- Thousands of years ago
数千年前 - there came a night that lasted a generation.
在一个长达整整一代人的长夜里 - Kings froze to death in their castles,
城里的国王和茅屋里的羊倌 - same as the shepherds in their huts.
一样在严寒中冻死 - And women smothered their babies
母亲们宁可闷死自己的孩子 - rather than see them starve,
也不愿见他们挨饿受冻 - and wept and felt the tears freeze on their cheeks.
她们放声大哭,眼泪却冻结在脸颊上
