Written by：Sting

I looked out across
我眺望远方
The river today
今日的河流
Saw a city in the fog
看见雾中的城市
And an old church tower seagulls play
还有海鸥环绕的古老教堂塔楼
Saw the sad shire horses walking home
看见疲惫的马匹踏上归途
In the sodium light
在钠灯的光影下
And a pale sun shrinks from the empty streets
苍白的太阳从空荡的街道隐退
And day falls into night
白昼沉入黑夜
All this time
所有这些时光
The river flowed
河水不停流淌
Endlessly
永无止境
To the sea
流向大海
Wallsend
沃尔森德
Oh yeah Wallsend
哦，是的，沃尔森德
More like the world's end
更像是世界的尽头
Our teachers told us
我们的老师告诉我们
The Romans built this place
罗马人建造了此地
Built a wall and a temple
筑起城墙与神庙
At an edge of the empire garrison town
在帝国边陲的驻军小镇
They lived and they died
他们在此生活与死亡
And they prayed to their gods
向他们的神明祈祷
But the stone gods did not make a sound
但石像神明默然无声
And their empire crumbled till
直至帝国崩塌
All that was left
仅剩废墟残存
Were these stones the workmen found
这些石头是工人们发现的吗
All this time
所有这些时光
The river flowed
河水不停流淌
Endlessly
永无止境
To the sea
流向大海
If I had my way
如果我能做主
I'd take a boat from river
我会从河上乘船离开
And I'd bury the old man
我会埋葬那个老人
I'd bury him at sea
我会将他葬于大海
Nothing's ever changed 'round here
这里的一切从未改变
Not in ten thousand years I fear
恐怕一万年也不会变
Same bend in the river
河流依旧蜿蜒
Where the tide slows down
潮水在此放缓
And the seagulls circle this dirty old town
海鸥盘旋在这座肮脏的老城上空
So I ask myself
于是我自问
Why the hell would I stay
为何还要留在这里
Just churches and pubs
只有教堂和酒馆
Where drink or you pray
要么喝酒，要么祈祷
And the sky's still the same old battleship gray
天空依旧是那熟悉的战舰灰
If only the pubs stayed open all day
要是酒馆能全天营业该多好
All this time
所有这些时光
The river flowed
河水不停流淌
In the falling light
在逐渐暗淡的光线中
Of a northern sun
北方太阳的余晖
Well I had my way
我如愿以偿
I took a boat from the river
我乘船离开了那条河
'Cause men go crazy congregations
因为人们变得疯狂，集会
They only get better
他们只会变得更好
One by one
一个接一个
One by one
一个接一个
One by one by born
一个接一个地诞生
One by one
一个接一个
I looked out across
我眺望远方
The river today
今日的河流
