The Greatest Show on Earth - Nightwish (夜愿)

Archaean horizon

太古时代的地平线

The first sunrise

最初的黎明

On a pristine gaea

照射着原始的大地女神

Opus perfectum

神工鬼斧

Somewhere there us sleeping

我们仍在某个地方沉睡

After sleeping through a hundred

经历了上百亿年的沉睡

Million centuries we have

我们最终在这颗绚丽的行星上苏醒过来

Finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet

被赋予色彩的闪耀

Sparkling with color bountiful with life

和生命的富饶

Within decades we must close our eyes again

然而在数十年之内 我们终将再度闭上双眼

Isn't it a noble and enlightened

在太阳下 将我们短暂的一生投入到探索宇宙万物

Way of spending our brief time

追问存在之意义

In the sun to work at understanding

难道这不是

The universe and how we have come to wake up in it

高雅而开明的生活方式吗

The cosmic law of gravity

宇宙间的万有引力定律

Pulled the newborns around a fire

在燃烧中创造新生

A careless cold infinity in every vast direction

每一个无限延伸的方向 无情而冰冷

Lonely farer in the goldilocks zone

宜居带内 旅者孤独前行

She has a tale to tell

她要讲述一段传奇

From the stellar nursery into a carbon feast

从孕育恒星的摇篮 到碳基物质的宴席

Enter luca

生命始祖诞生

The tapestry of chemistry

化学反应编织出生命

There's a writing in the garden

花园里书写的字句

Leading us to the mother of all

引导我们寻根溯源

We are one

我们是一体的

We are a universe

我们是整个宇宙

Forebears of what will be

孕育着未来

Scions of the devonian sea

泥盆纪汪洋中的后代

Aeons pass

世代变迁

Writing the tale of us all

遗留下我们的传奇

A day to day new opening

日复一日开启新的篇章

For the greatest show on earth

致以地球上最伟大的剧场

Ion channels welcoming the outside world

离子通道迎接着外部世界

To the stuff of stars

通向恒星的构成物

Bedding the tree of a biological holy

种下神圣的生命之树

Enter life

生命由此生长

The tapestry of chemistry

化学反应编织出生命

There's a writing in the garden

花园里书写的字句

Leading us to the mother of all

引导我们寻根溯源

We are one

我们是一体的

We are a universe

我们是整个宇宙

Forebears of what will be

孕育着未来

Scions of the devonian sea

泥盆纪汪洋中的后代

Aeons pass

世代变迁

Writing the tale of us all

遗留下我们的传奇

A day to day new opening

日复一日开启新的篇章

For the greatest show on earth

致以地球上最伟大的剧场

We are here to care for the garden

我们到这来 悉心守护花园

The wonder of birth

这一创生的奇迹

Of every form most beautiful

世间美丽之最

We are one

我们是一体的

We are a universe

我们是整个宇宙

Forebears of what will be

孕育着未来

Scions of the devonian sea

泥盆纪汪洋中的后代

Aeons pass writing the tale of us all

A day to day new opening

For the greatest show on earth

After a billion years

The show is still here

Not a single one of your fathers died young

The handy travelers

Out of Africa

Little Lucy of the afar

Gave birth to fantasy

To idolatry

To self destructive weaponry

Enter the god of gaps

Deep within the past

Atavistic dread of the hunted

Enter ionia the cradle of thought

The architecture of understanding

The human lust to feel so exceptional

To rule the earth

Hunger for shiny rocks

For giant mushroom clouds

The will to do just as you'd be done by

Enter history the grand finale

Enter ratkind

Man he took his time in the sun

Had a dream to understand

A single grain of sand

He gave birth to poetry

But one day'll cease to be

Greet the last light of the library

Man he took his time in the sun

Had a dream to understand

A single grain of sand

He gave birth to poetry

But one day'll cease to be

Greet the last light of the library

Man he took his time in the sun

Had a dream to understand

A single grain of sand

He gave birth to poetry

But one day'll cease to be

Greet the last light of the library

We were here

We were here

We were here

We were here

We are going to die and that makes us

The lucky ones most people are never

Going to die because they are never

Going to be born the potential people

Who could have been here in my place

But who will in fact never see

The light of day outnumber the sand

Grains of sahara certainly those

Unborn ghosts include greater poets

Than Keats scientists greater than Newton

We know this because the set of possible

People allowed by our DNA so massively

Exceeds the set of actual people

In the teeth of those stupefying

Odds it is you and I in our ordinariness

That are here we privileged few

Who won the lottery of birth against all odds

How dare we whine at our

Inevitable return to that prior

State from which the vast majority have never stirred

There is grandeur in this view of life

With its several powers

Having been originally breathed

Into a few forms or into one

And that whilst this planet

Has gone cycling on according

To the fixed law of gravity

From so simple a beginning

Endless forms most beautiful

And most wonderful have been

And are being evolved

永不止息
