Colors of the
wind-風之彩
Vanessa Williams-凡妮莎威廉斯
You think I'm an ignorant savage
And you've been so many places
I guess it must be so
But still I cannot see
If the savage one is me
How can there be so much that you don't know?
You don't know ...
You think you own whatever land you land on
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew you never
knew
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue
corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the
mountains?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sunsweet berries of the Earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they're worth
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends
How high will the sycamore grow?
If you cut it down, then you'll never know
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue
corn moon
For whether we are white or copper skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the
mountains
We need to paint with all the colors of the
wind
You can own the Earth and still
All you'll own is Earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the wind
你以為我是一個無知的人
你足跡遍地
我想是這樣
但我看不到
如果我是野蠻人
你不知道的事情很多
你不知道...
你以為你擁有許多土地
地球是靜態的任你使用
但我知道每一塊岩石，樹木和動物
有生命，有靈性，有名字
你以為只有你一人
有誰像你這樣
如果你是一個陌生的腳步
你學到，你永遠不知道
你曾在月圓的晚上聽到狼嚎
山貓為何而笑
你能唱出山所有的聲音？
你可以用風的顏色作畫？
你可以用風的顏色作畫？
在松林小徑奔跑
品嘗地球上甜美的漿果
豐腴的財富源源不絕
這次沒有人對價值疑惑
暴雨和河流是我的兄弟
蒼鷺和水獺是我的朋友
我們都彼此相連
轉身，這叫聲永不停歇
梧桐樹長高了
如果你砍下來，那麼你永遠看不到
你將永遠不會聽到月圓的狼嚎
皮膚不論白皙或古銅色
我們要歌頌山岳
我們要畫出風的顏色
你仍然擁有地球
永遠的地球
你可以用風的顏色作畫
