Some of them were dreamers 他们中的一些人梦想

Who were making plans and thinking of the future 谁是制定计划，并思考未来

With the energy of the innocent 用无辜的能量

They were gathering the tools 他们收集工具

They would need to make their journey back to nature 他们需要让自己的旅途回归自然

While the sand slipped through the opening 而砂通过开口溜

And their hands reached for the golden ring 并达成了金戒指的手

With their hearts they turned to each other's heart for refuge 在他们的心中，他们转向了对方的心脏避难

In the troubled years that came before the deluge 在困扰多年的洪水到来之前

   

Some of them knew pleasure 有些人知道快乐

And some of them knew pain 还有一些人知道痛

And for some of them it was only the moment that mattered 而对于一些人也只是要紧的时刻

And on the brave and crazy wings of youth 和青年的勇敢和疯狂的翅膀

They went flying around in the rain 他们就在雨中飞来飞去

And their feathers, once so fine, grew torn and tattered 和自己的羽毛，一旦做精，从小撕裂，破烂

And in the end they traded their tired wings 而在最后，他们交易的疲惫的翅膀

For the resignation that living brings 对于辞职的生活带来

And exchanged love's bright and fragile glow 并交换了爱的光明和脆弱的光芒

For the glitter and the rouge 对于闪光和胭脂

And in the moment they were swept before the deluge 而在当下，他们在洪水之前被横扫

   

Now let the music keep our spirits high 现在，让音乐使我们的精神高度

And let the buildings keep our children dry 让建筑让我们的孩子们干的

Let creation reveal it's secrets by and by 让创作揭示它的秘密，渐渐地，

When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky 当那是在我们失去了光线到达天空

   

Some of them were angry 他们中的一些人愤怒

By the magnitude of her fury in the final hour 她的愤怒在最后一小时的幅度
