When Martin Died

When it was announced that Martin Luther King had been killed,
宣布马丁·路德金遇刺身亡的那天
I think every black person just froze in their tracks,
我想 每个黑人都一下子失掉了神
and in their minds,
在他们心里
they were saying "Where we go from here?"
一定在说着“我该何去何从？”
It gave you joy just to hear him quote the sentence "I have a dream."
听他谈及“我有一个梦想”时会带来欢笑
It did something to your whole body.
那会使你深刻感受到某些东西
Just went from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet,
是种从头到脚的震撼 贯穿全身
and you would say "This is Martin Luther King;
而你会说“快看！这是马丁·路德金”
he's speaking,and we have to sit down and listen and enjoy what he's saying."
“他正在演讲，大家快坐好认真聆听 享受他的讲话”
And I'd love to see what you'd call a utopia.
我向往你每每谈及所谓的乌托邦
Everybody getting along in peace,joy,happiness.
那儿 所有人和平相处 充满欢声笑语 到处洋溢着幸福
I'm sure fifty years from now,I won't be here to see it,
我坚信五十年后能看到此种景象 尽管我可能看不到了
but this would be my hope for my grandchildren and their children and their children to come,
但这将是我对我宝贝孙子孙女和他们的后代们的美好愿望以及祝福
and we just pray that God will continue to bless.
祈求上帝继续保佑着我们
Learn to love,love,love each other,regardless of the situation
教人们如何去欣赏 爱护 拥抱彼此 无论何时 无论何地
