This song is for the rats
这首歌献给那些老鼠
Who hurled themselves into the ocean
它们纵身跃入大海
When they saw that the explosives in the cargo hold
当看到货舱中的炸药
Were just about to blow
即将引爆的时刻
This song is for the soil
这首歌献给那片土壤
That's toxic clear down to the bedrock
毒入基岩的贫瘠之地
Where no thing of consequence can grow
寸草不生的荒芜之所
Drop your seeds there let them go
任你播种也终将徒劳
Let them all go
让它们都随风去吧
Let 'em all go
让它们都随风去吧
This song is for the people
这首歌献给那些
Who tell their families that they're sorry
向家人道歉的人们
For things they can't
为那些他们无法
And won't feel sorry for
也不会真正感到抱歉的事
And once there was a desk
曾经有一张书桌
And now it's in a storage locker somewhere
如今它躺在某个储物柜里
And this song is for the stick pins and the cottons
这首歌献给那些别针与棉絮
I left in the top drawer
被我遗落在抽屉深处
Let 'em all go
让它们都随风去吧
Let 'em all go
让它们都随风去吧
I wanna sing one for the cars
我想为那些车辆歌唱
That are right now headed silent down the highway
此刻正无声驶过漆黑公路
And it's dark and there is nobody driving
没有驾驶员 只有无尽夜色
And something has got to give
有些事情终将改变
I saw you waiting by the roadside
我看见你在路边等候
You didn't know that I was watching
你不知我一直在注视
Now you know
现在你知道了
Let it all go
让一切随风去吧
Let 'em all go
让它们都随风去吧
Let it all go
让一切随风去吧
