歌词
In a land of a billion what's a few hundred million?
在富饶的土地上，金钱算得了什么
Empty buildings, cement on the ceilings
空荡荡的建筑，天花板上的水泥
Cut the lifeline and left a population reeling
断掉后路，人们担心着未来
Breaking off the future without thinking of the children
不为孩子们的未来考虑
I heard a girl cry, saw a boy laugh
我听过女孩儿哭泣，见过男孩儿的笑容
Saw the future turn white in a camera flash
相机中的未来一片光明
As the camera snaps, it all blows past
快门的卡嚓声，回忆着过去
No more light now, it's growin all black
我们在黑暗中摸索着未来的道路
See the future but can't make it change
预见了未来却无能为力
So I say my prayers for those who aren't of age
所以我为孩子们祈祷着
As behind closed eyes I see the unmarked graves
双眼紧闭之后我看到了一片无名墓
And I, try to smile, but my expression's - changed
我尝试乐观面对此事，但我的表情却不受控制
What will they do with the playgrounds
他们会在操场上做些什么呢？
When the ones who used to play there don't come round
曾经在操场玩耍的孩子们再也不会回来了
And there's no one to replace them
他们不可替代
A generation crying out because we couldn't save them
我们这一代人潸然泪下只因我们无法挽救他们的生命
Who will wash them, who will bathe them?
谁将为他们净身，谁将净化他们
Commemorate them in their last days?
纪念他们仅有的日子
And in a mother's eyes, and a father's face
母亲的眼中，父亲的脸上
I glimpse a painting that was left untraced
我瞥见一副未名不见经传的图画
你内心的感受是什么？
What about your deepest feelings?
你破碎的内心感觉如何
What about your broken heart?
在那里存在的人呢
What about someone who's there
当所有的事情破碎之后呢
When everything else falls apart?
实打实的兄妹
A true brother, a true sister
他们会伸出援手吗？
Is there with a helping hand
你伤心流泪时，你可以用泪水将我的肩膀打湿
When you cry, you'll find my shoulder
不论何时何地，你需要，我就在
When you need me, I'll be there
小孩儿，小孩儿
孩子才是未来
One child, one child
孩童，孩童
One child might be a king
她无所不是
One child, one child
心怀梦想走进顶尖大学
She could be everything
这个国家最好的大学在北京
她机智过人并有着美好的未来，他有着和她一样的笑容
Top university with big dreams
和有着爱意的目光，向她望去
The best school in the country was in Beijing
寒冬懂人心，他使她暖心
She was smart with a bright future - He had a smile like hers
当他约她出去是，她不假思索的同意了
and caring eyes, that looked right through her
她的室友们都嘲笑她
Cold winter, but he made her warm
她用他的照片当屏保
So when he asked her out she texted right back - sure
同班，同专业
Her roommates all teased her
早晨六点起就一直在一起，知道他送
When his picture showed up on her phone screensaver
她回家，并且进入她的梦乡中
Same classes, the same major
她并不想入睡，她将他视为救世主
Together all day from 6 AM until he made her
他们是在学校的角落中互换初吻的
Go home to sleep, and in her dreams
他不善技巧但她教他方法
She didn't count sheep, she saw him as her savior
第三个月，他们有一个特殊的约会
Their first kiss in a corner of the campus
用攒了很久的钱开了一个房
His lips were untrained but she taught him manners
第四个月，她迟到了
At three months, they had a special date
他们知道那一刻他们的命运已经被掌控了
Rented a hotel room with the money he had saved her
孕妇可不能做猫鼠游戏
At four months, it turns out she's late
星期六，它在三个小时内被玩成了
They both knew that the moment had sealed their fate
你内心的感受是什么
A pregnant woman can't run the rat race
你破碎的心呢
It was done in three hours on a Saturday, ay
那边的人呢
当一切都分崩离析时呢？
What about your deepest feelings?
货真价实的兄弟姐妹
What about your broken heart?
是否会向你伸出援手呢
What about someone who's there
你伤心时，我的肩膀是你的依靠
When everything else falls apart?
你需要，我就在
A true brother, a true sister
孩子，孩子
Is there with a helping hand
将会主宰这个世界
When you cry, you'll find my shoulder
少年，少年
When you need me, I'll be there
将无所不能
秋季结婚，春天怀孕
One child, one child
他们的未来如同她手上的钻戒一样光彩夺目
One child might be a king
夏天会更加清楚，冬天会带
One child, one child
给他们另一种生活，他们梦寐以求的
She could be everything
新年新气象
新一代人，小姑娘出生了
Married in the fall; pregnant by the spring
最后他们觉得人生完美了
Their future was as bright as the diamond on her ring
命名了她的信仰，他们的未来，如胶似漆
By the summer it was clear that the winter would bring
母亲工作，父亲教课
Another life into their family, that's what they had dreamed
爷爷打盹时由奶奶带孩子
The new year brought a new life into the world
但他们内心中，总有一个坎儿
A new generation, a little baby girl
他们还想再要一个孩子
Finally, they felt so complete
法律告诉他们，一个孩子已经足够
Named her faith: their future, made concrete
再多要一个就犯法了
Mom went back to work, dad taught his class
再要一个孩子就要交高额税和学费了
Grandma watched the child while grandpa took a nap
他们又被告知，这意味着要多一个人吃饭
But in their hearts, they felt a hole
所以当她腹部再次隆起时
Next to little baby faith where another should go
那时她本应心情愉悦但他们却开心不起来
But the law said one child is all they need
他们家中，他们没有话语权
More than that is unpatriotic indeed
只因法律规定国家不需要选择
Another child means paying steep taxes and fees
你心中所想如何？
And they were told: it's just one more mouth to feed
你破碎的心呢
So when her belly gets large again
在那里守候着的人呢！
The moment should be joyful but it's hard on them
当事情支离破碎时呢？
In their own family, they don't have a voice
一个哥哥，一个姐姐
Because the law says the country doesn't have a choice
会在那里帮助你吗
你若要哭泣，请哭给我听
What about your deepest feelings?
我会一直陪在你身边
What about your broken heart?
一个孩子，又一个孩子
What about someone who's there
孩子才是未来
When everything else falls apart?
国家的栋梁
A true brother, a true sister
她是万物
Is there with a helping hand
When you cry, you'll find my shoulder
When you need me, I'll be there
One child, one child
One child might be a king
One child, one child
She could be everything...
