Testify - Melissa Etheridge

Mornings hard coffees cold
清晨来杯冰冷的咖啡
Pretending that the days mean more than getting old
假装这些日子比变老更重要
Stale headlines other drenched in pride
毫无新意的标题其他人都沉浸在骄傲里
Marching to their drum with fear standing beside
带着恐惧昂首阔步站在他们的身边
But if I close my eyes and throw back my head
但如果我闭上眼睛把头往后仰
I can see his face and I hear the words he said
我看见他的脸听到他说的话
And my memories ache and my senses burn
我的回忆痛苦不堪我的感觉痛苦不堪
Did he dream too late will we ever learn
他的梦想是不是太晚了我们能否吸取教训
I I want to testify
我想作证
My love still lives and breathes
我的爱依然存在
And my soul is screaming why
我的灵魂在呐喊为什么
The thoughts won't let me sleep
这些想法让我无法入眠
Don't let hearts break
不要让心支离破碎
And don't let children cry
别让孩子哭泣
Before it gets too late
趁还来得及
I want to testify

I take whats said as my daily dread
我把这些话当做我每天的恐惧
I turn the page and I turn my head
我翻开新的一页转过头
I pick I choose on the evening news
我选择上晚间新闻
Cause by cause they fight and one by one they lose
因为他们争吵不休一个接一个地失败
Must I live my days in these concrete ways
我必须这样实实在在地过日子吗
Will the fire break through this smokey haze
烈火能否冲破这烟雾弥漫的阴霾
And I swear tonight I'm gonna find that place
我发誓今晚我会找到那个地方
Its not the love that dies but the understanding ways
消失的不是爱而是相互理解
I I want to testify
我想作证
My love still lives and breathes

And don't let children cry
别让孩子哭泣
Before it gets too late
趁还来得及
I want to testify

Rip through the wire that screens in my window
挣脱我窗户上的窃听器
Throw open the shade that covers my mind
打开笼罩我心灵的阴影
I'm going to touch I've got to believe
我要去触碰我必须相信
The bell tolls for me
钟声为我响起
