The Side of a Hill - Paul Simon

The Side of a Hill - Paul Simon (保罗·西蒙)

On the side of a hill in a land called Somewhere
山的那边，有一处无名之地
A little boy lies asleep in the earth
一个小男孩在地下长眠
While down in the valley a cruel war rages
而山谷之中，战火四起
And people forget what a child's life is worth
人们忘却了孩童生命的价值
On the side of a hill a little cloud weeps
在山的那边，有朵云在哭泣
And waters the grave with its silent tears
那云朵用无声的泪水浇灌着那座坟冢
While a soldier cleans and polishes a gun
与此同时，一名士兵在保养一杆枪
That ended a life at the age of seven years
那杆枪曾夺去一位七岁少年的性命
And the war rages on in land called Somewhere
在那无名之地，战火连天
And generals order their men to kill
将军命令士兵杀戮不止
And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten
让士兵为一个早已遗忘的原因去战斗
While a little cloud weeps on the side of a hill
在山的那边，有朵云在哭泣
