Not the torturer will scare me
纵使酷刑亦不能使我畏惧
Nor the body's final fall
纵使肉身终将陨落
Nor the barrels of death's rifles
纵使死亡枪管森然
Nor the shadows on the wall
纵使墙上阴影幢幢
Nor the night when to the ground
纵使长夜吞噬大地
The last dim star of pain is hurled
最后一颗痛苦星辰陨落
But the blind indifference
唯有这世间冷漠无情
Of a merciless unfeeling world
如盲眼般残酷漠然
Lying in the burnt out shell
躺在阿尔巴尼亚农场的废墟中
Of some albanian farm
焦土残垣间
An old babushka
一位老妇人
Holds a crying baby in her arms
怀抱着啼哭的婴孩
A soldier from the other side
敌方的士兵
A man of heart and pride
心怀怜悯与尊严
Breaks ranks lays down his rifle
放下武器 脱离队伍
To kneel by her side
跪倒在她身旁
He gives her water
他递给她清水
Binds her wounds
包扎她的伤口
And calms the crying child
安抚啼哭的婴孩
A touch gives absolution then
一个触碰便成救赎
Across the great divide
穿越生死鸿沟
He picks his way back through the broken
他蹒跚穿过她破碎人生的
China of her life
满地狼藉
And there at the curb
在残垣断壁的路沿
The samaritan serb turns and waves goodbye
那位塞尔维亚善者转身挥手告别
And each small candle
每一盏微弱的烛光
Lights a corner of the dark
都能照亮黑暗的一隅
Each small candle
每一盏微弱的烛光
Lights a corner of the dark
都能照亮黑暗的一隅
Each small candle lights a corner of the dark
每一盏烛光都在黑暗中点亮角落
When the wheel of pain stops turning
当苦难之轮停止转动
And the branding iron stops burning
当烙铁不再灼烧
When the children can be children
当孩童能无忧无虑
When the desperados weaken
当亡命之徒放下武器
When the tide rolls into greet them
当潮汐温柔相迎
And the natural law of science
自然法则显现
Greets the humble and the mighty
平等对待卑微与强大
And the billion candles burning
亿万烛光闪耀
Lights the dark side of every human mind
照亮每个人心中的黑暗面
Each small candle
每一盏微弱的烛光
Each small candle
每一盏微弱的烛光
Repeated
重复
Each small candles lights the dark side of every human mind
每盏烛火都照亮人性阴暗的角落
And each small candle
每一盏微弱的烛光
Lights a corner of the dark
都在黑暗中点亮一方
