They used to think the swallows were living under water 他们曾经以为燕子是生活在水中

All through the winter when they were missing from the trees 全部通过时，被从树上缺少过冬

They used to think the geese budded from the branches 他们曾经认为从树枝发芽的鹅

Each gentle sunny spring when they came back again 每一个温柔的阳光明媚的春天时，他们又回来了

But the swallows and the geese, they have always heard 但燕子和大雁，他们总是听到

The ringing of the bells that echo through the earth 钟声穿过地球的呼应铃声

   

The monarch butterflies in their cloud of orange wings 君主蝴蝶在他们的云橙色的翅膀

And all the golden eels swimming through the sea 和所有的黄金鳗游过大海

They are following a path to places never seen 他们是跟随路径的地方从来没见过

They see the secret map the moon draws on the sea 他们看到的秘密地图的绘制月球上的海

The butterflies and eels, they have always heard 蝴蝶鱼和鳗鱼，他们一直听到

The ringing of the bells that echo through the earth 钟声穿过地球的呼应铃声

   

But the airplanes overhead hang heavy in the air 但飞机架空吊重于空气

And all the shiny cars, they circle in despair 和所有的闪亮的汽车，他们在绝望中圈

“Where am I?” They cry. “Where are you? Where am I?” “我在哪里？ ”他们哭了。 “你在哪里？我在哪里？ “

But they will never hear the bells that ring tonight 但他们将永远不会听到今晚敲响的钟声
