We dared to ask for more 我们不敢要求更多

But that was long before the nights began to burn 但是，这是很长的夜晚开始燃烧前

You would have thought we'd learned 你会想到我们会学到

You can't make promises all based upon tomorrow 所有基于明天在你无法做出承诺

Happiness, security are words we only borrowed 幸福，安全的话，我们只是借用

For is this the answer to our prayers, is this was God has sent? 对于这样的答案，我们的祈祷，这是被神差遣？

Please understand this isn't what we meant 请理解这是不是我们的意思

   

The future couldn't last, we nailed it to the past 未来有可能不会持续太久，我们钉它过去

With every word a trap that no one can take 随着每一个字一个陷阱，没有人可以

Back from all the architects who find their towers leaning 返回所有谁找到他们的塔楼倚建筑师

And every prayer we pray at night has somehow lost its meaning 我们祈祷，晚上每个礼拜莫名其妙地失去了它的意义

For is this the answer to our prayers, is this was God has sent? 对于这样的答案，我们的祈祷，这是被神差遣？

Please understand this isn't what we meant 请理解这是不是我们的意思

THEN HE CLIMBED ATOP THE RUBBLE 然后，他爬上头顶上的瓦砾

OF THE FOUNTAIN IN THE SQUARE 在广场的喷泉

AND HE TOOK HIS CELLO OUT 而他带着他的大提琴OUT

IN THE COLD NOVEMBER AIR 在寒冷的十一月空气

   

AND AS THE TWILIGHT STARTED SETTING 正如暮色开始设置

ON THE REMNANTS OF THIS DAY 在这一天的残余

AS THE SHELLS BEGAN TO FALL 像炮弹开始下降

THE OLD MAN BEGAN TO PLAY 老头就开始玩

   

AND IN THE DARKNESS OF THAT NIGHT 而在这夜的黑暗

EACH ON THEIR OWN RESPECTIVE SIDES 每个他们自己的各个侧面

THE MUSLIM AND THE SERB 穆斯林与塞尔维亚

WOULD WATCH THEIR COUNTRY'S SUICIDE 会看自己国家的自杀

   

BUT NOW INSIDE EACH EVENING 但现在在每个夜

THEY HAD FOUND A MOMENT'S CALM 他们已经发现了片刻平静

WHEN THEY'D HEAR THE THOUGHTS OF MOZART 时，他们会听到莫扎特的思考

AS THEY FILTERED THROUGH THE BOMBS 因为他们滤过炸弹
