Peaceable Kingdom

billy gilman - peaceable kingdom
比利吉尔曼 和平的国度

豹子上躺着 纯洁的小孩

没有一只野兽 皱眉相见
a leopard with a harmless kid lay down
狼和羔羊 成为了友好的居民
and not one savage beast was seen to frown
在这里 弱肉强食不曾存在
the wolf did with the lamb can dwell in peace
丰收的谷地上 狮子静默不动
his grim carnivorous nature there did cease
是因为小孩 它们相亲相爱
the lion with the fatling awn did move
很久很久以前 有一个年轻的画家
and a little child was leading them in love
他有一个梦想 每当生物拜访

便会依身相伴
long ago there was a young painter
在一个甜甜的夜晚 他会欣然做画
who had a dream that every creature came
在他死前的一百幅画中
and stood assembled by his side
小狮，小蛇和小孩
and he painted the sight that had sweetened his night
都睁大了眼睛 如太阳般微笑
for the one hundred times before he died
仿佛时间静止
a kid lion and a snake and a child
狼和羔羊
wide-eyed and formal and smiling like the sun had stopped
在他的手上 共进美餐
and time had ceased to move
是因为小孩 它们相亲相爱
and the wolf and the lamb
朋友，你看到所有的线条和间隙了吗
came and ate from his hand
年轻画家所描绘的色彩
and a man-child was leading them in love
闪耀在这和平国度每个人的脸上

在这时代里 人们温柔非常
friend have you seen all the lines and the spaces
在这些天里 我发现我随处漂泊
the colors that the young painter sees
在无尽的迷宫中徘徊不前
in the peaceable kingdom that shines in the faces
这世界是如此的疯狂
of people from more gentle times than these
只能移开视线了罢

从今以后 不管前进或者后退
i find myself adrift these days
不管愚人的憧憬或打击
and endless maze of ends and ways
哦，我的朋友，你看到所有的线条和间隙了吗
and worlds seem so crazy to be here
年轻画家描绘的色彩
but look away look away
闪耀在这和平国度每个人的脸上
back or forward from today
在这时代里 人们温柔非常
to the visions of either fools or sears
这样一个美妙的地方

充满了欢笑 充满了恩典
oh my friend have you seen all the lines and the spaces
这里沐浴着圣洁而又怯弱的谎言
the colors that the young painter sees
我们应该学会知道 这是不可能如此的
in the peaceable kingdom that shines in the faces
我们只能相信 它可能曾经存在
of people from more gentle times than these
哦，我的朋友，你看到所有的线条和间隙了吗

年轻画家所描绘的色彩
such a beautiful place
闪耀在这和平国度每个人的脸上
full of joy full of grace
在这时代里 人们温柔非常
it was bathed in our saintly yellow lie
朋友，你看到所有的线条和间隙了吗
to what learning to know that such things can't be so
年轻画家所描绘的色彩
he could only believe that they might
闪耀在这和平国度每个人的脸上
oh my friend have you seen all the lines and the spaces
在这时代里 人们温柔非常
the colors that the young painter sees
...
in the peaceable kingdom that shines in the faces
of people from more gentle times than these

friend have you seen all the lines and the spaces
the colors that the young painter sees
in the peaceable kingdom that shines in the faces
of people from more gentle times than these
