High Hopes

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
在我們儿時居住的地方在那地平線之外
In a world of magnets and miracles
在一個充滿吸引力和奇蹟的世界
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
我們的思想一直迷失沒有邊際
The ringing of the division bell had begun
分離的鐘聲已經響起

Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
沿著那長長的道路順著堤道
Do they still meet there by the Cut
相交之處他們還能相遇嗎

There was a ragged band that followed our footsteps
我們走過的路像一條襤褸的帶子
Running before time took our dreams away
在時間帶走我們的夢想之前蔓延著
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
它離開了那些不計其數的想把我們拖向大地的小生靈
To a life consumed by slow decay
向著慢慢腐朽的生命延伸

The grass was greener
草地更綠了
The light was brighter
陽光更明亮了
With friends surrounded
朋友在身邊
The nights of wonder
充滿想像的夜間

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
目光越過身後烈焰中橋樑的灰燼
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
轉眼看到另一邊的那一片綠
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
我向前邁步但是夢又將我帶回來
Dragged by force of some inner tide
被一種內心的力量牽引著

At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
和平地來到一個更高的高度
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
夢想中令人暈眩的世界的高度


Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
慾望和野心永遠阻礙著我們
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
但是有一種飢渴感仍然無法被滿足
Though down this road we've been so many times
雖然我們如此多次走過這路...
The grass was greener
草地更綠了
The light was brighter
陽光更明亮了
The taste was sweeter
味道更甜美了
The nights of wonder
充滿想像的夜間
With friends surrounded
朋友在身邊
The dawn mist growing
黎明的薄霧煥發著光亮
The water flowing
流動的水
The endless river
無盡的河流
Forever and ever
永遠不遠...
Forever and ever
永遠不遠...
