Sparkle on the ocean
在大海上闪闪发光
Eagle at the top of a tree
雄鹰伫立在树梢
Those crazy crows always making a commotion
那些疯狂的乌鸦总是制造骚动
This land is home to me
这片土地就是我的家
I was talking to my neighbor
我在和邻居聊天
He said "When I get to heaven if it is not like this
他说等我上了天堂如果不是这样的话
I'll just hop a cloud and I'm coming right back down here
我会跳上云端我会回到这里
Back to this heavenly bliss"
回到这天堂般的幸福中
You see those lovely hills
你看见那些可爱的山丘
They won't be there for long
他们不会停留太久
They're gonna tear 'em down
他们会摧毁一切
And sell them to California
卖到加利福尼亚去
Here come the toxic spills
有毒的东西洒出来了
Miners poking all around
到处都是矿工
When this place looks like a moonscape
这地方看起来就像月球表面
Don't say I didn't warn ya
别说我没有警告过你
Money money money
钞票
Money makes the trees come down
有钱能使鬼推磨
It makes mountains into molehills
把高山都变成了白山
Big money kicks the wide wide world around
腰缠万贯走遍大千世界
Black bear in the orchard
果园里的黑熊
At night he's in my garbage cans
晚上他躺在我的垃圾桶里
He's getting so bold but no one wants to shoot him
他胆大包天可没人想开枪打他
He's got a right to roam this land
他有权利在这片土地上漫游
I feel like Geronimo
我感觉自己是Geronimo
Used to be as trusting as Cochise
曾经像Cochise一样深信不疑
But the white eyes lies
可那双白眼骗人
He's out of whack with nature
他和大自然格格不入
And look how far his weapons reach
看看他的武器有多远
Spirit of the water
水之精灵
Give us all the courage and the grace
给予我们勇气和恩典
To make genius of this tragedy unfolding
让这场悲剧变得更加精彩
The genius to save this place
拯救这个地方的天才
