原歌词

[00:23.000]	I was an unmarried girl
[00:25.800]	I'd just turned twenty-seven
[00:30.000]	When they sent me to the sisters
[00:34.350]	For the way men looked at me
[00:37.350]	Branded as a jezebel
[00:41.800]	I knew I was not bound for Heaven
[00:45.800]	I'd be cast in shame
[00:47.850]	Into the Magdalene laundries
[00:59.500]	Most girls come here pregnant
[01:03.500]	Some by their own fathers
[01:08.150]	Bridget got that belly
[01:10.550]	By her parish priest
[01:15.000]	We're trying to get things white as snow
[01:17.680]	All of us woe-begotten-daughters
[01:21.400]	In the streaming stains
[01:23.850]	Of the Magdalene laundries
[01:35.000]	Prostitutes and destitutes
[01:39.000]	And temptresses like me
[01:41.300]	Fallen women
[01:44.350]	Sentenced into dreamless drudgery ...
[01:50.770]	Why do they call this heartless place
[01:54.300]	Our Lady of Charity?
[01:57.630]	Oh charity!
[02:07.050]	These bloodless brides of Jesus
[02:10.000]	If they had just once glimpsed their groom
[02:13.500]	Then they'd know, and they'd drop the stones
[02:17.500]	Concealed behind their rosaries
[02:21.100]	They wilt the grass they walk upon
[02:25.800]	They leech the light out of a room
[02:28.800]	They'd like to drive us down the drain
[02:32.300]	At the Magdalene laundries
[02:44.000]	Peg O'Connell died today
[02:46.600]	She was a cheeky girl, A flirt
[02:49.300]	They just stuffed her in a hole!
[02:51.250]	Surely to God you'd think at least some bells should ring!
[02:57.400]
[02:58.450]	One day I'm going to die here too
[03:02.100]	And they'll plant me in the dirt
[03:07.100]	(Like) Some lame bulb
[03:08.500]	That never blooms come any spring
[03:13.500]	How any spring
[03:16.400]	Oh....
[03:32.700]	Ah...
[03:41.050]	Nobody any spring
[03:50.200]	Not any spring
[03:56.000]

歌词翻译

[00:23.000]	我是一个未婚的女孩，
[00:25.800]	刚满27。
[00:30.000]	当他们派我到“姐妹”，
[00:34.350]	对于男人们这样看着我，
[00:37.350]	打着荡妇的烙印，
[00:41.800]	我知道我没有前往天堂。
[00:45.800]	我会感到耻辱
[00:47.850]	进入马格达林洗衣店。
[00:59.500]	大部分女孩来到这里已怀孕，
[01:03.500]	一些由自己的父亲。
[01:08.150]	布里奇特得到的肚子，
[01:10.550]	是她教区牧师的。
[01:15.000]	我们正试图把事情粉饰如雪白，
[01:17.680]	我们大家是休戚与共的、天父所生的女儿。
[01:21.400]	在污秽的
[01:23.850]	马格达林洗衣店。
[01:35.000]	妓女和无依无靠的女人，
[01:39.000]	还有像我这样的妖怪。
[01:41.300]	堕落的女人们，
[01:44.350]	被惩罚作无梦的苦役...
[01:50.770]	为什么他们把这种无情的地方
[01:54.300]	称“圣母慈善”？
[01:57.630]	噢，“慈善”！
[02:07.050]	这些信仰耶稣、没有生气的新娘，
[02:10.000]	若她们只有露脸一次的新郎。
[02:13.500]	当时他们已知情，并且他们落井下石，
[02:17.500]	躲在自己的念珠之后。（*天主教念珠会）
[02:21.100]	他们走时被遗弃的女人已衰弱枯萎，
[02:25.800]	他们吸尽血汗后匆匆离开。
[02:28.800]	他们希望把我们付诸东流，
[02:32.300]	在马格达林洗衣店
[02:44.000]	记牢今天，奥康内尔的死亡，
[02:46.600]	她是一个厚脸皮的女孩，一个调情者，
[02:49.300]	他们只是将她塞进一个土坑！
[02:51.250]
[02:57.400]	当然上帝你会觉得至少有一些福音钟声在鸣响！
[02:58.450]	有一天我也会死在这里，
[03:02.100]	他们把我扔进土里，
[03:07.100]	就像）那些腐烂的球茎，
[03:08.500]	永远等不到春天花开的时候……
[03:13.500]	怎么会有春天？
[03:16.400]
[03:32.700]
[03:41.050]	没人有春天
[03:50.200]	没有任何春天
[03:56.000]	注：MAGDALENE本意“妓女收容所”，翻译时保持直译“马格达林”的隐喻性。
