This Side Of The Sun - Don Williams

I thought l'd be an angel
我以为我是天使
And fly on astral skies
在浩瀚星空飞翔
I thought l'd wear a fanciful disguise
穿着奇怪的服装
And it's taken me a lotta time
很久之后
To find out l'm not one
我才发现我不是
An outlaw on the run
我只是亡命之徒
On this side of the sun
在这世间
I hoped l'd be a champion
我希望我是佼佼者
And live without a care
无忧无虑地生活
I thought l'd change the world
我以为我可以改变世界
Make it just and fair
让世界变得公平公正
But my you'th slipped by before my eyes
但我的青春 就这样在我眼前悄然逝去
Much to my surprise
让我措手不及
Before I had begun
来不及轰轰烈烈 就已化作尘土
On this side of the sun
在这世间
Out on this end of the wind
跟随风的尾巴
Winter's coming 'round the bend
寒冬横扫大地
You pray for rain before you know
情不自禁祈祷雨的降临
You're standing in a foot of snow
站在一英尺厚的白雪里
So you pull your coat up to your chin
你将衣领高高竖起
Pick your shovel up again
再一次拿起雪铲
'Cause your work is never done
你还有很多事要做
On this side of the sun
在这世间
I took it to a fortune teller
我寻过占卜者
I thought that she might help me
我以为她会帮我
She looked into my eyes
她看着我的眼睛
And smiled mysteriously
带着神秘的微笑
But she didn't know as much as me
可她并不了解我
I stared back dejectedly
我沮丧地盯着她
'Cause I know where she's from
因为我知道她的来历
This side of the sun
在这世间
Out behind these prison walls
就在这牢笼之外
Dark clouds come and hard rains fall
乌云密布 大雨倾盆
You pause a moment for a dream
你暂停对梦想的追寻
They row you gently down the stream
在平淡中随波逐流
You wake up angry in the night
在黑夜里突然愤怒觉醒
Jump up ready for the fight
一跃而起 准备投入抗争
But the war is never won
但这是一场永远赢不了的战役
On this side of the sun
在这世间
Now they tell me music
他们告诉我
Can free a person's soul
音乐能释放灵魂
So I sing a song everywhere I go
于是我一路高歌
But it's not much different than before
可没有什么不同
I'm still looking for the door
我依然在寻找那扇门
I wonder if there is one
我想知道它是否存在
On this side of the sun
在这世间
