I discovered the Valley of the Shifting, Whispering Sands 我发现了转移，花落金沙谷

While prospecting in a western state 虽然勘探在西方国家

I saw the silent windmills, the crumbling water tanks 我看见无声的风车，摇摇欲坠的水箱

The bones of the cattle picked clean by buzzards 最牛的骨头被秃鹰捡干净

Bleached by the desert sun 被沙漠太阳漂白

I stumbled over a crumbling buck board 我偶然在一个摇摇欲坠的降压板

Nearly covered by the sand 几乎覆盖的砂

And stopping to rest I heard a tinkling, whispering sound 而停下来休息，我听到一个清脆，嘁

And suddenly realized that even though the wind was quiet 突然意识到，即使风很安静

The sand did not lie still 沙没骗仍然

I seemed to be surrounded be a mystery 我似乎被包围是一个谜

So heavy and apperceive I could scarcely breath 如此沉重和感知，我几乎无法呼吸

For weeks I wondered aimlessly in the valley 几个星期以来我在山谷中漫无目的的怀疑

Seeking answers to the many questions that raced through my mind 寻求答案的很多问题，通过我的脑海赛跑

Where was everyone? Why the white bones? The dry wells? 哪里是大家？为什么白色的骨头？干井？

The barren valley where people must have lived and died 荒芜的山谷里的人一定是生活和死亡

I sat down and buried my face in my hands 我坐下来，埋葬了我的脸在我手中

And resting I learned the secret of the Shifting, Whispering Sands 和休息我学会的移位，花落金沙的秘密

How I managed to escape from the valley I don't know 我该如何管理从山谷逃出我不知道

But now to pay my debt for being saved 但现在支付我的债务被保存

I must tell you what I learned out on the desert 我必须告诉你，我学到了在沙漠

So many years ago 因此，许多年前

   

When the day is oddly quiet 当这一天是奇怪地安静

And the breeze seems not to blow 微风似乎不吹

One would think the sun is resting 人们会认为太阳是静止

But you'll find this is not so 但你会发现，事实并非如此

   

It is whispering softly whispering 这是轻声低语呢喃

As it slowly moves along 因为它慢慢地一起移动

And for those who stop and listen 而对于那些谁停下来听

It will sing this mournful song 它会唱这首歌悲伤

   

Of sidewinders and the horn toads 响尾蛇和喇叭蟾蜍

On the thorny chaparral 在棘手的查帕拉尔

In the sunny days and moonlight lights 在阳光明媚的日子和月光灯

The lonely coyotes yell 孤独的狼大叫

   

How the stars seem they can touch you 如何星星似乎就可以触摸到你

As you lay and gaze on high 当你躺在那儿盯着高

At the heavens where your hoping 在天在您希望

You'll be going when you die 当你死了，你会去
