It's fifty years since Sputnik, when the Russians shocked the world
自苏联发射思普尼克（人造卫星）震惊世界已有50余年
With an orb and two antennae Earth would never be the same
因为一个球加上两根天线的家伙，世界从此变得不一样
Fueling our worst fears that we'd be vulnerable and weak
助长着我们会变弱与遭到攻击的恐惧
If we did not respond in kind, we'd lose the game
如果不以牙还牙，我们将会输掉这场游戏
So we got our act together, and Explorer One went flying
我们行动起来，让探索者一号升上了天空
But not before the Russians sent a dog up into space
但在这之前，苏联将一只狗送入了太空（小狗莱伊）
If I said I knew why they thought dogs should fly, I would be lying
如果说我知道他们这么做的缘由，我显然是在说谎
They were caught up in some kind of human race
他们被牵扯到了人类的斗争之中
A race to the furthest star
触及最远行星的比赛
A race to the galaxies above
探索头上星空的比赛
If a little bit of fear can go so far
若一点恐惧可以扩散的如此之大
Imagine what a world could do with love
想想世界会怎么对待人之爱恋
......

Gagarin took a spin around the globe in 61 and

Alexei took a spacewalk, Captain Kirk, he took our TV
阿列克谢（苏）第一次实现了太空漫步，科克船长则占据了收视率（星际迷航）
And I've never been the same since then
我从此也变得不一样
A race to the furthest star
触及最远行星的比赛
A race to the galaxies above
探索头上星空的比赛
If a little bit of dreaming goes so far
若一点梦想可以传达的如此之远
Imagine what a world could do with love
想想世界会怎么对待人之爱恋
......

Imagine human footprints on a distant lunar plane
想象远方月球上的第一个脚印
Imagine floating science labs where gravity is gone
想象失去重力的太空实验室
Imagine the potential that our species could contain
想象我们种族含有的无限可能
If we were drawn to love again
如果我们再次与它坠入爱河
I heard a scientist declare the world as we know it
曾听科学家们说我们所居的世界
Is destined to be swallowed up in some gigantic hole
注定会被巨大的黑洞吞噬
And nothing that you do on earth will outlast or survive this
你的一切所作所为都无济于事
Is there any point in trying to take control?
试图采取控制有什么意义呢？
Just another baby boomer, writing poems
就像婴儿潮时期的人所写的诗歌
Putting flowers into rifles, hugging trees and singing songs
“把花儿放进步枪，拥抱树木 放声歌唱”
And the questions in the air aren't rocket science
空气中弥漫的问题将不再复杂
What's the point and where on Earth do we belong?
意义究竟何在，我们到底属于哪里
In our race to the furthest star
在我们触及最远行星的比赛中
A race to the galaxies above
在我们探索头上星空的比赛中
If a little bit of vision goes so so far
若一点幻想可以飘散的如此之久
Imagine what a world could do with love
想想世界会怎么对待人之爱恋
