More information has come to light about 3-year old Syrian boy Aylan Kurdi,
现在有更多关于三岁叙利亚男孩艾伦·库尔迪的信息被报道
whose body was found recently washed up on a beach in Turkey.
那个最近在土耳其海岸上被发现遗体的男孩
Refugee applicants now say that his family's ultimate goal was to reach asylum
难民请求人声称 他的家庭的最终目的是寻求庇护
in Canada.
加拿大这个避难所
He was carried from the water by a solider
他被士兵带离了水面
And the picture screams a thousand different words
那张照片宣泄了无数人的惊恐不安
He was running from the terror with his father
他忍受着恐惧与父亲一起逃离
Who once believed that nothing could be worse
那个曾认为不能更糟糕的父亲
So he’d handed a man two thousand precious dollars
所以父亲向专人上交了珍贵的两千美元
The way you’d rest a bird in a lion’s open jaw
就像你让小鸟停歇在狮子的血盆大口中
And he told the boys that Canada was waiting
父亲告诉孩子们 加拿大近在眼前
That there was hope upon her golden shores
在她（加拿大）金黄海滩之下蕴藏希望
But at night he said a quiet prayer into the wind
但在夜里 父亲向晚风暗自祈祷
Oh Canada, if you can hear me now
噢 加拿大 如果您能听见我的祈求
Won’t you open up your arms towards the sea
您是否会张开双臂 面向海洋
Oh Canada, if you can help me out
噢 加拿大 如果您能帮助我脱离困境
All I've ever wanted was a safe place for my family
我想要的只不过是能保全我家人的地方
白日难熬 而 长夜更漫
Well the days were long but the nights were even longer
愿小婴儿永不会离开母亲身旁
And the baby boys never left their mother’s side
但扁舟如叶而波涛肆虐
But the boat was small and the waves were getting stronger
他们感到恐惧却无处求生
And they began to fear they’d not survive
所以 父亲说：“我们紧紧抱成一团吧
So the father said “We gotta hold each other tighter
今夜我很高兴 我没有失去任何人
I’m not losing everyone I love tonight
我们已经行驶了很远 我知道就在那里
And we’ve come so far I know that out there somewhere
有个地方 让我们不必为生存而担惊受怕”
There’s a place where we’ll not fear for our lives”
但当父亲稳住船身一边时 他抬头看天
But as he held onto the side of the boat he looked up at the sky
噢 加拿大 如果您能听见我的祈求
Oh Canada, if you can hear me now
您是否会张开双臂 面向海洋
Won’t you open up your arms towards the sea
噢 加拿大 如果您能帮助我脱离困境
Oh Canada, if you can help me out
海面在翻涌 我想我们将会沉落
The sea is turning and I think we’re going down
噢 加拿大 如果您能听见我的祈求
您是否会向海洋敞开你的心房（接纳我们）
Oh Canada, if you can hear me now,
噢 任何人 请帮我们
Won’t you open up your heart towards the sea
我想要的只不过是能保全我家人的地方
Oh anyone, please help us out
有一百万种方法来证实你的恐惧
All we've ever wanted was a safe place for our family
有一百万种方法来阐明你的失语
但艾伦的躯体就横置在沙滩上
There’s a million ways to justify your fear
告诉我 风月同天 何以存之
There’s a million ways to measure out your words
But the body of Alan being laid upon the sand
Tell me how do you live with that?
