| [00:00.000] | 作曲 : Traditional Song |
| [00:00.210] | High in the belfry the old sexton stands, |
| [00:04.260] | Clasping the rope with his thin bony hands; |
| [00:08.040] | Fixed is his gaze as by some magic spell, |
| [00:11.913] | Till he hears the distant murmur, ring, ring the bell! |
| [00:15.272] | Ring the bell, watchman, ring! |
| [00:19.566] | Yes, yes the good news is now on the wing; |
| [00:23.253] | Yes, yes they come, and with tidings to tell; |
| [00:27.024] | Glorious and blessed tidings, ring, ring the bell! |
| [00:30.860] | Baring his long silver locks to the breeze, |
| [00:34.683] | First for a moment he drops on his knees; |
| [00:38.462] | Then with a vigor that few could excel, |
| [00:42.185] | Answer he the welcome bidding, ring, ring the bell! |
| [00:45.541] | Ring the bell, watchman, ring! |
| [00:49.837] | Yes, yes the good news is now on the wing; |
| [00:53.603] | Yes, yes they come, and with tidings to tell; |
| [00:57.381] | Glorious and blessed tidings, ring, ring the bell! |
| [01:01.336] | Here from the hilltop the first signal gun |
| [01:05.082] | Thunders the word that some great deed is done. |
| [01:08.777] | Here through the valleys the long echoes swell, |
| [01:12.555] | Ever and anon repeating, ring, ring the bell! |
| [01:15.885] | Ring the bell, watchman, ring! |
| [01:20.262] | Yes, yes the good news is now on the wing; |
| [01:23.938] | Yes, yes they come, and with tidings to tell; |
| [01:27.803] | Glorious and blessed tidings, ring, ring the bell! |
| [01:31.675] | Bonfires are blazing and rockets ascend, |
| [01:35.446] | No meagre triumph this tale portends. |
| [01:39.132] | Shout, shout my brothers for all, all is well, |
| [01:42.903] | Tis' the universal chorus, ring, ring the bell! |
| [01:46.267] | Ring the bell, watchman, ring! |
| [01:50.660] | Yes, yes the good news is now on the wing; |
| [01:54.346] | Yes, yes they come, and with tidings to tell; |
| [01:58.181] | Glorious and blessed tidings, ring, ring the bell! |
| [02:01.442] | Ring the bell, watchman, ring! |
| [02:05.827] | Yes, yes the good news is now on the wing; |
| [02:09.550] | Yes, yes they come, and with tidings to tell; |
| [02:13.366] | Glorious and blessed tidings, ring, ring the bell! |
| [02:17.236] | Glorious and blessed tidings, ring, ring the bell! |
| [02:21.014] | Glorious and blessed tidings, ring, ring the bell!~ |
