Down among the reeds and rushes 倒的芦苇和蒲草间

A baby boy was found 一名男婴被发现

His eyes as clear as centuries 他的眼睛，清澈如几个世纪

His silky hair was brown 他柔滑的头发是褐色的

   

Never been lonely 绝不寂寞

Never been lied to 千万不要被欺骗，

Never had to scuffle in fear 从未有过的恐惧扭打

Nothing denied to 没有否认

Born at the instant 出生在瞬间

The church bells chime 教堂的钟声

And the whole world whispering 和整个世界窃窃私语

Born at the right time 出生在正确的时间

   

Me and my buddies we are travelling people 我和我的哥们我们旅行的人

We like to go down to restaurant row 我们要深入到餐厅行

Spend those Euro-dollars 花那些欧洲美元

All the way from Washington to Tokyo 一路从华盛顿到东京

I see them in the airport lounge 我看到他们在机场休息室

Upon their mother's breast 在他们母亲的乳房

They follow me with open eyes 他们也跟着我睁着眼睛

Their uninvited guest 他们的不速之客

   

Never been lonely 绝不寂寞

Never been lied to 千万不要被欺骗，

Never had to scuffle in fear 从未有过的恐惧扭打

Nothing denied to 没有否认

Born at the instant 出生在瞬间

The church bells chime 教堂的钟声

And the whole world whispering 和整个世界窃窃私语

Born at the right time 出生在正确的时间

   

Too many people on the bus from the airport 太多的人上车从机场

Too many holes in the crust of the earth 太多的漏洞在地球的地壳

The planet groans 这颗行星的呻吟声

Every time it registers another birth 每当它注册的另一个出生

   

But among the reeds and rushes 但是，蒹葭之中

A baby girl was found 一名女婴被发现

Her eyes as clear as centuries 她的眼睛，清澈如几个世纪

Her silky hair was brown 她柔滑的头发是褐色的

   

Never been lonely 绝不寂寞

Never been lied to 千万不要被欺骗，

Never had to scuffle in fear 从未有过的恐惧扭打

Nothing denied to 没有否认

Born at the instant 出生在瞬间

The church bells chime 教堂的钟声

And the whole world whispering 和整个世界窃窃私语

Born at the right time 出生在正确的时间
