Children of the Universe - John Denver (约翰·丹佛)
Written by:John Denver/Joe Henry
A heritage of vision was given to us all
一个传统的场景展现在我们眼前
To smell the rose's fragrance
犹如闻到玫瑰的芬芳
To hear the songbird's call
犹如听到鸟儿在歌唱
To watch the distant moonlight fill the coming of the tides
看到远方的月光淹没在潮起潮落中
To understand that life is more than always choosing sides
好像懂得了生活不仅仅只是选择
And some have seen what can be seen of sailing ships and kings
有人会看到起航的帆船以及统治的君主
And some are given feet of clay and some are given wings
有人脚踏实地 但有人过得飘渺
Some must struggle just to breathe some have a golden spoon
有人必须为了活着挣扎 但有人生来富贵
And some will never leave the nest while some walk on the moon
有人永远不会离家 但有人行走在月亮之上
And don't you know the life that lives within the silent hills
你知道寂静的山川里面的生活吗
Is just as rich and beautiful and just as unfulfilled
那同样丰富 同样美丽 同样充满未知
As man with all his intellect his reason and his choice
人们也同样智慧 同样拥有疑问与抉择
Oh who's to say the nightingale has any less a voice
谁会说夜莺缺乏音调呢
The silver dolphins twist and dance and sing to one another
银色海豚相互缠绕舞蹈 相互歌唱
The cosmic ocean knows no bounds for all that live are brothers
辽阔的宇宙没有界限 所有的生命都亲如兄弟
The whippoorwill the grizzly bear the elephant the whale
北美夜鹰 灰熊 大象 鲸鱼
All children of the universe all weavers of the tale
都是宇宙的孩子 一起编织这个童话
So palomino lie back down and dream yourself to sleep
所以巴洛米诺马 躺下 想象你在睡觉
The hawk flies with the morning dove the lion with the sheep
在清晨 老鹰与鸽子一起飞翔 狮子与绵羊共处
As far away as you may go we'll never be apart
你可以去遥远的地方 但是我们的心永不分离
It's in your dreams that you will know the seasons of the heart
在你的梦境里 你会了解自己的心灵季节
