Upon a winding forest road
在一条蜿蜒的林间小径上
I met a soldier far from home
我遇到一位背井离乡的士兵
I saw he was my enemy
我发现他曾是我的敌人
So I aimed at him and he at me
所以我们将枪口瞄准彼此
Prepared was I but load to shoot
我时刻准备开枪射击
And he uncertain what to do
而他不知所措
A cold sweat formed upon my brow
我的额头上冒着冷汗
But we both kept rank and stood our ground
但我们针锋相对 不敢松懈片刻
And then the curious thing occurred
然后奇怪的事情突然发生
On wings arrived a tiny bird
小鸟展翅翱翔 飞到我们身边
And troubled not by war or peace
让我们远离战争与和平的困扰
She sang for us a melody
她为我们引吭高歌
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I did not move or look away
我一动不动 也没有移开目光
Lest my life my foe would take
以免我的敌人夺走我的性命
Yet in his eyes I saw his fright
透过他的眼神 我发现他恐惧不安
Just a boy like me afraid to die
他只是个像我一样害怕死亡的男孩
The meadowlark sang on and on
草地鹨的啼鸣声不绝如缕
Then more arrived and joined the song
越来越多的鸟儿一起啼鸣
And as I held my rival stare
当我凝视着对手
A tremendous chorus filled the air
空中回荡着精彩绝伦的歌声
Then in my heart as clear as day
在我的心中 一切都清晰明了
I heard a gentle whisper say
我听见一个温柔的声音呢喃着
My son if my disciple be
我的孩子 若你是我的信徒
Show grace and love your enemy
赐予恩典 用爱对待你的敌人
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
With swell of birds sung all around
到处都回荡着鸟鸣声
Lowered I my rifle down
我慢慢放下步枪
And as my foe took aim at me
当我的敌人瞄准我
I showed him yield on bended knee
我劝说他向我屈膝投降
He faltered then and shook with fear
他步履蹒跚 吓得浑身发抖
And from his eye he wiped a tear
他拭去眼眶里的泪水
His gaze was as a brothers bond
他流露出善意的眼神 仿佛我们情同手足那般
And then he turned and he was gone
然后他转身 径直离去
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
If I should live to see more days
倘若我应该多活些时日
I pray the Lord to guide my ways
我祈祷上帝为我指引方向
With grace to love my enemy
让恩典将爱带去我敌人的身边
For grace my Savior showed to me
因为我的救世主赐予我恩典
With grace to love my enemy

For grace my Savior showed to me
