Glitter of waves
波光粼粼的海浪
And glitter of sunlight
与阳光的璀璨辉映
Bid us rejoice
邀我们欢欣鼓舞
And lift our hearts on high
让心灵向高处翱翔
Man alone
唯有人类
Has a soul to save
拥有需救赎的灵魂
And goes to church
每逢礼拜日
To worship on a Sunday
便前往教堂虔诚敬拜
Shall we not go to church this Sunday
这个周日我们不去教堂可好
But do our knitting by the sea
就在海边编织时光
I'll do the work you talk
我劳作 你絮语
Now that the daylight fills the sky
此刻晨光盈满天际
Nothing to tell me
无需言语相告
Nothing to say
不必多言
We lift our hearts to God on high
我们向至高神祇虔诚仰望
Then shall I tell you what your life was like
让我为你细说往昔模样
See if I'm right
看我是否说对了
That he in all we do or say
他存在于我们的一言一行中
I think you liked your workhouse with its grave empty look
我想你喜欢那座空荡荡的济贫院
Would keep us free from harm to-day
它今日仍护佑我们免受伤害
Perhaps you weren't
或许你并非
So unhappy in your loneliness
在孤独中那般不快乐
May he restrain our tongues from strife
愿他止息我们唇舌之争
When first I started teaching
当我初执教鞭之时
And shield from anger's din our life
让我们的生命远离愤怒喧嚣
The life at school to me seemed bleak and empty
校园生活曾让我感到苍白空虚
And guard with watchful care our eyes
用温柔守护我们的双眼
But soon I found a way of knowing children
但很快我找到了理解孩子的方式
From earth's absorbing vanities
远离尘世浮华虚妄
Found the woes of little people
发现小人物的苦难
Hurt more but are more simple
更痛楚却更纯粹
So we when this day's work is done
当今日工作落幕时我们亦如此
John you may have heard the story
约翰 你或许听过那个传说
Of the prentice Peter had before
关于彼得门徒的古老训诫
And shades of night return once more
当暮色再次笼罩大地
But when you came I said
但你的到来让我轻声说
Now this is where we make a new start
此刻正是我们重生的契机
Amen
阿门
Every day I pray it may be so
我日日祈祷愿此成真
Wherefore I pray and beseech you
因此我虔诚向您祈求
As many as are here present to accompany me with
在场众人皆以纯净心灵
A pure heart and humble voice saying after me Almighty
谦卑之声随我颂祷 全能的父
Almighty and most merciful Father
全能至慈的天父啊
We have erred and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep
我们如迷途羔羊偏离祢的指引
There's a tear in your coat
你外套上有道裂痕
Was that done before you came
是来时便存在的吗
Badly torn
残破不堪
That was done recently
那分明是新近的伤痕
Take your hand away
请松开你的手
Your neck is it

As it was in the beginning is now
从太初到如今
Child you're not too young to know

Where roots of sorrow are
