歌词
I went to see the preacher
I went to see the preacher
To teach me how to pray
To teach me how to pray
He looked at me and smiled
He looked at me and smiled
Then the preacher turned away
过去我去拜访牧师
He said if you want to tell him something
让他教我如何祈祷
You ain't gotta fold your hands
他亲切地向我微笑
Say it with your heart
然后转过身去
Your soul and believe it
他说如果你想倾诉
And i'd say amen
你不需要双手合十
用心说出来
Bang a drum for the sinners
相信你的灵魂
Bang a drum for the sins
咏“阿门”
Bang a drum for the losers
为了过错者而鸣
And those who win
为了罪恶而鸣
Bang a drum bang it loudly
为了失败者而鸣
Or as soft as you need
还有为了胜利者而鸣
Bang a drum for yourself son
猛烈地敲鸣
And a drum for me
温柔地击打
为了主的儿女而鸣
I called upon my brother just the
还有为我而鸣
Other day, he said: john i'm gonna
过去我探望兄弟
Die if i don't start to live again
第二天他说：乔
I work each day and night like clockwork
如果我不改变现状，我跟死亡没有区别
Just trying to make ends meet
我无日无夜地工作
I could kick this bad world's ass
只是为了与死亡相遇
If i could just get on my feet
我可以踏遍整个世界
只靠我的双腿
I'd bang a drum for the dying
我为了行尸走肉者而鸣
Bang a drum for the truth
为了真理而鸣
Bang a drum for the innocence
为了无辜者而鸣
Lost in our youth
却迷失在青春中
Bang a drum bang it loudly
猛烈地敲鸣
Or as soft as you need
温柔地击打
Bang a drum for you brother
为了兄弟而鸣
And a drum for me
还有为了我而鸣
我不知道江河最终流向哪里
I don't know where all the rivers run
我不知道我是怎么来到世上的，我也不知道我会怎样离开世间
I don't know how far, i don't know how come
但我知道我终将会走向死亡
But i'm gonna die believin'
我走的每一步
Each step that i take
大地没有告诉值得与否
Ain't worth the ground that
我不断前进
I walk on
如果我们
If we don't walk it our
不走属于自己的路
Own way
我不敢自称智人
诗人或圣人
No i don't claim to be a wiseman
我只是一个不断追寻的普通人
A poet or a saint
为了更好的生活
I'm just another man who's searching
但是我心如惊雷
For a better way
因为我相信
But my heart beats loud as thunder
有时我想逃避
For the things that i believe
有时我想尖叫
Sometimes i wanna run for cover
为了明天而鸣
Sometimes i want to scream
为了过去而鸣
为了英雄而鸣
Bang a drum for tomorrow
他们不会复活
Bang a drum for the past
为了承诺而鸣
Bang a drum for the heroes
为了谎言而鸣
That won't come back
为了爱侣而鸣
Bang a drum for the promise
还有为了他们哭喊中的眼泪而鸣
Bang a drum for the lies
猛烈地敲鸣
Bang a drum for the lovers
温柔地击打
And the tears they've cried
只要我的心继续跃动
Bang a drum bang it loudly
相信永不止息
Or as soft as you need
But as long as my heart keeps on bangin'
I got a reason to believe
