Too Late for Prayin’

Too Late for Prayin' - Gordon Lightfoot

以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供

It was only yesterday

仿佛就在昨日

When I heard the teacher say

聆听师长谆谆教诲

Patiently one and two make three

耐心数算 一加二等于三

We were children you and me

你我曾是纯真孩童

Let us pray for the ones they call

让我们为当代孩童

The children of today

献上虔诚祈祷

Nothin' left but promises

唯余空洞诺言

Nothin' much is certain

世事难料皆无常

All we see is want and need across the board

满目尽是匮乏与渴望

Why thank you lord

主啊感恩您眷顾

We're livin' in the glory of your care

我们活在您的恩泽里

Skies of blue have all turned brown

湛蓝天空已蒙尘

To the sound of sighin'

叹息声此起彼伏

Lord abide let us stem the tide

求主垂怜 止息这

Of broken dreams

破碎梦想的浪潮

Sometimes you seem to tell us

有时你似乎在告诫我们

It's too late for prayin'

祈祷已为时太晚

See the ocean wild and blue

看那狂野蔚蓝的海洋

Think of all that's in her

想起她孕育的万物

She will not surrender to the likes of us

她本不会向我们屈服

But then she must

却终究难逃厄运

They tell us wise men tell us it's too late

智者说 一切都太迟了

For each child with eyes that smile

每个笑容纯真的孩童

There'll be ten more cryin'

又将有十个孩子在哭泣

Lord abide let us stem the time

主啊请与我们同在 让我们把握时光

Of helplessness

在这无助的时刻

But then I guess we're livin'

但我想我们仍在坚持活着

Is it too late for tryin'

现在努力是否已太迟

Nothin' here but grains of sand

眼前只剩沙粒般渺茫

Nothin' much worth savin'

没什么值得挽留

Guess we've all got problems of our own to bear

想必人人都有自己的重担要扛

And still we share

我们依然共同承担

Tomorrow could get better than today

明天或许会比今天更好

To the ones who've loved in vain

致那些徒然爱过的人

Will ya be beholden

你可愿铭记于心

Lord abide let us stem the tide

求主垂怜 止息这

Of broken dreams

破碎梦想的浪潮

Sometimes ya seem to tell us

有时你似乎在告诫我们

It's too late for prayin'

祈祷已为时太晚
