《Before the Deluge》歌词

[00:00:00] Before the Deluge - Jackson Browne

[00:00:43]

[00:00:43] Some of them were dreamers

[00:00:48] 有些人是梦想家

[00:00:48] And some of them were fools

[00:00:51] 有些人是傻瓜

[00:00:51] Who were making plans

[00:00:54] 谁在未雨绸缪

[00:00:54] And thinking of the future

[00:01:01] 畅想未来

[00:01:01] With the energy of the innocent

[00:01:05] 带着纯真的活力

[00:01:05] They were gathering the tools

[00:01:09] 他们重整旗鼓

[00:01:09] They would need to make their journey

[00:01:14] 他们需要使他们的旅程

[00:01:14] Back to nature

[00:01:19] 重返自然

[00:01:19] While the sand slipped through the opening

[00:01:23] 当时间如沙子般从沙漏中悄悄流下

[00:01:23] And their hands reached for the golden ring

[00:01:28] 他们回忆起往昔欢乐的岁月

[00:01:28] With their hearts they turned

[00:01:30] 他们患难与共

[00:01:30] To each other's heart for refuge

[00:01:37] 他们相依为命

[00:01:37] In the troubled years

[00:01:39] 在艰难困苦的那些年

[00:01:39] That came before the deluge

[00:01:47] 当洪水泛滥

[00:01:47] Some of them knew pleasure

[00:01:51] 有些人寻欢作乐

[00:01:51] And some of them knew pain

[00:01:55] 有些人颠沛流离

[00:01:55] And for some of them

[00:01:57] 而有些人

[00:01:57] It was only the moment that mattered

[00:02:04] 把它当做化茧成蝶的重要时刻

[00:02:04] And on the brave and crazy wings of youth

[00:02:09] 带着青春勇敢而疯狂的翅膀

[00:02:09] They went flying around in the rain

[00:02:13] 在风雨中振翅高飞

[00:02:13] And their feathers

[00:02:15] 他们那曾经

[00:02:15] Once so fine

[00:02:17] 光彩夺目的羽毛

[00:02:17] Grew torn and tattered

[00:02:22] 变得破败不堪

[00:02:22] And in the end

[00:02:24] 最终

[00:02:24] They traded their tired wings

[00:02:27] 他们用那疲惫的翅膀

[00:02:27] For the resignation that living brings

[00:02:32] 来抵抗生活带来的挫折

[00:02:32] And exchanged love's bright and fragile glow

[00:02:36] 这些困难 让爱更加灿烂

[00:02:36] For the glitter and the rouge

[00:02:41] 让我们更加坚强

[00:02:41] And in the moment

[00:02:42] 刹那之间

[00:02:42] They were swept before the deluge

[00:02:48] 洪水将至 人们流离失所

[00:02:48] Now let the music keep our spirits high

[00:02:57] 现在让音乐激励我们的灵魂

[00:02:57] And let the buildings keep our children dry

[00:03:04] 让那些高楼大厦给我们的孩子带来温暖

[00:03:04] Let creation reveal it's secrets by and by

[00:03:11] 尽快展现人们神奇的创造力

[00:03:11] By and by--

[00:03:16] 尽快吧

[00:03:16] When the light

[00:03:18] 当希望

[00:03:18] That's lost within us reaches the sky

[00:03:26] 在我们心中失落的天空 快要消失不见

[00:03:26] Some of them were angry

[00:03:30] 有些人愤怒

[00:03:30] At the way the earth was abused

[00:03:34] 地球资源被滥用

[00:03:34] By the men who learned

[00:03:36] How to forge her beauty into power

[00:03:43] 努力将她的美丽重塑成力量

[00:03:43] And they struggled to protect her from them

[00:03:48] 他们努力保护她不受伤害

[00:03:48] Only to be confused

[00:03:52] 结果仍不尽如人意

[00:03:52] By the magnitude

[00:03:54] 到那个时候

[00:03:54] Of her fury in the final hour

[00:04:01] 在她的暴怒中 地球终将毁灭

[00:04:01] And when the sand was gone

[00:04:03] 当沙子已经流尽

[00:04:03] And the time arrived

[00:04:06] 最后的时刻来临

[00:04:06] In the naked dawn only a few survived

[00:04:11] 在这清冷的黎明 仅有少数人幸存

[00:04:11] And in attempts to understand

[00:04:13] 试着去理解

[00:04:13] A thing so simple and so huge

[00:04:19] 一件如此简单又重要的事情

[00:04:19] Believed that they were meant to live

[00:04:24] 坚信 他们被赋予生存的权利
