歌词
Oh you, my lowland brother
你,来自低地的兄弟
What did we really know of each other
我们究竟对彼此了解多少
They had seen to it that we were kept apart
他们曾设法将你我分离
Oh you, my lowland brother
你,来自低地的兄弟
When did we lose each other
我们是在何时失去了彼此
For you were but a boy with the freedom of falcons in is heart
因为你只是一个向往如猎鹰般自由的少年
When did we know that we were on the wrong side
我们是在何时意识到自己站错了队伍
That this war had always been just a matter of pride
这向来只是一场关乎荣耀的战争
When did we notice the one with the land we loved
我们何曾注意在这片我们所热爱的土地上发生了什么
You'll cry within your heaven above
将来你只能在天堂里悲泣
This is no time for amnesia
现在还不是失忆的时候
And what glue would hold us together now
如今是什么让我们凝聚在一起
If not the soil of Rhodesia
倘若不是罗得西亚的国土,又会是什么
Rhodesia still lies in all the slain wild beasts
罗得西亚依旧留存在所有惨遭杀戮的野兽体内
And in the wind of the cotton land still in their lungs
依旧留存在它们的肺里,在棉花地吹拂的风中
And their sightless eyes of a honeydew sun
在它们那蜜色太阳的盲眼中
Now we're sleeping in circles
此时我们围成圆圈入眠
On the stones of silverstream
在清澈溪流的石上
Under nectar-weeping trees
在泣出甘露的树下
Through blood-curdling screams
在令人悚然的尖叫声中
This call for the great divide
对这巨大分裂的呼吁
It felt like an end to pride
像是对尊严的终结
A country dead before the seizure
一个国家在被攫取之前死去
A country denied
一个国家否认
Rhodesia
罗得西亚
Rhodesia still lies in all the slain wild beasts
罗得西亚依旧留存在所有惨遭杀戮的野兽体内
And in the wind of the cotton land still in their lungs
依旧留存在它们的肺里,在棉花地吹拂的风中
And their sightless eyes of a honeydew sun
在它们那蜜色太阳的盲眼中
Now we're sleeping in circles
此时我们围成圆圈入眠
On the stones of silverstream
在清澈溪流的石上
Under nectar-weeping trees
在泣出甘露的树下
Through blood-curdling screams
在令人悚然的惨叫声中
This call for the great divide
对这巨大分裂的呼吁
It felt like an end to pride
像是对尊严的终结
A country dead before the seizure
一个国家在被攫取之前死去
A country denied
一个国家否认
