[00:00:12]

[00:00:12] There was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run

[00:00:18] 曾经在这片美丽的土地上铁路还没有通车

[00:00:18] When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun

[00:00:24] 当苍茫的群山独自伫立在阳光下

[00:00:24] Long before the white man and long before the wheel

[00:00:29] 早在白人出现之前早在汽车出现之前

[00:00:29] When the green dark forest was too silent to be real

[00:00:40] 当绿色黑暗的森林寂静无声无法成真

[00:00:40] But time has no beginnings and history has no bounds

[00:00:45] 但时间没有起点历史没有边界

[00:00:45] As to this verdant country they came from all around

[00:00:51] 在这个苍翠欲滴的国度里他们来自四面八方

[00:00:51] They sailed upon her waterways

[00:00:53] 他们在航道上航行

[00:00:53] And they walked the forests tall

[00:00:57] 他们漫步在高高的树林里

[00:00:57] Built the mines mills and the factories for the good of us all

[00:01:07] 为了我们所有人的利益建造了矿井工厂

[00:01:07] And when the young man's fancy was turnin' to the spring

[00:01:13] 当这个年轻人的注意力转向春天

[00:01:13] The railroad men grew restless for to hear the hammers ring

[00:01:19] 铁路工人焦躁不安地想听着铁锤的声音

[00:01:19] Their minds were overflowing with the visions of their day

[00:01:24] 他们的脑海里思绪万千

[00:01:24] And many a fortune lost and won and many a debt to pay

[00:01:32] 失去了多少财产又赢得了多少债要还

[00:01:32] For they looked in the future and what did they see

[00:01:36] 因为他们展望未来他们看到了什么

[00:01:36] They saw an iron road runnin' from the sea to the sea

[00:01:40] 他们看见一条通往大海的铁路

[00:01:40] Bringin' the goods to a young growin' land

[00:01:44] 把好东西带到这片正在生长的土地上

[00:01:44] All up through the seaports and into their hands

[00:01:49] 通过海港落入他们手中

[00:01:49] Look away said they across this mighty land

[00:01:56] 转移视线他们说他们穿越这片辽阔的土地

[00:01:56] From the eastern shore to the western strand

[00:02:04] 从东海岸到西海岸

[00:02:04] Bring in the workers and bring up the rails

[00:02:06] 把工人叫来把铁轨拉上来

[00:02:06] We gotta lay down the tracks and tear up the trails

[00:02:10] 我们必须放弃一切放弃一切

[00:02:10] Open 'er heart let the life blood flow

[00:02:13] 敞开心扉让生命的血液流淌

[00:02:13] Gotta get on our way cause we're movin' too slow

[00:02:17] 必须踏上旅途因为我们的速度太慢了

[00:02:17] Bring in the workers and bring up the rails

[00:02:20] We're gonna lay down the tracks and tear up the trails

[00:02:42] Behind the blue rockies the sun is declinin'

[00:02:50] 在蓝色落基山后面太阳渐渐西沉

[00:02:50] The stars they come stealin' at the close of the day

[00:03:00] 夜幕降临星辰悄然而至

[00:03:00] Across the wide prairie our loved ones lie sleeping

[00:03:07] 在辽阔的大草原上我们爱的人酣然入睡

[00:03:07] Beyond the dark oceans in a place far away

[00:03:16] 在漆黑的海洋之外在一个遥远的地方

[00:03:16] We are the navvies who work upon the railway

[00:03:24] 我们是在铁路上劳作的水手

[00:03:24] Swingin' our hammers in the bright blazin' sun

[00:03:33] 在耀眼的阳光下挥舞我们的铁锤

[00:03:33] Livin' on stew and drinkin' bad whiskey

[00:03:41] Bendin' our backs 'til the long days are done

[00:04:07] Layin' down track and buildin' the bridges

[00:04:15] 铺好路搭好桥

[00:04:15] Bendin' our backs 'til the railroad is done

[00:04:33] 拼尽全力直到铁路完工

[00:04:33] So over the mountains and over the plains

[00:04:37] 越过高山越过平原

[00:04:37] Into the muskeg and into the rain

[00:04:41] 走进枪林弹雨里

[00:04:41] Up the St Lawrence all the way to Gaspe

[00:04:44] 沿着圣劳伦斯一路走到加斯佩

[00:04:44] Swingin' our hammers and drawin' our pay
