歌词与中文翻译
It was a calm and cloudless night but it was all still a blur
平静晴朗的夜空，其实天地还是一片浑沌
A shaking of our Universe was just about to occur
一场震撼宇宙的好戏即将上演
It was Summertime... 1609
就是那个夏天，1609年
when Galileo used his telescope for the very first time
当伽利略第一次架起他的望远镜
and he saw mountains and craters on the moon
他竟看到了月球上的沟壑与山峦
and a Milky Way with thousands of stars
和群星聚集的银河系
and he saw Jupiter, with four tiny moons
他看到了木星还有它的四颗小卫星
he was the only man on Earth that night who knew
那一晚，地球上只有他一个人知道
That Copernicus was right
哥白尼是对的
come outside with me tonight
今晚，就跟我一起来吧
and I can show you wonders of the world
我会给你看到这世界的奇妙
to surprise and delight
令人惊喜，令人愉悦
I've got my telescope with me
我已带上了我的望远镜
just wait until you see
只等你来亲眼证实
that on the Shoulders of Giants....
我们站在巨人的肩膀上
... we'll see beyond!
一定会看的更远！
The world turns round and round now around 400 years have flown
世界年复一年的流转，400年飞逝而去
since Galileo's telescope first focused the unknown
那时，伽利略第一次把望远镜的焦距对准了那个未知的世界
Now we use bigger glass to peer into the past
现在我们用更大的镜片来凝望过去
And we're discovering the Universe's secrets at last
我们不断的发现着宇宙中的奥秘
And there are geysers on Saturn's icy moon
在冰冷的土星卫星上有天然温泉
and planets circling hundreds of stars
行星们永远围绕之那几百颗恒星
while all the Universe expands like a balloon
同时，整个宇宙像气球一般还在膨胀
from Galileo's tiny scope we've come so far
从伽利略小小的望远镜里我们探索了很远
Galileo was right
伽利略是对的
when he looked out in the night
在每个夜晚，当他深窥太空
and he discovered wonders of the world
他看到了这世界的奇妙
to surprise and delight
令人欣喜 令人惊叹
I've got my telescope with me
我已带上了望远镜
just wait until you see
就等你来看
we'll stand on the Shoulders of Giants...
我们将站在巨人之肩
And every step follows the one before
沿着先贤的足迹
and opens up a new frontier to explore
开拓向前
our 'scopes are dancing in space to see the beauty and grace
为了目睹美丽和优雅 镜头的视野在天空舞旋
Oh, Galileo would approve, that's for sure
哦 伽利略无疑会赞成
And still for me and you we can join in on this too
让我们一起来吧
Just climb up here with me where we'll see more
和我一起站在巨人之肩
It's a calm and cloudless night come outside with me tonight
今晚无风晴朗 跟我一起来吧
and I can show you wonders of the world to surprise and delight
