,
[00:39.112] When the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even.
[00:45.071] Brightly shone the moon that night, though the frost was cruel,
[00:51.519] When a poor man came in sight, gath’ring winter fuel.
[01:00.041] “Hither, page, and stand by me, if you know it, telling,
[01:05.700] Yonder peasant, who is he? Where and what his dwelling?”
[01:11.395] “Sire, he lives a good league hence, underneath the mountain,
[01:17.533] Right against the forest fence, by Saint Agnes’ fountain.”
[01:52.964] “Sire, the night is darker now, and the wind blows stronger,
[02:00.046] Fails my heart, I know not how; I can go no longer.”
[02:04.873] “Mark my footsteps, my good page, tread now in them boldly,
[02:10.847] You shall find the winter’s rage freeze your blood less coldly.”
[02:19.662] In his master’s steps he trod, where the snow lay dinted;
[02:24.845] Heat was in the very sod which the saint had printed.
[02:30.858] Therefore, Christian men, be sure, while God’s gifts possessing,
[02:37.618] You who now will bless the poor shall yourselves find blessing.
歌词翻译
[00:32.977] 仁慈君王温塞斯拉斯,于圣斯蒂芬节凝望,
[00:39.112] 皑皑白雪覆大地,深厚平整闪银光。
[00:45.071] 纵然寒霜凛冽刺骨,那夜月华皎洁明亮,
[00:51.519] 忽见贫者入眼帘,正拾寒冬薪柴忙。
[01:00.041] "近前来,侍童,立于我侧,若你知晓细讲,
[01:05.700] 远处农人他是谁?居所何处在何方?"
[01:11.395] "陛下,他住三里外,山麓之下近村庄,
[01:17.533] 紧邻森林围栏处,圣艾格尼丝泉旁。"
[01:52.964] "陛下,夜色愈深沉,狂风呼啸愈张狂,
[02:00.046] 我心莫名生怯意,再难前行步彷徨。"
[02:04.873] "踏我足迹前行,好侍童,勇敢踩霜雪,
[02:10.847] 严冬怒号虽凛冽,难凉热血暖心房。"
[02:19.662] 他循主人足迹行,雪地深痕显方向,
[02:24.845] 圣者踏过草甸处,泥土犹自带温存。
[02:30.858] 基督徒众当谨记,蒙神恩赐享丰裕,
[02:37.618] 施恩贫者得福泽,必获天佑永绵长。
