Goodbye To A River
[00:08.90][00:19.51][00:23.73][01:14.80][02:05.13][02:46.22][02:50.50][02:59.56][04:06.55][04:27.11]
Written：Don Henley/Stan Lynch/Jai Winding/Frank Simes
有人说，今年的雨水来得太早
The rains have come early, they say
我们都将被洪水冲走
We're all gonna wash away
不过那对我来说并没什么关系
Well, that's all right with me
如果天堂的洪流能洗净
If heaven's torrent can wash clean
隐藏在这片废墟里的狂妄
The arrogance that lies unseen
当我们都已离开
In the damage done since we have gone
这本就不属于我们的地方
Where we ought not to be
大河，再见
[01:06.30][01:54.53][01:58.67][03:56.31][04:00.50][04:13.11][04:17.38][04:30.01][04:34.15]Goodbye to a river
大河，再见
[02:02.84][04:04.64][04:21.38]So long
再见了
Lakes and levees, dams and locks
水库与河堤，大坝与船闸
They put that river in a box
他们想把河流困在一个盒子里
It was running wild
人们想要驯服
And men must have control
它那狂野不羁的奔腾
We live our lives in starts and fits
我们过着片段式的生活
We lose our wonder bit by bit
我们一点点失去对世界的惊奇
We condescend and in the end
我们对自然颐指气使，到最后
We lose our very souls
我们失去了自己的魂灵
The dirty water washes down
大河，再见
Poisoning the common ground
大河，再见
Taking sins of farm and town
再见了
And bearing them away
污水冲刷着大地
The captains of industry
侵蚀着人们的土地
And their tools on the hill
冲垮罪恶的农场与城镇
They're killing everything divine
卷带着它们远远离去
What will I tell this child of mine
工业的巨头们
I make a church out of words
和他们建造在山顶的凶器
As the years dull my senses
谋杀了神圣的一切
And I try to hold on to the world that I knew
我将告诉我的孩子们些什么？
I struggle to cross generational fences
我用言语造一座教堂
And the beauty that still remains-
当年月逐渐钝化我的感官
I can touch it through you
我拼命抓住我曾知道的那个世界
Roll on
我克服重重险阻穿过代际的藩篱
