- We heard the fireworks
我们听见烟火
Rushed out to watch the sky,
看着它们冲上夜空
Happend go lucky, fourth of July
在独立日这天绽放
How can you live in the Northeast?
你难道只生活在东北区吗？
How can you live in the South?
你也不仅仅属于南方。
How can you build on the banks of a river
你岂能在河床上盖起楼房
When the flood water pours from the mouth?
当洪流从河口奔涌而出
How can you be a Christian?
你难道只是一个基督徒
How can you be a Jew?
或者是一个犹太教徒
How can you be a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Hindu?
一个、佛教徒，或印度教徒
How can you?
你不是
Weak as the winter sun, we enter life on earth.
我们在地球上降生，虚弱得如同冬季的阳光
Names and religion comes just after date of birth.
刚出生就会获得姓名和信仰
Then everybody gets a tongue to speak,
随后学会说话
And everyone hears an inner voice,
在礼拜的最后一天
A day at the end of the week to wonder and rejoice.
每个人都会听到内心疑惑或是欣喜的声音
If the answer is infinite light
如果这答案是无限的光芒
Why do we sleep in the dark?
为什么我们沉睡于黑暗之中
How can you live in the Northeast?
你难道只生活在东北区
How can you live in the South?
你也不仅仅属于南方。
How can you build on the banks of a river
你岂能在河床上盖起楼房
When the flood water pours from the mouth?
当洪流从河口奔涌而出
How can you tattoo your body?
你何必在自己的躯体上纹身
Why do you cover your head?
遮掩自己的本性
How can you eat from a rice bowl
你怎能安心地进食
The holy man only breaks bread?
而圣人吃的仅仅是面包屑
We watched the fireworks 'till they were fireflies.
我们看着烟火渐渐熄灭
Followed a path of stars over the endless skies.
随星光消失在无边的天际
How can you live in the Northeast?
你难道只生活在东北区吗？
How can you live in the South?
你也不仅仅属于南方
How can you build on the banks of a river
你岂能在河床上盖起楼房
When the flood water pours from the mouth?
当洪流从河口奔涌而出
I've been given all I wanted,
这片土地赐予我渴求的一切
Only three generations off the boat.
从祖父靠岸以来，仅仅过去了三代
I've harvested and I've planted.
我在这里收获，我也在这里播种。
I'm wearing my father's old coat.
我至今还穿着父亲的旧大衣。
