Language Of Birds - Sting

They say there's an underground river

That none of us can see
没人能看得到
And it flows through winding tunnels
在弯曲的河道中流淌
On its way to a tide-less sea
一直去往那无波的海洋
And across that sea is an island
海的另一头，是个小岛
A paradise we are told
据说那里是个天堂
Where the toils of life are forgotten
在那儿会忘记生活的艰辛
And they call it the Island of Souls
那里是灵魂之岛
For only a soul can go there
因为只有灵魂才能登上那座小岛
A soul that's been set free
在那里获得自由
From the confines of a working life
不再受工作劳累之苦
To find eternity
获得永生
Your old man had a cage for his pigeons

But that's really where he kept his soul

And when he watched them fly he would see himself

Least that's how it was told

But his soul was still trapped in the cage son

While the birds they soared to the sky

But he couldn't find his own way out
直到他离开这个世界
Least not 'til the day he died
仍没找到解决的办法
Oh a man builds a cage with the tools he is given
哦，人用工具，制造出笼子
His casket is sealed with a riveter's gun

He'd be easier speaking the language of birds
