Lenten Thoughts Lyrics – Sir John Betjeman
Singer: Sir John Betjeman
Title: Lenten Thoughts
Isn’t she lovely, “the Mistress”?
With her wide-apart grey-green eyes
The droop of her lips and, when she smiles
Her glance of amused surprise?
How nonchalantly she wears her clothes
How expensive they are as well!
And the sound of her voice is as soft and deep
As the Christ Church tenor bell
But why do I call her “the Mistress”
Who know not her way of life?
Because she has more of a cared-for air
Than many a legal wife
How elegantly she swings along
In the vapoury incense veil;
The angel choir must pause in song
When she kneels at the altar rail
The parson said that we shouldn’t stare
Around when we come to church
Or the Unknown God we are seeking
May forever elude our search
But I hope that the preacher will not think
It unorthodox and odd
If I add that I glimpse in “the Mistress”
A hint of the Unknown God

Lenten Thoughts – Terjemahan / Translation
Bukankah dia cantik, “Nyonya”?
Dengan matanya yang berwarna abu-abu lebar
Terkulai bibirnya dan, saat dia tersenyum
Pandangannya yang terhibur?
Betapa acuhnya dia mengenakan pakaiannya
Betapa mahalnya mereka juga!
Dan suara suaranya lembut dan dalam
Sebagai bel Gereja Kristus Bell
Tapi kenapa aku memanggilnya “nyonya”
Siapa yang tidak tahu cara hidupnya?
Karena dia memiliki lebih banyak udara yang dirawat
Dari banyak istri yang sah
Betapa elegannya dia berayun
Di jilbab dupa uap;
Paduan Suara Malaikat harus berhenti dalam lagu
Saat dia berlutut di rel altar
Parson mengatakan bahwa kita tidak harus menatap
Sekitar saat kita datang ke gereja
Atau Tuhan yang tidak dikenal yang kita cari
Semoga selamanya menghindari pencarian kami
Tapi saya berharap pengkhotbah tidak akan berpikir
Itu tidak ortodoks dan aneh
Jika saya menambahkan bahwa saya melihat “The Mistress”
Sedikit dari Tuhan yang tidak dikenal
