迷失在文明中而忘却自然了吗?
来听听这首歌吧。
Colours Of The Wind
风的颜色
You think you own whatever land you land on
你以为你能踏上的土地就是你的土地
Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
以为大地只是能够随意索取的没有生命之物
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
但我知道,每块石头,每棵树,每个生物都有生命,都有灵魂,都有名字
You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
你以为和你有着同样面孔与思维的生物才叫人类
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
如果你跟随陌生人的足迹
You learn things you never knew
你会学到你以前不知道的东西
You never knew
Have you ever heard the wolf cry
to the blue corn moon?
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon ?
你有没有听到野狼在冲着蔚蓝天空的月亮哭嚎叫?
Or ask the grinning bobcat why he grinned
去问那山猫吧,问它为何神秘微笑
Can you sing with all the voices
of the mountains?
你可以应和那山谷幽幽的回音吗
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
你可以用风的色彩绘画吗?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
你可以吗?
come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
快来森林里那些隐藏在松树下的小径奔跑吧;
Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth
快来品尝大地赐予的充满阳光甜味的野蓝莓;
Come roll in all the riches all around you
来吧,尽情舞蹈在这美丽的富饶之中;
And for once never wonder what they're worth
而这一次别去想他们值多少。
The rainstorm and the rivers are my brothers
暴风雨和河流是我的兄弟
And the heron and the otter are my friends
苍鹭和水獭是我的朋友
And we are all connected to each other
我们彼此相连,紧紧相依,
In a circle in a hoop that never ends
自然的轨迹,生生不息
How high does the sycamore grow
If you cut it down, then you'll never know
如果你砍倒美国梧桐,
你就永远也不会知道它能长多高
And you'll never hear the wolf cry
To the blue corn moon
也不会听到野狼在冲着蔚蓝天空的月亮哭嚎叫。
For whether we are white or copper-skinned
无论我们的皮肤是白色还是黄色
We need to sing with
All the voices of the mountains
To paint with all the colors of the wind
我们都需要能应和那山谷幽幽的回音
能用风的色彩绘画
You can own the Earth
And still all you'll own is earth
Until you can paint with
All the colors of the wind
你可以拥有这块土地
不过你所拥有的仅仅是泥土
除非你会用风的色彩来绘画
