How Can I Keep From Singing

My life goes on in endless song
我生活在一个充满歌声的环境之中
above earth’s lamentations,
超越这个世界的哀叹之上
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
我听见了真实的赞歌，尽管有些遥远
that hails a new creation.
这是一个全新的创造
Through all the tumult and the strife
在所有的混乱和冲突当中
I hear it’s music ringing,
我听见有音乐响起
it sounds an echo in my soul.
这听起来像是我灵魂深处的回响
How can I keep from singing?
我怎能停止歌唱？
While though the tempest loudly roars,
即使暴风在大声咆哮着
I hear the truth, it liveth.
我依然听见了真理的声音
And though the darkness ’round me close,
尽管黑暗笼罩着我
songs in the night it giveth.
但我依然在夜里给人们带去歌声
No storm can shake my inmost calm,
没有任何事物能够撼动我内心的那份平静
while to that rock I’m clinging.
我就像岩石般坚韧顽强
Since love is lord of heaven and earth
因为爱是世间最伟大的事物
how can I keep from singing?
所以我怎能停止歌唱？
lalalalalala......
When tyrants tremble in their fear
当暴君在恐惧中瑟缩
and hear their death knell ringing,
因为他们的丧钟已经敲响
when friends rejoice both far and near
当远近的友人们一同欢乐的时候
how can I keep from singing?
我怎能停止歌唱
In prison cell and dungeon vile
哪怕在监禁和牢狱之中
our thoughts to them are winging,
我们的想法也会像天使的翅膀一般
when friends by shame are undefiled
要让朋友们不会蒙受耻辱
how can I keep from singing?
我怎能停止歌唱？
lalalalalala......
