Translated by Yuanbing Zhang
Give You A Bottle of Nectar From The Kingdom of Heaven
I
Give you a bottle of nectar from the kingdom of heaven
Let your flowers of soul blossom
Let your bones be white and transparent
Let you bathe in music of the kingdom of heaven
There will be no more earthly night
Let you forget that fragrance of soul
That’s in your home of soul
That giant’s yourself that are sweet and free.
II
The strings of heavenly gems
Embedded on your golden crown
You are the giant’s king from the of the Kingdom of Gold
Your land is vaster than billions of seas.
Our Souls are Free and Magical
Our souls are free and magical
Which can reach many heavens without wings
Every Kingdom of Heaven has sweet memories
Oh, where there’s no the word of death
To protect your childhood sun
The teenager’s starry sky is light from the Kingdom of Heaven
And in the deep of your bones
old gods are smiling at you
Their words are music from the Kingdom of Heaven
赠你一瓶天国的琼浆
一
赠你一瓶天国的琼浆
让你的灵魂之花绽放
让你的骨骼洁白透明
让你沐浴那天国的乐曲
再也没有尘世的黑夜
让你遗忘那灵魂的芬芳
那在你的灵魂的家园
那甜蜜自在的巨人的自己
二
这一串串天国的宝石
镶嵌在你的金冠之上
你是那黄金之国巨人的王
你的国土巨大胜过亿万座海洋
我们的灵魂自由而神奇
我们的灵魂自由而神奇
不需要翅翼而能抵达诸多的天国
每一座天国都有甜蜜的记忆
哦 在那儿没有死亡这个词语
保护好你的童年的太阳
那少年的星空是天国的光芒
而在你的骨骼深处 古老的
诸神向你微笑
他们的话语是天国的乐曲
