Lyrics by:Kendrew Lascelles
Composed by:Kendrew Lascelles
Once upon a time in the land of hushabye
很久很久以前在胡夏拜的土地上
Around about the wondrous days of yore
讲述着过去那些美好的日子
I came across a sort of box
我发现了一个箱子
Bound up with chains and locked with locks
被金链子束缚被锁上
And labelled kindly do not touch it's war
被贴上亲切的标签别碰这是战争
Decree was issued round about
法令在四周发布
All with a flourish and a shout
伴随着音乐和呐喊
And a gaily coloured mascot tripping lightly on before
一个色彩绚丽的吉祥物轻盈地走在面前
Don't fiddle with this deadly box or
不要摆弄这个致命的盒子
Break the chains or pick the locks
挣脱枷锁或是开锁
And please don't ever play about with war
请不要玩弄战争
Well the children understood
孩子们都明白
Children happen to be good
孩子们都是好孩子
They were just as good around the time of yaw
他们在偏航的时候也一样好
They didn't try to pick the locks
他们不会试图开锁
Or break into that deadly box
或是闯入那致命的牢笼
They never tried to play about with war
他们从来不想挑起战争
Mummies didn't either
木乃伊也没有
Sisters aunts grannies neither
姐姐阿姨奶奶都没有
Cause they were quiet and sweet
因为他们安静又甜蜜
And pretty in those wondrous days of yaw
在那些令人惊叹的日子里美丽动人
Well very much the same as now
和现在差不多
Not the ones to blame somehow
无论如何也不能怪别人
For opening up that deadly box of war
打开战争的致命盒子
But someone did
但有人做到了
Someone battered in the lid
有人在车盖上留下伤痕
And spilled the insides out across the floor
把里面的东西洒在地板上
A sort of bouncy bumpy ball made up
就像我编造的一个充满弹性的球
Of guns and flags and all the tears
枪炮旗帜还有泪水
And horror and the death that goes with war
恐惧与死亡伴随着战争
It bounced right out
反弹了
And went bashing all about
四处抨击
And bumping into everything and stored
不小心撞上了所有东西
And what was sad and most unfair is
最可悲最不公平的是
That it didn't seem to care who much it bumped
它似乎不在乎谁受了多大的伤害
Or why or what or for
不知道为什么不知道是什么原因
It bumped the children mainly
主要是对孩子的伤害
And I'll tell you this quite plainly
我会直截了当地告诉你
It bumps them every day and more and more
每天都会遇到越来越多的挫折
And leaves them dead and burned and dying
让他们痛不欲生饱受折磨奄奄一息
Thousands of them sick and crying
成千上万的人伤心落泪
Cause when it bumps it's really very sore
因为当我受伤时我真的很难受
Now there's a way to stop the ball
现在有办法阻止这一切了
It isn't difficult at all
一点都不难
All it takes is wisdom I'm absolutely
需要的只是智慧我绝对
Sure that we could get it back into the box
我确信我们可以把一切尘埃落定
And buy the chains and lock the locks
买下金链子锁上金链子
No one seems to want to save the children any more
似乎再也没有人愿意拯救这些孩子
Well that's the way it all appears
事实就是如此
Cause it's been bouncing round for years and years
因为这一切已经循环了好多年
In spite of all the wisdom wiz since
不管我多么聪明
Those wondrous days of yaw
那些令人惊叹的日子
And the time they came across the box
当他们遇到那个盒子的时候
Bound up with chains and locked with locks
被金链子束缚被锁上
And labelled kindly do not touch it's war
被贴上亲切的标签别碰这是战争
