歌词
They say there's an underground river,
它们说这里有条地下河
That none of us can see,
我们都看不到
And it flows through winding tunnels,
它穿过蜿蜒的隧道
On its way to a tide-less sea.
到达平静的海洋
And across that sea is an island,
穿过海洋是一个岛屿
A paradise we are told,
一个传闻中的天堂
Where the toils of life are forgotten,
那里没有生活的劳累
And they call it the Island of Souls.
它们称之为灵魂之岛
For only a soul can go there,
只有一个灵魂能到达那里
A soul that's been set free,
一个得到解脱的灵魂
From the confines of a working life,
离开忙碌的工作生活
To find eternity.
寻找永恒
Your old man had a cage for his pigeons,
你的老男人有一只鸽笼
But that's really where he kept his soul,
但那是他禁锢自己灵魂的地方
And when he watched them fly he would see himself,
当他放飞它们时他会找到自己的灵魂
Least that's how it was told.
至少传闻中是这样的
But his soul was still trapped in the cage son,
但当鸟儿飞向天空
While the birds they soared to the sky,
他的灵魂仍被禁锢在牢笼中
But he couldn't find his own way out,
但他找不到出去的路
Least not 'til the day he died.
直到他死去的那天
Oh, a man builds a cage with the tools he is given,
他用得到的工具打造了自己的囚笼
His casket is sealed with a riveter's gun,
他的棺材被铆工密封
This solitary madness is where he is driven,
孤独的疯狂使他灭亡
It was him who was trapped in the soul cage son,
使他困在灵魂的囚笼中
It was him that was trapped in the soul cage.
他被困在灵魂的囚笼中
I know that he loved you, but he hadn't the words,
我知道他爱你,但他不知道如何表达
He'd be easier speaking the language of birds,
他只能通过鸟的语言来表达
For to speak of emotion, it just wasn't done,
但它无法表达出他对你的爱意
It was him who was trapped in the soul cage son,
使他困在灵魂的囚笼中
It was him that was trapped in the soul cage.
他被困在灵魂的囚笼中
A man builds a cage with the tools he is given,
他用得到的工具打造了自己的囚笼
His casket is sealed with a riveter's gun,
他的棺材被铆工密封
The solitary madness is where he is driven,
孤独的疯狂使他灭亡
It was him who was trapped in the soul cage son,
使他困在灵魂的囚笼中
It was him that was trapped in the soul cage.
他被困在灵魂的囚笼中
