In the town of Sarajevo, there's an old medieval square 在萨拉热窝的小镇，有一个古老的中世纪广场

There's a church aside one corner most believe was always there 有一个教堂预留一个角落，大多数人相信总是有

   

It was built a thousand years before any now were born 它内置了千年之前的任何现在出生

And its glory was its belfry with its stones all gray... and worn 和它的辉煌是它的钟楼，其所有的石头灰...和穿

   

Now there's a gargoyle on that belfry and he's been up there for years 现在有上钟楼石像鬼，他一直在那里好几年

And he has watched and he has pondered: "What is laughter, what are tears?" 他看过，他一直思索：“什么是笑，什么是眼泪”

   

And he's never found his answers as he sees the years go by 而且他从来没有发现他的答案，因为他看到了岁月的流逝

But he watches and he wonders with his stone unblinking eyes 但是他的手表，他想知道，他的石头眼睛一眨不眨

   

IT WAS THE YEAR OF NINETEEN-NINETY 这是十九，九十一年

AND THE BERLIN WALL WAS DOWN 和柏林墙下

AND A THOUSAND YEARS REGRETTED 和一千年没有后悔

NOW LAID BURIED IN THE GROUND 现在制定埋在地下

   

AND THE PROPHETS READ THE FUTURE 和先知看了以后

AND THE OMENS ALL SEEMED KIND 和预兆都显得种类
