或一个避风港
She came from Providence
在拥挤熙攘的酒吧当中
The one in Rhode Island
享受轻松悠闲的时光
Where the old world shadows hang
来不及向你吐露一切
Heavy in the air
那里的情况如何
She packed her hopes and dreams
人们将那里称之为天堂
Like a refugee
我不明白为什么
Just as her father came across the sea
有人躲藏在深山中
She heard about a place people were smiling
在小镇热闹非凡之时
They spoke about the red man's way
随后吹来冰冷刺骨的寒风
How they loved the land
穿过沙漠
They came from everywhere
掠过海岸峡谷
To the Great Divide
来到了马里布
Seeking a place to stand
这个美丽的人们载歌载舞的地方
Or a place to hide
渴求着得到权利
Down in the crowded bars
以照亮他们前进的道路
Out for a good time
给予他们任务
Can't wait to tell you all
一些富豪来到并霸占此地
What it's like up there
没有人去阻止他们
They called it paradise
仅仅拿着丑陋的盒子
I don't know why
向耶稣祈祷
Somebody laid the mountains low
他们将那里称之为天堂
While the town got high
事实上那里的确是个天堂
Then the chilly winds blew down
他们望着挂在天空中朦胧的太阳沉入海中
Across the desert
你可以将这件事抛之脑后
Through the canyons of the coast
坐船去到Lahaina
To the Malibu
像许多年前那些传教士一般
Where the pretty people play
他们以
Hungry for power
耶稣降临的名义
To light their neon way
减轻白人们的重担
And give them things to do
带给白人们无限的权利
Some rich men came and raped the land
谁将提出这伟大的设计
Nobody caught them
哪部分是你的，哪部分又是我的呢
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes
这里没有新的边界线
And Jesus people bought them
我们只得自己开辟
They called it paradise
满足我们无尽的需要
The place to be
和证明我们杀戮的行为
They watched the hazy sun sinking in the sea
本着命运的名义
You can leave it all behind
和上帝的名义
Sail to Lahaina
你还可以在那里看到他们
Just like the missionaries did so many years ago
在星期日的早晨
They even brought a neon sign
他们笔直地站立着并且唱着
Jesus is coming
关于他们眼前的一切的歌
Brought the white man's burden down
他们将那里称之天堂
Brought the white man's reign
我确实无法理解为何要将那里称为天堂
Who will provide the grand design
如今向被你称之天堂的地方
What is yours and what is mine
吻别吧
There is no more new frontier
We have got to make it here
We satisfy our endless needs
And justify our bloody deeds
In the name of destiny
And in the name of God
And you can see them there
On Sunday morning
Stand up and sing about
What it's like up there
They call it paradise
I don't know why
You call someplace paradise
Kiss it goodbye
