A Church Is Burning - Paul Simon (保罗·西蒙)[00:00:00]
//[00:00:11]
A church is burning[00:00:11]
教堂失火了[00:00:18]
The flames rise higher[00:00:18]
火焰高高地晃动[00:00:23]
Like hands that are praying[00:00:23]
就像祈祷的双手[00:00:26]
They grow in the sky[00:00:26]
火光直冲天际[00:00:30]
Like hands that are praying[00:00:30]
就像祈祷的双手[00:00:32]
The fire ascends[00:00:32]
火焰节节攀升[00:00:34]
You can burn down my churches[00:00:34]
你可以烧毁我的教堂[00:00:37]
But I shall be free[00:00:37]
但我将自由[00:00:43]
Three hooded men through the back roads did creep[00:00:43]
三个蒙面人穿过后街制造了这场恶行[00:00:47]
Torches in their hands[00:00:47]
他们手里拿着火把[00:00:49]
While the village lies asleep[00:00:49]
夜深人静时[00:00:52]
Down to the church where[00:00:52]
教堂里[00:00:53]
Just hours before[00:00:53]
几个小时之前[00:00:56]
Voices were singing and[00:00:56]
还传来颂歌的声音[00:00:58]
Hands were meeting and[00:00:58]
人们手拉着手[00:01:00]
Saying I won't be a slave anymore[00:01:00]
唱着 不再做奴隶[00:01:05]
A church is burning[00:01:05]
教堂失火了[00:01:12]
The flames rise higher[00:01:12]
火焰高高地晃动[00:01:16]
Like hands that are praying[00:01:16]
就像祈祷的双手[00:01:20]
They glow in the sky[00:01:20]
火光直冲天际[00:01:23]
Like hands that are praying[00:01:23]
就像祈祷的双手[00:01:25]
The fire ascends[00:01:25]
火焰节节攀升[00:01:27]
You can burn down my churches[00:01:27]
你可以烧毁我的教堂[00:01:30]
But I shall be free[00:01:30]
但是我将自由[00:01:36]
Three hooded men their hands lit the spark[00:01:36]
三个蒙面人 点燃火花[00:01:39]
And they faded in the night[00:01:39]
他们消失在夜里[00:01:41]
They vanished in the dark[00:01:41]
他们消失在黑暗中[00:01:43]
And in the cold light of morning[00:01:43]
在冰冷的晨光里[00:01:46]
There was nothing that remained[00:01:46]
什么也没留下[00:01:48]
But the ashes of a bible and a can of kerosene[00:01:48]
只有那圣经的灰烬和一罐煤油[00:01:53]
A church is burning[00:01:53]
教堂失火了[00:02:00]
The flames rise higher[00:02:00]
火焰高高地晃动[00:02:04]
Like hands that are praying[00:02:04]
就像祈祷的双手[00:02:08]
They glow in the sky[00:02:08]
火光直冲天际[00:02:11]
Like hands that are prayin'[00:02:11]
就像祈祷的双手[00:02:13]
The fire ascends[00:02:13]
火焰节节攀升[00:02:15]
You can burn down my churches[00:02:15]
你可以烧毁我的教堂[00:02:18]
But I shall be free[00:02:18]
但我将自由[00:02:24]
A church is more than just timber and stone[00:02:24]
教堂不过是木材和石料[00:02:28]
And freedom is a dark road[00:02:28]
自由是一条昏暗的路[00:02:30]
When you're walking it alone[00:02:30]
当你独自行走时[00:02:32]
But the future is now[00:02:32]
未来已经来了 [00:02:34]
And it's time to take a stand[00:02:34]
是时候表态了[00:02:36]
So the lost bells of freedom[00:02:36]
失去的自由[00:02:38]
Can ring out in my land[00:02:38]
出现在我的领地[00:02:42]
A church is burning[00:02:42]
教堂失火了[00:02:48]
The flames rise higher[00:02:48]
火焰高高地晃动[00:02:53]
Like hands that are praying[00:02:53]
就像祈祷的双手[00:02:56]
They glow in the sky[00:02:56]
火光直冲天际[00:02:59]
Like hands that are praying[00:02:59]
就像祈祷的双手[00:03:01]
The fire ascends[00:03:01]
火焰节节攀升[00:03:03]
You can burn down my churches[00:03:03]
你可以烧毁我的教堂[00:03:08]
But I shall be free[00:03:08]
但是我会自由[00:03:13]
