Too Late for Prayin’ - Gordon Lightfoot

Too Late for Prayin' - Gordon Lightfoot
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
It was only yesterday
仿佛就在昨日
When I heard the teacher say
聆听师长谆谆教诲
Patiently one and two make three
耐心数算 一加二等于三
We were children you and me
你我曾是纯真孩童
Let us pray for the ones they call
让我们为当代孩童
The children of today
献上虔诚祈祷
Nothin' left but promises
唯余空洞诺言
Nothin' much is certain
世事难料皆无常
All we see is want and need across the board
满目尽是匮乏与渴望
Why thank you lord
主啊感恩您眷顾
We're livin' in the glory of your care
我们活在您的恩泽里
Skies of blue have all turned brown
湛蓝天空已蒙尘
To the sound of sighin'
叹息声此起彼伏
Lord abide let us stem the tide
求主垂怜 止息这
Of broken dreams
破碎梦想的浪潮
Sometimes you seem to tell us
有时你似乎在告诫我们
It's too late for prayin'
祈祷已为时太晚
See the ocean wild and blue
看那狂野蔚蓝的海洋
Think of all that's in her
想起她孕育的万物
She will not surrender to the likes of us
她本不会向我们屈服
But then she must
却终究难逃厄运
They tell us wise men tell us it's too late
智者说 一切都太迟了
For each child with eyes that smile
每个笑容纯真的孩童
There'll be ten more cryin'
又将有十个孩子在哭泣
Lord abide let us stem the time
主啊请与我们同在 让我们把握时光
Of helplessness
在这无助的时刻
But then I guess we're livin'
但我想我们仍在坚持活着
Is it too late for tryin'
现在努力是否已太迟
Nothin' here but grains of sand
眼前只剩沙粒般渺茫
Nothin' much worth savin'
没什么值得挽留
Guess we've all got problems of our own to bear
想必人人都有自己的重担要扛
And still we share
我们依然共同承担
Tomorrow could get better than today
明天或许会比今天更好
To the ones who've loved in vain
致那些徒然爱过的人
Will ya be beholden
你可愿铭记于心
Lord abide let us stem the tide
求主垂怜 止息这
Of broken dreams
破碎梦想的浪潮
Sometimes ya seem to tell us
有时你似乎在告诫我们
It's too late for prayin'
祈祷已为时太晚
