High Hopes

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
在我们儿时居住的地方 在那地平线之外
In a world of magnets and miracles
在一个充满吸引力和奇迹的世界
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
我们的思想一直迷失 没有边际
The ringing of the division bell had begun
分离的钟声已经响起

Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
沿着那长长的道路 顺着堤道
Do they still meet there by the Cut
相交之处他们还能相遇吗

There was a ragged band that followed our footsteps
我们走过的路 像一条褴褛的带子
Running before time took our dreams away
在时间带走我们的梦想之前 蔓延着
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
它离开了那些不计其数的想把我们拖向大地的小生灵
To a life consumed by slow decay
向着慢慢腐朽的生命延伸

The grass was greener
草地更绿了
The light was brighter
阳光更明亮了
With friends surrounded
朋友在身边
The nights of wonder
充满想象的夜间

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
目光越过身后烈焰中桥梁的灰烬
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
转眼看到另一边的那一片绿
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
我向前迈步 但是梦又将我带回来
Dragged by force of some inner tide
被一种内心的力量牵引着

At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
和平地来到一个更高的高度
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
梦想中令人晕眩的世界的高度


Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
欲望和野心永远阻碍着我们
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
但是有一种饥渴感仍然无法被满足
Though down this road we've been so many times
虽然我们如此多次走过这路...
The grass was greener
草地更绿了
The light was brighter
阳光更明亮了
The taste was sweeter
味道更甜美了
The nights of wonder
充满想象的夜间
With friends surrounded
朋友在身边
The dawn mist growing
黎明的薄雾焕发着光亮
The water flowing
流动的水
The endless river
无尽的河流
Forever and ever
永远不远...
Forever and ever
永远不远...
