The Water

All that I have is a river
巨流横亘于生命每一角落
The river is always my home
我与河流永同归宿
Lord, take me away
上帝 请指引我
For I just cannot stay
因不可止于行
Or I’ll sink in my skin and my bones
或灭其肤毁于骨
The water sustains me without even trying
水波荡漾 顺势而为
The water can’t drown me, I’m done
不畏洪水猛兽席卷
With my dying
吞噬我的残喘
Please help me build a small boat
请助我构筑一片舟
One that’ll ride on the flow
漂浮在缓流之上
Where the river runs deep
纵身河至深
And the larger fish creep
可见鱼之硕
I’m glad of what keeps me afloat
欣然于使我漂浮之物
The water sustains me without even trying
乘风破浪 顺势而去
The water can’t drown me, I’m done
波涛骇浪无所畏惧
With my dying
了却我的残生
Now deeper the water I sail
起航渐行渐深远
And faster the current I’m in
涌流疾风驰骋
That each night brings the stars
星光降临的每一夜
And the song in my heart
颂歌埋藏我心底
Is a tune for the journeyman’s tale
即是旅人事迹之曲
The water sustains me without even trying
水波荡漾 顺势而为
The water can’t drown me, I’m done
不畏洪水猛兽席卷
With my dying
吞噬我的残喘
Now the land that I knew is a dream
梦想于此刻停船靠岸
And the line on the distance grows faint
遥远的地平线越发模糊
So wide is my river, the horizon a sliver
我的河流如此广阔 地平线泛着银光
The artist has run out of paint
艺术家已然完毕漆画
Where the blue of the sea meets the sky
海之蔚蓝映照着天空
And the big yellow sun leads me home
灿烂阳光照出回家的路
I’m everywhere now, the way is a vow
现今我无所不在 誓言即是道路所 向
To the wind of each breath by and by
沉湎于呼吸氧气的每一刻
The water sustains me without even trying
乘风破浪 顺势而去
The water can’t drown me, I’m done
波涛骇浪无所畏惧
With my dying
了却我的残生
