Soft Black Stars

Little children snuggle under soft black stars
孩子們偎依在柔和的黑星下
And if you look into their eyes-- soft black stars
如果你凝視著他們眼裡柔和的黑星
Deliver them from the book and the letter and the word
就不會用書、信和詞語來拯救他們
And let them read the silence bathed in soft black stars
讓他們傾聽那浴於柔和黑星之下的靜默
Let them trace the raindrops under soft black stars
讓他們追尋那柔和黑星之下的點點雨滴
Let them follow whispers and scare away the night
讓他們親吻柔和黑星的纖柔氣息
Let them kiss the featherbreath of soft black stars
且讓他們騎上風雪輕輕拍打的馬兒
And let them ride their horsies licked by the wind and the snow
踏入那個我們終將去往的黎明
And tip-toe into twilight where we all one day will go
讓卷鬚來輕撫
Caressed with tendrils and with no fear at all
抹去他們所有的恐懼
Their faces shining river-gold brushed with soft black stars
他們的臉龐被柔和的黑星洗濯
And angels' wings shall soothe their cares
天使的羽翼將撫平他們的憂愁
And all the birds shall sing at dawn
所有的小鳥兒將在黎明里歌唱
Blessed and wet with joy
他們得到了賜福
You and I will meet one day
而你我終有一日會相遇
Under a nightsky lit by soft black stars
在柔和黑星所照亮的夜空之下
