High Hopes

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun
在我們儿時居住的地方在那地平線之外

在一個充滿吸引力和奇蹟的世界
Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
我們的思想一直迷失沒有邊際
Do they still meet there by the Cut
分離的鐘聲已經響起

沿著那長長的道路順著堤道
There was a ragged band that followed our footsteps
相交之處他們還能相遇嗎
Running before time took our dreams away
我們走過的路像一條襤褸的帶子
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
在時間帶走我們的夢想之前蔓延著
To a life consumed by slow decay
它離開了那些不計其數的想把我們拖向大地的小生靈

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

目光越過身後烈焰中橋樑的灰燼
Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
轉眼看到另一邊的那一片綠
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
我向前邁步但是夢又將我帶回來
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
被一種內心的力量牽引著
Dragged by force of some inner tide
和平地來到一個更高的高度

夢想中令人暈眩的世界的高度
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
慾望和野心永遠阻礙著我們
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
但是有一種飢渴感仍然無法被滿足

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