He came dancing across the water 他来跳舞一水之隔

With his galleons and guns 随着他的大帆船和枪支

Looking for a new world 寻找一个新的世界

A palace in the sun 在太阳宫殿

On the shore lay Montezuma 在岸边躺着蒙特祖马

With his cocoa leaves and pearls 随着他的可可叶和珍珠

In his halls he often wondered 在他的大厅，他经常在想，

The secrets of the worlds 世界的秘密

Oh and his subjects gathered round him 哦，和他的臣民围拢过来

Like leaves around a tree 就像在树上的叶子

In their clothes of many colors 在许多颜色的衣服

For the angry gods to see 对于愤怒的众神看

And the women all were beautiful 和所有的女性都美丽

And the men stood straight and strong 二人站得笔直强

They offered life in sacrifice 他们提供的生活牺牲

So that others could go on 这样其他人可以继续

   

Hate was just a legend 仇恨只是个传说

And war was never known 而战争是从来不知道

The people worked together 的人在一起工作

And they lifted many stones 他们提高了许多石头

They carried them to the flatlands 他们把石头的平地

And they died along the way 他们一路上死亡

They built up with their bare hands 他们建立了自己的双手

What we still cant build today 我们仍然不能今天建什么

And I know she’s living there 我知道她在那里生活

And she loves me to this day 她爱我这一天

I can still remember when 我还记得当

Or how I lost my way 或如何我失去了我的路
