我的索求--杰西·貝麗·麗特豪斯

I bargained with life for a penny

我只求區(qū)區(qū)一枚硬幣

And life would pay no more, however, I begged at evening

不論我每晚怎么哀求，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

滿足你的索求

But once you have set the wages, why? You must bear the task

但是索求的數(shù)目一定，你就必須要承受重擔

I worked for a menial's hire

我卑微的勞作

Only to learn, dismayed that any wage I had asked of life

卻失望地發(fā)現(xiàn)

Life would have paid

生活本會給我一切
