Epitaph

The old man's sitting there, his head bowed down
老人坐在那里，低着头
Every now and then he'll take a look around
每隔一段时间，他就会四处看一看
And his eyes reflect the memory-pain of years gone by
而他的眼睛里映出的是多年前的记忆伤痕
He can't regain nostalgic dreams he'll never see again
他无法在梦中看到故乡，他再也见不到了
With trembling hands, he wipes a tear
他用颤抖的手，擦了擦眼泪
Many fall like rain, there's one for every year
无数岁月像雨般落下，这只是其中一年
And his life laid out so clearly now, life that's brought death
而他现在的人生轨迹已十分清晰，马上就要面临死亡
So nearly now life once he clung to dearly lets go
他曾经的生活几乎就快被他抛弃了
But spare a thought as you pass him by
但是，当你经过他的时候
Take a closer look and you'll say
别忘了仔细看一下，你就会明白
He's our tomorrow, just as much as we are his yesterday
他是我们的明天，就像我们是他的昨天一样
A lonely grave, and soon forgot
寂寞的坟墓，马上就要被遗忘
Only wind and leaves lament his mournful song
只有风和叶子在咏唱着他的哀歌
Yet they shout his epitaph out clear
然而他们却清晰的喊出来了他的墓志铭
For anyone who's passing near
对于那些在附近经过的人来说
It names the person lying here as you
它把躺在这里的人称为你

And you...and you...and you... 而你……而你……而你
