《为啊伐木累》是一首广为传唱的中文歌曲，歌词表达了农民伐木为生的艰辛和不易。那么，如果要将它翻译成英文，应该怎么写呢？

首先，需要了解歌曲的基本情境和意思。歌曲讲述了伐木工人的生活，他们每天劳作艰苦，但仍然无法获得足够的收入。因此，我们可以选择一种比较贴近原意的翻译方式，即直接将歌词翻译成英文，尽量保持原汁原味的感觉。

以下是一种可能的翻译版本：

Verse 1:

我们常常走过那片森林

We often pass through that forest

看那些伐木的人

And see those loggers

他们辛苦了一整天

They work hard the whole day through

收入还不够温饱

But their income is not enough to make ends meet

Chorus:

为啊伐木累

Working hard to log the trees

为啊伐木累

Working hard to log the trees

日子过得苦

Life is tough

钱包却是空的

But the wallet is still empty

Verse 2:

他们的汗水洒满了山林

Their sweat covers the mountains and forests

他们的脚印留在了泥土上

Their footprints are left on the soil

他们的家人在等待着他们的归来

Their families are waiting for their return

但他们不知道何时才能回家

But they don't know when they can go home

Chorus:

为啊伐木累

Working hard to log the trees

为啊伐木累

Working hard to log the trees

日子过得苦

Life is tough

钱包却是空的

But the wallet is still empty

Bridge:

他们为了生计

They work for a living

在这片广袤的山林中

In this vast mountain forest

他们用尽全力

They do their best

却无法改变现实

But they can't change reality

Chorus:

为啊伐木累

Working hard to log the trees

为啊伐木累

Working hard to log the trees

日子过得苦

Life is tough

钱包却是空的

But the wallet is still empty

这只是一种可能的翻译方法，当然也可以根据自己的理解和表达方式进行调整和改动。不过无论如何，翻译歌曲需要对原文有深入的理解和感受，才能将其中的情感和意义传递给另一个文化背景的读者。
