How Can I Keep From Singing

My life goes on in endless song
我生活在一個充滿歌聲的環境之中
above earth's lamentations,
超越這個世界的哀嘆之上
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
我聽見了真實的讚歌，儘管有些遙遠
that hails a new creation.
這是一個全新的創造
Through all the tumult and the strife
在所有的混亂和衝突當中
I hear it's music ringing,
我聽見有音樂響起
it sounds an echo in my soul.
這聽起來像是我靈魂深處的迴響
How can I keep from singing?
我怎能停止歌唱？
While though the tempest loudly roars,
即使暴風在大聲咆哮著
I hear the truth, it liveth.
我依然聽見了真理的聲音
And though the darkness 'round me close,
儘管黑暗籠罩著我
songs in the night it giveth.
但我依然在夜裡給人們帶去歌聲
No storm can shake my inmost calm,
沒有任何事物能夠撼動我內心的那份平靜
while to that rock I'm clinging.
我就像岩石般堅韌頑強
Since love is lord of heaven and earth
因為愛是世間最偉大的事物
how can I keep from singing?
所以我怎能停止歌唱？
lalalalalala......
When tyrants tremble in their fear
當暴君在恐懼中瑟縮
and hear their death knell ringing,
因為他們的喪鐘已經敲響
when friends rejoice both far and near
當遠近的友人們一同歡樂的時候
how can I keep from singing?
我怎能停止歌唱
In prison cell and dungeon vile
哪怕在監禁和牢獄之中
our thoughts to them are winging,
我們的想法也會像天使的翅膀一般
when friends by shame are undefiled
要讓朋友們不會蒙受恥辱
how can I keep from singing?
我怎能停止歌唱？
lalalalalala......
