Colors of the wind

Colors of the wind-風之彩(風的顏色)    Vanessa Williams-凡妮莎威廉斯

You think you own whatever land you land on

The earth is just a dead thing you can claim

But I know every rock and tree and creature

Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

你認為可以擁有你踏上的任何一塊土地(別以為你己佔有這塊地方)

也認為這大地只是沒有命的權利標的

但我知道每一塊岩石、每一棵樹甚至任何萬物

都有生命、靈魂和名字

You think the only people who are people

Are the people who look and think like you?

But if you walk the footsteps of the stranger

You'll learn things you never knew you never knew

你認為真正的人類(別以為你是人中人,可知天外有天,人外有人)

是外表、想法和你一樣的人                   

但如果你跟隨陌生人在地人的腳步

你可以學到從來不知道的事

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon?

Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?

Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?

Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

你可曾聽過狼對著玉米收成季時的滿月嗥叫

或可曾問過微笑的山貓為何而笑

你能否隨著群山的聲音歌唱

你能否用風的顏色來作畫

你能否用風的顏色來作畫

Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest

Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth

Come roll in all the riches all around you

And for once, never wonder what they're worth

到森林裡那些隱藏在松樹下的小徑奔跑

品嚐大地上充滿陽光甜味的野莓

在你身邊豐饒的大自然中打滾

絕對不要懷疑它們的價值  就這一次

The rainstorm and the river are my brothers

The heron and the otter are my friends

And we are all connected to each other

In a circle, in a hoop that never ends

暴雨和河流是我的兄

蒼鷺和水獺是我的朋友

我們彼此心手相連

連成一個無盡的圓

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon?

Or let the eagle tell you where he’s been?

Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?

Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

你可曾聽過狼對著玉米收成季時的滿月嗥叫

或讓老鷹告訴你牠去過的地方

你能否隨著群山的聲音歌唱

你能否用風的顏色來作畫

你能否用風的顏色來作畫

How high does the sycamore grow?

If you cut it down, then you'll never know

And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon

For whether we are white or copper-skinned

We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain

楓樹能長到多高 

如果你砍倒它，那你永遠無法知道

你將永遠聽不見狼對著藍月嗥叫的聲音

不論我們的膚色是白色或古銅色

我們應該隨著群山的聲音歌唱

We need to paint with all the colors of the wind 

You can own the earth and still

All you'll own is earth until

You can paint with all the colors of the wind

我們應該用風的顏色來畫畫

你可以擁有大地 

而你擁有的全部就是大地     我親眼看見的

只要你能用風的顏色來
