A Thousand Years
Sting
A Thousand Years 歌詞
(Brand New Day)
(新的開始)
千年之外,還有千年
A thousand years, a thousand more,
千次扣問,百萬扇通往永恆的門
A thousand times a million doors to eternity
我歷經千劫人生,千次輪迴
I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times
樓梯蔓延,百轉回環,無窮無盡
An endless turning stairway climbs
是通往靈魂的高塔
To a tower of souls
如果世界歷經千年,千次戰爭
If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars,
在無盡的蒼穹中,高塔升起的無數階梯
The towers rise to numberless floors in space
我會滑落百萬眼淚,吐納百萬呼吸
I could shed another million tears, a million breaths,
在百萬浮名中,只留下唯一的真理
A million names but only one truth to face
百萬條道路,萬分恐懼
百萬個太陽,百萬遙遙無期
A million roads, a million fears
我能編造百萬個謊,吟唱百萬頌歌
A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty
百萬個真理,百萬個荒謬存於時間的平衡裡
I could speak a million lies, a million songs,
但倘若這世上有唯一的真理,唯一的光芒
A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time
唯一的思想,以及觸摸之下的優雅
But if there was a single truth, a single light
然後沿著唯一的起點,唯一的火焰
A single thought, a singular touch of grace
這唯一的思念,糾纏縈繞你的臉
Then following this single point, this single flame,
我依然愛著你
The single haunted memory of your face
我依然眷戀著你
I still love you
千萬次,解開謎團的身影
I still want you
如腦際河漢充盈
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
我曾分身無數,我曾懵懂無辜
Like galaxies in my head
我曾知曉千萬,我曾一無所知
或於君王左右,開拓疆土
I may be numberless, I may be innocent
或在紙牌間贏得世界,又任世界於指縫滑落
I may know many things, I may be ignorant
或是渺小砲灰,毀滅千次
Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands
或為命運之子,定奪他人罪孽
Or win this world at cards and let itslip my hands
或披上朝聖者的盛裝,或化身盜竊庸氓
I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times
我只留下唯一的,唯一的信念
Reborn as fortunes child to judge anothers crimes
我依然愛著你
Or wear this pilgrims cloak, or be a common thief
我依然眷戀著你
Ive kept this single faith, I have but one belief
千次謎團落定的身影
I still love you
如同腦際漢河充盈
I still want you
綿綿無盡,謎團之後的身影
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
來世依然茫茫無知
Like galaxies in my head
直到你愛上我為止
On and on the mysteries unwind themselves
Eternities still unsaid
Til you love me
