Evensong - The Innocence Mission

Evensong

The day is over
一天结束了
And still so heavy on the mind:
心情依然沉重
In flew glowing smiling Mother butterfly
灼热的飞行 微笑的圣母
In yellow
像黄色的蝴蝶
To join the frowning cactus crowd
加入到愁眉苦脸的人群里
Finding flowers - even there - to flutter round
寻找花朵 围绕着她飞舞
I thought Isn't Mother grand
我想圣母难道不庄严吗
The way she flies and flies
她飞翔的方式
Into the sting of the cold
冷风刺骨
And the prick of the barbed wire
像是带刺的铁丝网
Isn't mother grand
圣母难道不庄严吗
To gladly fly and swiftly fly
高兴地飞舞 快速地飞走
Into the sting of the cold
冷风刺骨
And the prick of the barbed wire
像是带刺的铁丝网
The day is over
一天结束了
And still goes passing through the mind:
仍然通过心灵去传递
In came glowing smiling Mother sure and kind
灼热的来临 微笑的圣母 用亲切
To rouse us
来唤醒我们
To give ourselves out and to cry
让我们释放哭出来
Birth to warm intentions worthless otherwise
出生便是为了温暖人间 否则毫无意义
Oh the lives that brush against us
生活中碰到我们
Pass us by and by
擦肩而过
The friends who may or may not come
那些来或不来的朋友们
If we would first invite
如果我们第一次邀请
Oh to open doors
打开门
To always gladly fly and fly
总是高兴地飞呀飞
Into the sting of the cold
冷风刺骨
And the prick of the barded wire
就像带刺的铁丝网
