There's a story in an ancient play
古老戏剧中有个传说
About birds called The Birds
关于名为《群鸟》的篇章
And it's a short story
这是个简短的故事
From before the world began
发生在创世之前
From a time when there was no earth
那时大地尚未成形
No land
没有土壤
Only air and birds everywhere
唯有空气与漫天飞鸟
But the thing was
但特别的是
There was no place to land
无处可以停歇
Because there was no land
因为大地尚未成形
So they just circled around and around
只能盘旋往复 无止无休
Because this was before the world began
那时世界还未诞生
And the sound was deafening
鸣声响彻云霄
Songbirds were everywhere
处处皆是啼鸟
Billions and billions
千千万万
And billions of birds
数不尽的飞鸟
And one of these birds was a lark
其中一只鸟儿是云雀
And one day her father died
某天她的父亲离世
And this was a really big problem
这成了天大的难题
Because what should they do with the body
该如何安放他的身躯
There was no place to put the body
世间无处可容遗体
Because there was no earth
因为那时大地未生
And finally the lark had a solution
最终云雀想到办法
She decided to bury her father
她决定将父亲埋葬
In the back if her own head
在她自己的脑后
And this was the beginning of memory
这便是记忆的开端
Because before this
因为在此之前
No one could remember a thing
无人能忆起任何事
They were just constantly flying in circles
他们只是不停地盘旋
Constantly flying in huge circles
在无尽的轮回中飞翔
