"Go Tell It On the Mountain"是一首著名的基督教讚美詩,其歌詞如下:
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and far away
Tell it in the towns and in the villages
Over the far and wide plain so
Tell it like He told you
Over the mountains, everywhere
Every valley, tell it and go on
Over the hills and far away
You see a farmer plowing
You see a merchant going by
You see a girl with her head bowed low
But you don't see what they're saying to the sky
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and far away
Tell it in the towns and in the villages
Everywhere and over the far and wide plain
Some say the devil is a powerful one
And he's gonna make it hard for you to stay in line
But don't you believe what they're saying, children
Over the mountains, everywhere
Some say God is dead and they bury him
And when they come to find out they're wrong
They gonna run around crying, "Oh, my God"
Over the mountains, everywhere
So go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and far away
Tell it in the towns and in the villages
Over the far and wide plain so
Every valley, tell it and go on
Over the hills and far away
其英文翻譯如下:
去山的那一邊傳播這個訊息吧,
越過山丘,遠到天邊。
告訴城鎮和村莊的人們,
在那廣袤的原野的另一邊。
像他告訴你的那樣講述它,
越過山丘,無處不在。
每個山谷都告訴它,繼續前進,
越過山丘,遠到天邊。
你看到一個農民在耕田,
你看到商人匆匆忙忙。
你看到一個女孩低頭不語,
但你聽不到她在向天空訴說。
去山的那一邊傳播這個訊息吧,
越過山丘,遠到天邊。
告訴城鎮和村莊的人們,
無處不在,在那廣袤的原野的另一邊。
有人認為惡魔是個強大的存在,
他會讓你難以保持正直。
但孩子們,不要相信他們在說些什麼,
越過山丘,無處不在。 有人認為上帝已死,他們把他埋葬,
當他們找到錯處,他們將痛哭流涕,找到真理時才知道。 他們會四處奔波哭喊:“我的上帝!” 越過山丘,無處不在。 越過山的那一邊傳播這個訊息吧。
