Feeding Off The Love Of The Land - Lloyd Brown/Omar
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Written by:Stevie Wonder
Seems the wisdom of man hasn't got much wiser
人类智慧似乎从未真正进步
Than the very beginning of our time
与远古之初并无二致
Agree or war has been our way of compromising
妥协之道仍是战争或屈从
Let live and love has become our biggest lie
让爱与生存沦为最大谎言
Seems to me that fools are even more foolish
愚昧者愈发愚不可及
Thinking of themselves and nobody else
只顾私利 罔顾他人
But then if asked for poor will riches be replenished
若问何时填补贫者沟壑
They say boot straps must be pulled up by themselves
他们便说"该自食其力"
Feeding off the love of the land
贪婪吮吸着大地的馈赠
Leaving much to be desired
却留下满目疮痍
Living off the love of the Lord
假借上帝之爱苟活
While the price for life is higher
生命的代价愈发沉重
Isn't love to be admired
难道爱不值得被珍视
Has the good in man expired
人性光辉是否已然熄灭
Stealing all the love and the beauty from the land
肆意掠夺土地的爱与美好
I awake each morning to the birds a singing
每个清晨我在鸟鸣中醒来
Singing out to God to come and save his own
鸟儿向神歌唱 祈求拯救祂的子民
But when throughout the world the cry of love is ringing
当爱的呼声回荡在世间每个角落
Is then when He'll stop to hear our song
神是否会驻足聆听我们的歌谣
Did you know that when you feel the earth a shaken
你可知道大地震颤之时
It's only mother nature with a crying heart
那是大地母亲心碎的哭泣
You see we have taken from her for so many ages
我们掠夺她的血肉已历经千年
Will there be a time when taking stops and giving starts
何时才能停止索取 开始给予
Yes we're feeding off the love of the land
我们贪婪吮吸着大地的馈赠
Never hearing what He's saying
却从未聆听祂的箴言
Living off the love of the Lord
假借上帝之爱苟活
Never feeling what you're praying
却从未真正感受祷词的温度
Never praising Him for beauty
不曾为世间美好献上赞歌
Only praying God please give me
只会祈求上帝赐予更多
Stealing all the love and the beauty from the land
肆意掠夺土地的爱与美好
Stealing all the love and the beauty from His land
疯狂窃取祂所创造的爱与美好
