[00:00:00] The Greatest Show On Earth - Nightwish (夜愿)

[00:00:01] //

[00:00:01] Written by：Tuomas Holopainen/Marco Hietala

[00:03:43] //

[00:03:43] Archaean horizon

[00:03:54] 太古时代的地平线

[00:03:54] The first sunrise

[00:04:05] 最初的黎明

[00:04:05] On a pristine gaea

[00:04:17] 照射着原始的大地女神

[00:04:17] Opus perfectum

[00:04:23] 神工鬼斧

[00:04:23] Somewhere there us sleeping

[00:05:21] 我们仍在某个地方沉睡

[00:05:21] After sleeping through a hundred

[00:05:23] 经历了上百亿年的沉睡

[00:05:23] Million centuries we have

[00:05:25] 我们最终在这颗绚丽的行星上苏醒过来

[00:05:25] Finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet

[00:05:28] 被赋予色彩的闪耀

[00:05:28] Sparkling with color bountiful with life

[00:05:32] 和生命的富饶

[00:05:32] Within decades we must close our eyes again

[00:05:36] 然而在数十年之内 我们终将再度闭上双眼

[00:05:36] Isn't it a noble and enlightened

[00:05:37] 在太阳下 将我们短暂的一生投入到探索宇宙万物

[00:05:37] Way of spending our brief time

[00:05:39] 追问存在之意义

[00:05:39] In the sun to work at understanding

[00:05:43] 难道这不是

[00:05:43] The universe and how we have come to wake up in it

[00:06:29] 高雅而开明的生活方式吗

[00:06:29] The cosmic law of gravity

[00:06:32] 宇宙间的万有引力定律

[00:06:32] Pulled the newborns around a fire

[00:06:36] 在燃烧中创造新生

[00:06:36] A careless cold infinity in every vast direction

[00:06:43] 每一个无限延伸的方向 无情而冰冷

[00:06:43] Lonely farer in the goldilocks zone

[00:06:46] 宜居带内 旅者孤独前行

[00:06:46] She has a tale to tell

[00:06:50] 她要讲述一段传奇

[00:06:50] From the stellar nursery into a carbon feast

[00:06:56] 从孕育恒星的摇篮 到碳基物质的宴席

[00:06:56] Enter luca

[00:06:57] 生命始祖诞生

[00:06:57] The tapestry of chemistry

[00:07:04] 化学反应编织出生命

[00:07:04] There's a writing in the garden

[00:07:10] 花园里书写的字句

[00:07:10] Leading us to the mother of all

[00:07:15] 引导我们寻根溯源

[00:07:15] We are one

[00:07:18] 我们是一体的

[00:07:18] We are a universe

[00:07:22] 我们是整个宇宙

[00:07:22] Forebears of what will be

[00:07:25] 孕育着未来

[00:07:25] Scions of the devonian sea

[00:07:29] 泥盆纪汪洋中的后代

[00:07:29] Aeons pass

[00:07:32] 世代变迁

[00:07:32] Writing the tale of us all

[00:07:36] 遗留下我们的传奇

[00:07:36] A day to day new opening

[00:07:39] 日复一日开启新的篇章

[00:07:39] For the greatest show on earth

[00:07:43] 致以地球上最伟大的剧场

[00:07:43] Ion channels welcoming the outside world

[00:07:47] 离子通道迎接着外部世界

[00:07:47] To the stuff of stars

[00:07:50] 通向恒星的构成物

[00:07:50] Bedding the tree of a biological holy

[00:07:54] 种下神圣的生命之树

[00:07:54] Enter life

[00:07:57] 生命由此生长

[00:07:57] The tapestry of chemistry

[00:08:04] 化学反应编织出生命

[00:08:04] There's a writing in the garden

[00:08:10] 花园里书写的字句

[00:08:10] Leading us to the mother of all

[00:08:15] 引导我们寻根溯源

[00:08:15] We are one

[00:08:18] 我们是一体的

[00:08:18] We are a universe

[00:08:22] 我们是整个宇宙

[00:08:22] Forebears of what will be

[00:08:25] 孕育着未来

[00:08:25] Scions of the devonian sea

[00:08:29] 泥盆纪汪洋中的后代

[00:08:29] Aeons pass

[00:08:32] 世代变迁

[00:08:32] Writing the tale of us all

[00:08:36] 遗留下我们的传奇

[00:08:36] A day to day new opening

[00:08:39] 日复一日开启新的篇章

[00:08:39] For the greatest show on earth

[00:09:12] 致以地球上最伟大的剧场

[00:09:12] We are here to care for the garden

[00:09:18] 我们到这来 悉心守护花园

[00:09:18] The wonder of birth

[00:09:21] 这一创生的奇迹

[00:09:21] Of every form most beautiful

[00:09:40] 世间美丽之最

[00:09:40] We are one

[00:09:43] 我们是一体的

[00:09:43] We are a universe

