The fishing boats go out across the evening water 渔船出去过，晚上水

Smuggling guns and arms across the Spanish border 横跨西班牙边境走私枪支和武器

The wind whips up the waves so loud 风卷起的海浪这么大声

The ghost moon sails among the clouds 云中的月亮鬼帆

Turns the rifles into silver on the border 打开步枪变成银色的边框

   

On my wall the colours of the maps are running 在我的墙上地图的颜色正在运行

From Africa the winds they talk of changes coming 来自非洲风他们谈论的变化来

The torches flare up in the night 火炬火炬在夜间

The hand that sets the farms alight 手上那台农场下车

Has spread the word to those who're waiting on the border 一直流传着一句话那些谁正在等待边境

   

In the village where I grew up 在我成长的村庄

Nothing seems the same 似乎没有任何相同

Still you never see the change from day to day 还是你永远也看不到的变化每天都在

And no-one notices the customs slip away 也没有人注意到海关溜走

   

Late last night the rain was knocking at my window 昨晚的大雨也敲我窗

I moved across the darkened room and in the lampglow 我把整个黑暗的房间，并在lampglow

I thought I saw down in the street 我想我在街上看见倒

The spirit of the century 本世纪的精神

Telling us that we're all standing on the border 告诉我们，我们都站在边界

   

In the islands where I grew up 在我成长的岛屿

Nothing seems the same 似乎没有任何相同

It's just the patterns that remain 这只是保持模式

An empty shell 空壳

But there's a strangeness in the air you feel too well 不过，有一个在空中奇异感觉太好

   

The fishing boats go out across the evening water 渔船出去过，晚上水

Smuggling guns and arms across the Spanish border 横跨西班牙边境走私枪支和武器

The wind whips up the waves so loud 风卷起的海浪这么大声

The ghost moon sails among the clouds 云中的月亮鬼帆

Turns the rifles into silver on the border 打开步枪变成银色的边框

   

On the border 在边界

On the border 在边界

On the border 在边界
