《A Church Is Burning》歌词

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

[00:00:11] //

[00:00:11] A church is burning

[00:00:18] 教堂失火了

[00:00:18] The flames rise higher

[00:00:23] 火焰高高地晃动

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

[00:00:26] 就像祈祷的双手

[00:00:26] 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

[00:00:47] 三个蒙面人穿过后街制造了这场恶行

[00:00:47] Torches in their hands

[00:00:49] 他们手里拿着火把

[00:00:49] While the village lies asleep

[00:00:52] 夜深人静时

[00:00:52] Down to the church where

[00:00:53] 教堂里

[00:00:53] Just hours before

[00:00:56] 几个小时之前

[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

[00:01:05] 唱着 不再做奴隶

[00:01:05] A church is burning

[00:01:12] 教堂失火了

[00:01:12] The flames rise higher

[00:01:16] 火焰高高地晃动

[00:01:16] 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

[00:01:41] 他们消失在夜里

[00:01:41] They vanished in the dark

[00:01:43] 他们消失在黑暗中

[00:01:43] And in the cold light of morning

[00:01:46] 在冰冷的晨光里

[00:01:46] There was nothing that remained

[00:01:48] 什么也没留下

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

[00:01:53] 只有那圣经的灰烬和一罐煤油

[00:01:53] A church is burning

[00:02:00] 教堂失火了

[00:02:00] The flames rise higher

[00:02:04] 火焰高高地晃动

[00:02:04] 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

[00:02:30] 自由是一条昏暗的路

[00:02:30] When you're walking it alone

[00:02:32] 当你独自行走时

[00:02:32] But the future is now

[00:02:34] 未来已经来了

[00:02:34] And it's time to take a stand

[00:02:36] 是时候表态了

[00:02:36] So the lost bells of freedom

[00:02:38] 失去的自由

[00:02:38] Can ring out in my land

[00:02:42] 出现在我的领地

[00:02:42] A church is burning

[00:02:48] 教堂失火了

[00:02:48] 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

[00:03:01] 就像祈祷的双手

[00:03:01] The fire ascends

[00:03:03] 火焰节节攀升

[00:03:03] 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
