很喜歡這首歌的歌詞,翻譯不好,請多包涵。
Send some rain, would You send some rain?
'Cause the earth is dry and needs to drink again
And the sun is high and we are sinking in the shade
Would You send a cloud, thunder long and loud?
Let the sky grow black and send some mercy down
Surely You can see that we are thirsty and afraid
But maybe not, not today
Maybe You'll provide in other ways
And if that's the case ...
賜點雨吧,你可否賜點雨水?
因為大地乾渴,需要喝點水,
也因烈日當空,我們就要在樹蔭下消沈。
你可否差來一片雲,差來雷聲悠遠壯大?
讓天色轉暗,並賜下憐憫吧。
當然,你知道我們又餓又怕,
但也許沒有,也許不是今天,
也許你會以其他方式來供應,
那麼,如果情況是這樣的話…
We'll give thanks to You with gratitude
For lessons learned in how to thirst for You
How to bless the very sun that warms our face
If You never send us rain
我們會謝謝你,帶著感激之情,
因為我們已經學會如何渴慕你,
學會讚美太陽如何地溫暖臉龐,
就算你從來沒有為我們降下雨。
Daily bread, give us daily bread
Bless our bodies, keep our children fed
Fill our cups, then fill them up again tonight
Wrap us up and warm us through
Tucked away beneath our sturdy roofs
Let us slumber safe from danger's view this time
Or maybe not, not today
Maybe You'll provide in other ways
And if that's the case ...
每日的飲食,求你賜下每日的飲食,
祝福我們身體,保佑孩子們得飽足,
注滿我們的杯,求今晚福杯再注滿,
裹好我們,讓我們整晚都感到溫暖,
讓我們安然居住在堅固的屋頂之下,
這一次,就讓我們安睡並離了危險,
抑或,不是這一次,並不是在今天,
也許你將會用其他方式來供應我們,
那麼,如果情況是這個樣子的話...
We'll give thanks to You with gratitude
A lesson learned to hunger after You
That a starry sky offers a better view
If no roof is overhead
And if we never taste that bread
我們會謝謝你,帶著感激之情,
因為學習渴慕你時,我們瞭解:
星夜是更好的景致,
如果我們少了屋頂。
還有,就算我們未曾嚐到所求的飲食。
Oh, the differences that often are between
Everything we want and what we really need
在我們想要和我們真正需要之間,
噢!常常都是天差地別!
So grant us peace, Jesus, grant us peace
Move our hearts to hear a single beat
Between alibis and enemies tonight
Or maybe not, not today
Peace might be another world away
And if that's the case ...
所以,應允我們平安,
主阿,應允我們平安,
今晚,在推諉藉口與仇敵之間,
感動我們的心去聆聽任何一拍,
也許不是,不是今天,
平安可能離我們好遠,
那麼,如果這樣的話...
We'll give thanks to You with gratitude
For lessons learned in how to trust in You
That we are blessd beyond what we could ever dream
In abundance or in need
And if You never grant us peace ...
But, Jesus, would You please ...
我們會謝謝你,滿心感謝你,
因為在學習信靠你的過程裡,
知道不管是富足,還是不足,
我們蒙受祝福已經超過夢想,
就算,你從未應允我們平安...
但,主耶穌阿,祈求你能...
