When the shells had ceased their falling 当炮弹已经停止他们的下落

The young muslim and the serb 这位年轻的穆斯林和塞尔维亚

Listened for the old man's music 听了老人的音乐

But now not a note was heard 但现在不是一个音符传来

   

And fearing what had happened 并担心发生了什么事

Each did, what should not be dared 每个做，什么不该敢

And made their way through no man's land 并通过无人区作出自己的方式

To the old medieval square 旧的中世纪广场

   

They arrived at the same moment 他们到达同一时刻

In the cold december air 在寒冷的十二月空气

But neither pulled a weapon 但无论是拉武器

For each knew why they were there 对于每一个知道他们为什么在那里

   

And they walked over to the fountain 他们走到喷泉

And found him laying there in death ，发现他躺在那儿死亡

There was blood upon his face 有在他脸上的血

The smashed cello on his chest 在他的胸口砸了大提琴

   

But then a single drop of liquid 液体但是一滴

Fell from out the cloudless sky 从出了万里无云的天空下跌

And it fell upon the cheek 它落在脸颊

Of the man who had just died 该名男子是谁刚刚去世

   

And the soldier felt a shudder 和士兵感到不寒而栗

For the worst had come he feared 作最坏的来意，他担心

When the only sing of pity 当只可惜唱的

Was a single gargoyle's tear 是一个石像鬼的泪

   

He turned to the young woman 他转向年轻女子

And he said let's leave this war 他说，让我们离开这个战争

But a soldier and his uniform 不过，一名士兵和他的制服

Was all that she now saw 是所有的，她现在看见
