the devil歌词

Devil在圣经/基督教里是魔鬼的意思，就是邪恶的力量

开头的陈述是一段V向上帝的祷告：

Lord, Thank you for today, Thank you for tomorrow

主啊，为了今天感谢你，为了明天感谢你

Lord, We pray that you may please fill this place right now with your presence

主啊，我们祷告，请你现在就用你的同在充满这个地方

Thank you for your love and grace

谢谢你的爱和恩典

Please remove any type of negativity, any type of fears, any type of doubts that we have in our body

请挪去我们身体里任何形式的消极，任何形式的恐惧，任何形式的怀疑

Father God, We pray you may please bless us with angels to protect us

天父上帝，我们祈求你请你祝福我们，让天使来保护我们

Lord Jesus, please come fill this place

主耶稣，请来充满这地

Please cancel out any, any type of attack that the Devil has on us

请消除魔鬼在我们身上的任何，任何形式的攻击

In Jesus' name, Amen

奉耶稣的名，阿门！

Down by the river where the cat-tails grow

在长着香蒲的河边

Up jumped the Devil trying to steal my soul

魔鬼跳出来想要偷取我的灵魂

But I fought with the Devil, I said No No No

但是我和魔鬼作战，我说“不不不”

Devil get down in your hole

魔鬼就下去(或可译很沮丧）进到洞里

If you walk with Jesus, you'll never be alone

如果你与耶稣同行，你就永不孤单

When you meet a begger, better let him in your home

如果你遇到一个乞丐，最好把他请进家

Give hime wine and bread like the Good Book said

就像圣经(在美国the Good Book指圣经)里说的那样，给他一些面包和葡萄酒

And if he's feeling weary, let him sleep in your bed

而且如果他感到疲倦，就让他睡在你的床上

Up in the mountain where the wise man prays

在山上一个智者在祷告

Crept up the hills to see his face

(我)悄悄爬上山去看他的容貌

Found him in the corner of a darkened cave stroking the fire with his diary page saying

在一个黑暗山洞的角落找到了他，他正在拨火苗(或可译给火堆添柴，拨动火苗），他的日记上写道：

Devil's on the level with the 7 inch shovel today

这一句很难翻译，我想了很久，也查了了一些东西，但还是没有最合适的翻译。直接字面翻译就是：魔鬼今天处于7英寸大铲子的水平。我根据上下文，觉得这里想表达的意思是魔鬼藏在地下(七英寸的铲子挖到的地方），或者说魔鬼像大铲子，随时可能攻击我们。如果其他人有更好的翻译，请和我分享！

Whether alive or dead, we end up the same

无论活着的还是死去的，我们的结局都是一样的

I pray dear Lord, my soul is saved

我祈求亲爱的上帝，我的灵魂是被拯救的

Never did I ever think if something so clever

我从来都没想到过这么聪明的东西:

Whatever cards we dealt we gon have to play

无论发到我们手里的牌是怎样的，我们都要玩下去

but with idle hands the road to hell is paved

但是漫无目的的出牌将把我们引入地狱(直译的话是通往地狱的路已经铺好了）

Lying, killing, stealing that’s the devil

and his dealing of pain and shame

欺骗，杀害，偷窃，这些就是魔鬼制造痛苦和耻辱的手段

No, I wouldn’t steer you wrong

不，我不会把你引导错

so heed the warnings of this song

所以（你要）听从这首歌的劝诫/警告

Time to get your cross and show the devil

who the boss is today，we pray

是时候拿起十字架告诉魔鬼今天谁是老板，我们祈祷

Father god come fill this place,

heal my heart Lord, as I pray

天父上帝请你来充满这里，主啊，医治我的心，就像我所祷告的