[00:09:47] 我们是整个宇宙

[00:09:47] Forebears of what will be

[00:09:50] 孕育着未来

[00:09:50] Scions of the devonian sea

[00:09:54] 泥盆纪汪洋中的后代

[00:09:54] Aeons pass writing the tale of us all

[00:10:01] A day to day new opening

[00:10:04] For the greatest show on earth

[00:12:19] After a billion years

[00:12:20] The show is still here

[00:12:22] Not a single one of your fathers died young

[00:12:25] The handy travelers

[00:12:27] Out of Africa

[00:12:28] Little Lucy of the afar

[00:12:30] Gave birth to fantasy

[00:12:33] To idolatry

[00:12:34] To self destructive weaponry

[00:12:38] Enter the god of gaps

[00:12:39] Deep within the past

[00:12:41] Atavistic dread of the hunted

[00:12:56] Enter ionia the cradle of thought

[00:12:59] The architecture of understanding

[00:13:03] The human lust to feel so exceptional

[00:13:06] To rule the earth

[00:13:09] Hunger for shiny rocks

[00:13:10] For giant mushroom clouds

[00:13:12] The will to do just as you'd be done by

[00:13:15] Enter history the grand finale

[00:13:18] Enter ratkind

[00:13:21] Man he took his time in the sun

[00:13:25] Had a dream to understand

[00:13:28] A single grain of sand

[00:13:34] He gave birth to poetry

[00:13:38] But one day'll cease to be

[00:13:41] Greet the last light of the library

[00:14:48] Man he took his time in the sun

[00:14:52] Had a dream to understand

[00:14:56] A single grain of sand

[00:15:01] He gave birth to poetry

[00:15:05] But one day'll cease to be

[00:15:08] Greet the last light of the library

[00:15:13] Man he took his time in the sun

[00:15:17] Had a dream to understand

[00:15:21] A single grain of sand

[00:15:26] He gave birth to poetry

[00:15:30] But one day'll cease to be

[00:15:33] Greet the last light of the library

[00:15:43] We were here

[00:15:55] We were here

[00:16:08] We were here

[00:16:20] We were here

[00:18:10] We are going to die and that makes us

[00:18:13] The lucky ones most people are never

[00:18:18] Going to die because they are never

[00:18:20] Going to be born the potential people

[00:18:24] Who could have been here in my place

[00:18:26] But who will in fact never see

[00:18:28] The light of day outnumber the sand

[00:18:30] Grains of sahara certainly those

[00:18:35] Unborn ghosts include greater poets

[00:18:37] Than Keats scientists greater than Newton

[00:18:42] We know this because the set of possible

[00:18:44] People allowed by our DNA so massively

[00:18:48] Exceeds the set of actual people

[00:18:52] In the teeth of those stupefying

[00:18:54] Odds it is you and I in our ordinariness

[00:18:58] That are here we privileged few

[00:19:03] Who won the lottery of birth against all odds

[00:19:07] How dare we whine at our

[00:19:08] Inevitable return to that prior

[00:19:11] State from which the vast majority have never stirred

[00:21:32] There is grandeur in this view of life

[00:21:35] With its several powers

[00:21:36] Having been originally breathed

[00:21:38] Into a few forms or into one

[00:21:40] And that whilst this planet

[00:21:42] Has gone cycling on according

[00:21:44] To the fixed law of gravity

[00:21:46] From so simple a beginning

[00:21:48] Endless forms most beautiful

[00:21:50] And most wonderful have been

[00:21:53] And are being evolved

[00:21:58] 永不止息
