Long ago
很久以前
There was a bird who sang but just once in her life
有一只鸟儿一生只歌唱一次
From the moment she left the nest
从她离开家的那一刻起
She searched the longest leaf for a thorn tree
她在最长的叶子上寻找一棵荆棘树
Never resting until she found one
她从未休息直到她找到一个
Then she began to sing
然后她开始唱歌
More sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth
比地球上任何生物都更加甜美
But carry away in the rapturous honor song
在这令人沉醉的荣耀之歌里
She impaled herself on the longest sharpest thorn
她把自己刺在最长最锋利的荆棘上
As she was dying
当她奄奄一息时
She rose above her own agony to out-sing
她克服了自己的痛苦放声歌唱
Even the lark and the nightingale
即使是百灵鸟和夜莺
The thorn bird traded her life for that one song and
荆棘鸟用她的生命换取那一首歌
The whole world was captured to listen
全世界都侧耳倾听
And God in his heaven smiles
上帝在天堂微笑
As her very best was brought out
当她展现出最好的一面时
Only of the cost of great pain
只有承受巨大痛苦的代价
Driven by the thorn with no fear for her death to come
被荆棘驱使毫不畏惧死亡的降临
But when we push the thorn into our breast
但当我们把刺扎进自己的胸膛
We know
我们知道
We understand
我们明白
And still we choose the pain of the thorn
可我们还是选择了痛苦
