歌词
On the first of December
在那个十二月一日
I was commissioned to sail away
我就此开始远航
On a ship that was sinking
一边行驶，一边沉沦，一边漂泊，一边飘零
Forty nights and forty days
四十个昼夜
And while I went under
当我抵达去处
The tears of a murdered land
这无情大陆的眼泪
Were turning the earth into sand
将会摧毁一切
I'm too cold to be sleeping
无眠的冷夜
So I light up a candle of regret
我点燃悲叹的蜡烛
To burn the secrets I'm keeping
在灯烛上焚毁我保守的一切秘密
And pray that someday I can forget
祈祷有一天我终将忘记这一切
The cries of my people
我子民的欢呼震聋发挥
The voices of doubt inside my head
不确信的声响弥漫在脑海中
I think of the things that you said
想起一切你所说过的话
Am I alone here？
我真的是独自一人吗
Are there others like me too
还有像我一样的人吗？
Safe in my capsule
在只属于自己的一叶扁舟之上
Unable to move
步履难行
How long has it been now？
不知白云苍狗
And where will this journey end?
这悲旅何时为止？
Will it end...Ohhh...Yeah...
何时为止？
Got the hands of a farmer
我有农夫的双手
The worlds of a preacher's tongur
有牧师的舌头
Got the heart of a sailor
还有水手的信心
To believe till your work is done
这信心陪伴着我，直到上帝的责罚结束
I will stand in the ocean
而我不会离开这深渊
with these wooden planks under my feet
还有脚下咆哮的夹板
I will come to your table
我将入席你的宴会
After my journey's complete
我的旅行不残缺
I believe in the future
我的信仰在未来
I can feel the blood rising in my veins
感受血脉喷张
It's the sound of a battle cry
这是一场战斗的呐喊
When only the echo remains
当一切只剩下空洞的回响
I will serve you forever
我将永远保存这份信仰
I will build you a nation of love
为你筑下爱的国度
I'm relying on luck,oh God
感谢神的恩典
The fourleaf clover from a dove
鸽子衔来四叶草
And isn't it crazy
一切都变得不同
For me to start life brand new？
我就此要开始全新的生活了吗？
And when I find Ararat
当我找到亚拉腊山（《圣经》所载，大洪水后诺亚方舟曾停靠的山）
The first thing that I do
我脑中有我所向往之事
stright across the country-side
给乡间以阡陌纵横的耕作
And nap in that sweet sunlight
在和煦的阳光下小憩
I'll be singing a love song
唱一支情歌
For my, mydear dear wife
给我最亲爱的妻子
And nap in that sweet sunlight
在和煦的阳光下小憩
Before the night is over
黎明破晓前
I'll be crying on your shoulder
我的悄然哭泣不会被你察觉
My wild imagination
想象力在一路狂奔
Is keeping me from losing patience
着使我保持耐心
Why did you make us
神啊，为什么造我们？
Only to tear us away？
活着只为了分离吗？
Why have you chosen me？
但你又为何选择我？
It was your fault anyway...
“为何如此？”
