High Hopes

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
地平線外是我們儿時居住的地方
In a world of magnets and miracles
那裡遍布磁力和奇蹟
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
我們的想法汪洋恣肆不著邊際
The ringing of the division bell had begun
那離別的鐘聲響起
Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
沿著長路和堤道孤獨行走
Do they still meet there by the Cut
他們還能在這匯交之地相遇嗎
There was a ragged band that followed our footsteps
我們身後的腳步像一條襤褸絲帶
Running before time took our dreams away
在夢想飛走之前我們不斷奔跑
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
那些遺留無數的生靈正嘗試將我們拽住
To a life consumed by slow decay
在逐漸的腐朽中耗完這一生
The grass was greener
這芳草萋萋
The light was brighter
這流光熠熠
With friends surrounded
這高朋滿座
The nights of wonder
這火樹銀花
Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
望穿我們身後崩壞之橋餘燼奄奄
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
轉眼一瞥，另一邊碧翠盈盈
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
邁步向前卻夢遊般倒退
Dragged by force of some inner tide
內心潮湧般的力量將自己牽引
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
那高遠的地方，旌旗飄搖
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
來到那夢想中迷離眩暈的世界
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
一直被慾望和野心拖累
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
永遠填不滿內心飢渴
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
疲累的雙眼失神的望著地平線
Though down this road we've been so many times
儘管這條路我們已走過多次
The grass was greener
這芳草萋萋
The light was brighter
這流光熠熠
The taste was sweeter
這津怡之甘
The nights of wonder
這火樹銀花
With friends surrounded
這高朋滿座
The dawn mist growing
這晨霧瀰漫
The water flowing
這不息之川
The endless river
這無盡之河
Forever and ever
這江河行地
