Two Thousand Years(Album Version) - Billy Joel

In the beginning
太初之时
There was the cold and the night
唯有寒冷与长夜
Prophets and angels gave us the fire and the light
先知与天使赐予我们火种与光明
Man was triumphant
人类终将凯旋
Armed with the faith and the will
以信仰与意志为武装
That even the darkest ages couldn't kill
纵使最黑暗的时代也无法将其磨灭
Too many kingdoms
太多王朝
Too many flags on the field
战旗在荒野上飘扬
So many battles so many wounds to be healed
历经多少战役 多少伤痕待抚平
Time is relentless
时光无情流逝
Only true love perseveres
唯有真爱永恒不渝
It's been a long time and now I'm with you
漫长的等待 终与你重逢
After two thousand years
跨越两千年的时光
This is our moment
此刻正是我们的时刻
Here at the crossroads of time
伫立在时光的十字路口
We hope our children carry our dreams down the line
愿我们的孩子能延续我们的梦想
They are the vintage
他们是珍贵的传承
What kind of life will they live
他们将拥有怎样的人生
Is this a curse or a blessing that we give
这究竟是我们赐予的祝福还是诅咒
Sometimes I wonder
有时我不禁思索
Why are we so blind to fate
为何我们对命运如此盲目
Without compassion there can be no end to hate
若失去悲悯之心 仇恨将永无止境
No end to sorrow
悲伤永无止境
Caused by the same endless fears
源于那无尽恐惧
Why can't we learn from all we've been through
为何我们无法从过往中汲取教训
After two thousand years
历经两千年沧桑
There will be miracles
奇迹终将降临
After the last war is won
在最后一场战争胜利之后
Science and poetry rule in the new world to come
科学与诗歌将主宰新生世界
Prophets and angels
先知与天使
Gave us the power to see
赐予我们预见的力量
What an amazing future there will be
那将是何等璀璨的未来
And in the evening
当暮色降临
After the fire and the light
历经烈焰与光芒
One thing is certain: Nothing can hold back the light
唯有一点确信无疑：光明终将无可阻挡
Time is relentless
时光无情流逝
And as the past disappears
当往昔烟消云散
We're on the verge of all things new
我们正站在万象更新的边缘
We are two thousand years
我们已历经两千载
