Bette Midler《From A Distance》 (在远方)
《From A Distance》 (在远方)
演唱：Bette Midler（贝特·迈德尔）
From a distance the world looks blue and green,
and the snow-capped mountains white.
From a distance the ocean meets the stream,
and the eagle takes to flight.
From a distance, there is harmony,
and it echoes through the land.
It's the voice of hope, is the voice of peace,
it's the voice of every man.
From a distance we all have enough,
and no one is in need.
And there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease,
no hungry mouths to feed.
From a distance we are instruments
marching in a common band.
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace.
They are the songs of every man.
God is watching us. God is watching us.
God is watching us from a distance.
From a distance you look like my friend,
even though we are at war.
From a distance I just cannot comprehend
what all this fighting is for.
From a distance there is harmony,
and it echoes through the land.
And it's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves,
it's the heart of every man.
It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves.
This is the song of every man.
And God is watching us, God is watching us,
God is watching us from a distance.
Oh, God is watching us, God is watching.
God is watching us from a distance.
中英文歌词：
From A Distance 在远方
From a distance the world looks blue and green
在远方，世界蓝色而暗淡
and the snow-capped mountains white
白雪覆盖山顶
From a distance the ocean meets the stream
在远方，百川汇入大海
and the eagle takes to flight
苍鹰展翅高飞
From a distance, there is harmony
在远方，聆听天籁
and it echoes through the land
回响大地
It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace
那是希望之音，那是和平之声
it's the voice of every man
那是每个人的声音
From a distance we all have enough
在远方，我们都很满足
and no one is in need
人无欲求
And there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease
没有枪，没有炮弹，没有疾病
no hungry mouths to feed
没有嗷嗷待哺的嘴巴
From a distance we are instruments
在远方，我们是乐器
marching in a common band
共鸣于同一乐队
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace
演奏那希望之音，演奏那和平之声
They're the songs of every man
每个人的声音
God is watching us. God is watching us
上帝在注视我们，上帝在注视我们
God is watching us from a distance
上帝在远处注视着我们
From a distance you look like my friend
在远方，我们好似朋友
even though we are at war
尽管我们身处战争
From a distance I just cannot comprehend
在远方，我无法理解
what all this fighting is for
我们到底为何而战
From a distance there is harmony
在远方，聆听天籁
and it echoes through the land
回响大地
And it's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves
那是希望之音，那是爱之所爱
it's the heart of every man
每个人的声音
It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves
那是希望之音，那是爱之所爱
This is the song of every man
