Potter's Wheel - John Denver (约翰·丹佛)
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
The world is fast becoming younger
世界正加速年轻化
The news is all they've ever known
新闻是他们全部的认知
They've seen the wars the hurt the hunger
他们目睹战争 伤痛与饥荒
How will they choose when they are grown
长大后将如何抉择
What do you tell forever's children
你该对永恒之子说些什么
When it's their turn to hurt and heal
当轮到他疗愈创伤时
Whatever spins a grim tornedo
那催生毁灭的狂暴旋风
Can also turn a potters wheel
同样能转动陶工的转盘
Take a little clay
取一捧陶土
Put it on a wheel
置于转轮之上
Get a little hint
恍然间领悟
How god must feel
造物者的心肠
Give a little turn
轻轻转动手掌
Listen to a spin
聆听旋转声响
Make it into the shape
塑成你心中
You want it in
期盼的模样
Tell with your life the bloody story
用生命诉说血色篇章
Teach to they're dreams not burning steel
教导梦想而非战火锋芒
It's not in bombs where lies the glory
荣光不在炮弹炸响
But in what's shattered on the field
而在战场破碎的理想
The potter's wheel takes love and caring
陶轮转动需爱与守望
Skill and patience fast and slow
快慢皆需技艺与时光
The works it makes are easily broken
精心之作易碎难防
Once they survive the potter's throw
经得起拉坯才算成章
Take a little clay
取一捧陶土
Put it on a wheel
置于转轮之上
Get a little hint
恍然间领悟
How god must feel
造物者的心肠
Give a little turn
轻轻转动手掌
Listen to a spin
聆听旋转声响
Make it into the shape
塑成你心中
You want it in
期盼的模样
Some day some children will be digging
终有一日孩童们会挖掘
In some long forgotten ground
在那被遗忘的古老土壤
And they'll find our civilisation
他们将发现我们的文明
Or what's left of it to be found
或仅存于世的断壁残垣
They'll find the weapons of destruction
他们会找到毁灭的武器
But buried deeper in the hole
但在更深的土层之下
They'll find a message and a promise
将寻获我们镌刻的箴言
In the sand
与沙砾中的永恒誓言
The potter's bowl
陶匠的陶钵
Take a little clay
取一捧陶土
Put it on a wheel
置于转轮之上
Get a little hint

聆听旋转声响
Make it into the shape

Earth and fire and wind conspire

With human hands and love and fire
