歌词
Joseph, he left in the first light of morning
约瑟夫 他在第一缕晨光中离开
The boatman was waiting, the tide was turning
海潮拍打上岸 渔夫静静等待
And he stood for a moment as if to say
他伫立岸边 好似诉说
I will see you in passing
我会在途中 与你相遇
The wind took the sails and he floated away
风推行着船 他随浪漂远
Like so much driftwood washed out of the bay
就像浮木随波逐流 远离海湾
And he sailed to the island
他行到了海岸
Where the sand meets the sky and he breathed again
那里砂砾与蓝天相接 他深吸空气
There was something about the sand and the sea
里面混着 沙与海的味道
How it all comes together, how it's all meant to be
它们如何交汇相融 意味着什么
For water is life and sand measures time for the healing
水像生命 沙子缓缓流逝 正如时光治愈伤口
They say he found Jesus, but that's really not true
人们说 他见到了耶稣 但这只是谎言
It's just an excuse for the blind and confused
是无知迷茫者的借口
For he searched for beauty and freedom from pain
说他从痛苦中得到美与解脱
And he made himself well
说他一切安好
Joseph, we waited for you
约瑟夫 我们等着你归来
We waited and hoped you'd come through
我们等待着 期盼着
We looked to the mail boat to bring us a word
希望邮船有一天 带来你的只言片语
But the sound of the seagull was all that we heard
但海滩一片寂静 只有海鸥的叫声徘徊
Now he walks like a dancer and measures his space
现在 他迈着步伐 欢快走来
So strong in his movement and easy with grace
动作有力而优雅
And he carries his body like one who has seen
他支撑着身体
The hope of an answer
像看到了成功的希望
And way in the distance the island is there
通往岛屿的路 就在这里
Which shifts in the sunlight and floats in the air
在阳光中蜿蜒 在空气中浮动
A haven for dreamers and lovers who lost
那是迷失的幻想家与爱人们的避难所
And people like Joseph
人们爱着约瑟夫
Joseph, we waited for you
约瑟夫 我们等着你归来
We waited and hoped you'd come through
我们等待着 期盼着
We looked to the mail boat to bring us a word
希望邮船有一天 带来你的只言片语
But the sound of the seagull was all that we heard
但海滩一片寂静 只有海鸥的叫声徘徊
