歌曲歌詞
Rows of lights in a circle of steel
圓鋼中的一排光
Where you place your bets on a great big wheel
你把賭注押在一個大輪上
High windows flickerin' down through the snow
高高的窗戶閃爍下來的雪
A time you know
在同時，你知道的
Sights and sounds of the people goin' 'round
圍觀的群象和聲響
Everybody's in step with the season
每個人都同季節一樣
A child is born to a welfare case
一個孩子出生在一個福利案件中
Where the rats run around like they own the place
在一個老鼠們四處奔跑為家的地方
The room is chilly, the building is old
舊居陋室
That's how it goes
就只是這樣
The doctor's found on his welfare round
醫生髮現了他的福利待遇
And he comes and he leaves on the double
當其來到，他卻疾走
Deck The Halls was the song they played
他們演奏著《閃亮的聖誕》（一首威爾斯傳統新年頌歌）
In the flat next door where they shout all day
在他們整天大鬧的隔壁房裡
She tips her gin bottle back till it's gone
她把金酒瓶拿回來直至其離
The child is strong
健壯的孩子
A week, a day, they will take it away
一周，一天，他們將其帶走
For they know about all her bad habits
因他們知道她所有的陋習
Christmas dawns and the snow lets up
聖誕破曉，積雪消融
And the sun hits the handle of her heirloom cup
太陽擊中了她傳家的杯子把手
She hides her face in her hands for a while
她忽地把臉藏在手裡
Says look here child
說：看這孩子
Your father's pride was his means to provide“
你父親以他所給予的財富為傲”
And he's servin' three years for that reason“
他為此服務了三年”
Rows of lights in a circle of steel
圓鋼中的一排光
Where you place your bets on a great big wheel
你把賭注押在一個大輪上
High windows flickerin' down through the snow
高高的窗戶閃爍下來的雪
A time you know
在同時，你知道的
Sights and sounds of the people goin' 'round
圍觀的群象和聲響
Everybody's in step with the season
每個人都同季節一樣
