Song for the Saints

Long before a boat anchored the harbour
早在駛船進港之前
Long before steel drums filled the breeze
早在鼓聲遠傳之前
God lifted these islands from the ocean
上帝讓那無數灘島浮於海面
They stood strong for centuries
積年累月從不動搖
So it's fitting they were named after men with golden halos
也不怪這些灘島以聖賦名
'Cause angels don't give in just cause a little wind blows
天使就是不顧風浪毅然前行的啊
We say we can when they say we can't
他們放棄我們堅持
See what it is when they see what it ain't
他們垂頭喪氣我們希冀萬分
With blood sweat and tears and a new coat of paint
汗血交織淚漬成片
We're just a sinner's choir singin' a song for the saints
我們就如贖罪之歌唱謝聖人
Woah woah
Woah woah
For the farmer in the field of sugar cane
謹獻給勤耕勞作的農民們
For the drunkard in his hammock dryin' out after the rain
獻給吊床上酣睡的酒鬼喝慘了就會戒了吧
For the teacher in the classroom kid kickin' cans in the street
獻給教室裡的老師們街邊踢罐玩耍的孩子們
For the captain and his bar mate prayin' down on bended knees
獻給船長和他的船員屈膝祈禱一帆風順
We say we can when they say we can't
他們放棄我們堅持
See what it is when they see what it ain't
他們垂頭喪氣我們希冀萬分
With blood sweat and tears and a new coat of paint
汗血交織淚漬成片
We're just a sinner's choir singin' a song for the saints
我們就如贖罪之歌唱謝聖人
Woah woah
Woah woah
This brokenness will heal this weakness will be strong
舊傷將愈前弱今強
Let's lift our voice together as the saints go marchin' on
讓我們齊聲呼喊衝鋒陷陣
We say we can when they say we can't
他們放棄我們堅持
See what it is when they see what it ain't
他們垂頭喪氣我們希冀萬分
With blood sweat and tears and a new coat of paint
汗血交織淚漬成片
We're just a sinner's choir singin' a song for the
我們就如贖罪之歌唱謝聖人
We say we can when they say we can't
他們放棄我們堅持
See what it is when they see what it ain't
他們垂頭喪氣我們希冀萬分
With blood sweat and tears and a new coat of paint
汗血交織淚漬成片
We're just a sinner's choir singin' a song for the saints
我們就如贖罪之歌唱謝聖人
Woah woah
Woah woah
Woah woah
