歌词
This is a small prayer
这是一个小小的祈祷者
In the eyes of men he falls
在人们眼中 他倒下了
And in his own eyes too
在他眼里亦是如此
He falls from his high place
他从他所在的高处跌落
He trips on his achievement
他曾因他的成就而得意忘形
He falls to you, he falls to know you.
他落向你 并且认识了你
It is sad, they say.
他们说 这是如此的悲伤
See his disgrace, say the ones at his heel.
看他是这样的难堪 说出他身后的耻辱吧
But he falls radiantly toward the light to which he falls.
但是他却是如此耀眼地朝着光明坠落
They cannot see who lifts him as he falls,
他们未曾看见有谁在他跌倒的时候扶起他
Or how his falling changes,
还是说 他们是在等待他的堕落到底有何变化
And he himself bewildered
他自己亦是如此困惑
Till his heart cries out to bless the one
直到他的内心呼喊出来祝福那个人
Who holds him in his falling.
是谁让他堕落
And in his fall he hears his heart cry out
在他的堕落之中他听到了他内心的声音
His heart explains why he is falling
他的内心告诉他 他为何堕落
Why he had to fall, and he gives over to the fall.
为何不得不倒下 甚至屈服于失败
Blessed are you, clasp of the falling.
我为你祈祷 堕落的枷锁
He falls into the sky,
他跌落天国
He falls into the light
他落入光明
None can hurt him as he falls.
没有人可以在他堕落的时候伤害他
Blessed are you, shield of the falling.
祝福你 堕落的盾牌
Wrapped in his fall, concealed within his fall,
在他的堕落之中包裹着他 隐藏在他的堕落之中
He finds the place, he is gathered in.
他找到了这个地方 他被召唤而来
While his hair streams back and his clothes tear in the wind,
当风停止时 他的头发飘扬而来 他的衣服撕裂于风
He is held up, comforted, he enters into the place of his fall.
他被高举 被安慰 他进入了他所堕落的地方
Blessed are you, embrace of the falling,
你是有福的 拥抱堕落吧
Foundation of the light, master of the human accident.
那是迎来光明前的漫漫长夜 也是人类意外的主啊
