《A Church Is Burning》歌词

[00:00:00] A Church Is Burning - Paul Simon (保罗·西蒙)

[00:00:12] //

[00:00:12] A church is burning

[00:00:19] 教堂失火了

[00:00:19] The flames rise higher

[00:00:23] 火焰高高地晃动

[00:00:23] Like hands that are praying

[00:00:27] 就像祈祷的双手

[00:00:27] They grow in the sky

[00:00:30] 火光直冲天际

[00:00:30] Like hands that are praying

[00:00:32] 就像祈祷的双手

[00:00:32] The fire ascends

[00:00:34] 火焰节节攀升

[00:00:34] You can burn down my churches

[00:00:37] 你可以烧毁我的教堂

[00:00:37] But I shall be free

[00:00:43] 但我将自由

[00:00:43] Three hooded men through the back roads did creep

[00:00:48] 三个蒙面人穿过后街制造了这场恶行

[00:00:48] Torches in their hands while the village lies asleep

[00:00:52] 夜深人静时他们手里拿着火把

[00:00:52] Down to the church where just hours before

[00:00:56] 几个小时之前 教堂里

[00:00:56] Voices were singing and

[00:00:58] 还传来颂歌的声音

[00:00:58] Hands were meeting and

[00:01:00] 人们手拉着手

[00:01:00] Saying "I won't be a slave anymore"

[00:01:06] 唱着 不再做奴隶

[00:01:06] A church is burning

[00:01:12] 教堂失火了

[00:01:12] The flames rise higher

[00:01:17] 火焰高高地晃动

[00:01:17] Like hands that are praying

[00:01:20] 就像祈祷的双手

[00:01:20] They glow in the sky

[00:01:23] 火光直冲天际

[00:01:23] Like hands that are praying

[00:01:25] 就像祈祷的双手

[00:01:25] The fire ascends

[00:01:27] 火焰节节攀升

[00:01:27] You can burn down my churches

[00:01:30] 你可以烧毁我的教堂

[00:01:30] But I shall be free

[00:01:36] 但是我将自由

[00:01:36] Three hooded men their hands lit the spark

[00:01:39] 三个蒙面人 点燃火花

[00:01:39] And they faded in the night they vanished in the dark

[00:01:44] 他们消失在漆黑的夜里

[00:01:44] And in the cold light of morning there was nothing that remained

[00:01:48] 在冰冷的晨光里什么也没留下

[00:01:48] But the ashes of a Bible and a can of kerosene

[00:01:54] 只有那圣经的灰烬和一罐煤油

[00:01:54] A church is burning

[00:02:00] 教堂失火了

[00:02:00] The flames rise higher

[00:02:05] 火焰高高地晃动

[00:02:05] Like hands that are praying

[00:02:08] 就像祈祷的双手

[00:02:08] They glow in the sky

[00:02:11] 火光直冲天际

[00:02:11] Like hands that are prayin'

[00:02:13] 就像祈祷的双手

[00:02:13] The fire ascends

[00:02:15] 火焰节节攀升

[00:02:15] You can burn down my churches

[00:02:18] 你可以烧毁我的教堂

[00:02:18] But I shall be free

[00:02:24] 但我将自由

[00:02:24] A church is more than just timber and stone

[00:02:28] 教堂不过是木材和石料

[00:02:28] And freedom is a dark road when you're walking it alone

[00:02:32] 当你独自行走时 自由是一条昏暗的路

[00:02:32] But the future is now and it's time to take a stand

[00:02:36] 未来已经来了 是时候表态了

[00:02:36] So the lost bells of freedom can ring out in my land

[00:02:42] 失去的自由出现在我的领地

[00:02:42] A church is burning

[00:02:49] 教堂失火了

[00:02:49] The flames rise higher

[00:02:53] 火焰高高地晃动

[00:02:53] Like hands that are praying

[00:02:56] 就像祈祷的双手

[00:02:56] They glow in the sky

[00:02:59] 火光直冲天际

[00:02:59] Like hands that are praying

[00:03:02] 就像祈祷的双手

[00:03:02] The fire ascends

[00:03:04] 火焰节节攀升

[00:03:04] You can burn down my churches

[00:03:08] 你可以烧毁我的教堂

[00:03:08] But I shall be free

[00:03:13] 但是我会自由
