歌词
the river is deep and the road is long,
河水流深 路途遥远
daylight comes and I want to go home.
天光已亮 我想回家
awoke this morning
清晨我醒着
to find my people＇s tongues were tied
发现我的人民舌头被系住
and in my dreams
在我的梦中
they were given books to poison their minds.
为了毒害思想 有人递上书本
the river is deep and the mountain high,
河水流深 山岳巍峨
how long before the other side.
还要多远才能到达另一边
we are their mortar,
我们是他们的灰泥
their building bricks and their clay.
他们的砖 他们的土
their gold teeth mirror
他们的镜子 照出嘴里的大金牙
both our joys and our pain.
我们亦喜亦痛
the river is deep and the ocean wide,
河水流深 海洋广阔
who will teach us how to read the signs.
是谁教会我们感知万物讯息
地球是我们的母亲
the earth is our mother
她教会我们拥抱光明
she taught us to embrace the light,
而如今主是万物主宰
now the lord is master
她则遁入永恒黑夜
she suffers an eternal night.
你遮住我的耳
扯走我的眼
you blocked up my ears,
切断我的舌
you plucked out my eyes,
用谎言豢养我
you cut out my tongue,
哦 主
you fed me with lies,
oh lord.
