Текст песни
Higher Ground
Райская земля
Ships in the making
Корабли медленно
Bound for a distant shore
Причаливают к далёкому берегу.
World for the taking
Весь мир перед тобой,
Men gone forever more
Но народ уплыл отсюда навсегда –
Boarding and setting sail
Загрузились и подняли паруса,
Yet victory won't prevail
Хотя победу ещё никто не объявил.
Freeze the arrow in the air
Останови стрелу в воздухе,
Make your mark and leave it hanging there
Подними своё знамя, пусть оно развевается.
Be the first to turn around
Будь первым, кто осмелится вернуться назад,
Take the leap to land on higher ground
Сделай шаг на путь, ведущий в рай.
Call in, surrender
Всех призывают сдаться,
Still, I won't feel like defeat
Но я не чувствую себя побеждённым.
Men laying down their swords
Народ складывает оружие,
Each of their own accord
Каждый по своей собственной воле.
Freeze the arrow in the air
Останови стрелу в воздухе,
Make your mark and leave it hanging there
Подними своё знамя, пусть оно развевается.
Be the first to turn around
Будь первым, кто осмелится вернуться назад,
Take the leap to land on higher ground
Сделай шаг на путь, ведущий в рай.
Raise the battle to the sky
Устрой битву перед небесами,
Face the fear and hold your head up high
Посмотри в лицо страху, не опуская головы.
Oooh-oooh, oooh-oooh
Уууу-ууу, ууу-уууу,
Take the leap like you were bound for higher ground
Сделай шаг, будто этот путь – твоё предназначение.
Freeze the arrow in the air
Останови стрелу в воздухе,
Make your mark and leave it hanging there
Подними своё знамя, пусть оно развевается.
Freeze the arrow in the air
Останови стрелу в воздухе,
Make your mark and leave it hanging there
Подними своё знамя, пусть оно развевается.
Be the first to turn around
Будь первым, кто осмелится вернуться назад,
Take the leap to land on higher ground
Сделай шаг на путь, ведущий в рай.
Be the first to turn around
Будь первым, кто осмелится вернуться назад,
Take the leap and land on higher ground
Сделай шаг на путь, ведущий в рай.
Перевод песни
Higher Ground
Paradise land
Ships in the making
Ships slowly
Bound for a distant shore
Moored to a distant shore.
World for the taking
The whole world is in front of you
Men gone forever more
But the people left here forever -
Boarding and setting sail
Loaded and set sail
Yet victory won't prevail
Although no one has declared victory yet.
Freeze the arrow in the air
Stop the arrow in the air
Make your mark and leave it hanging there
Raise your banner, let it fly
Be the first to turn around
Be the first to dare to go back
Take the leap to land on higher ground
Take a step on the path that leads to heaven.
Call in, surrender
Everyone is called to surrender
Still, I won't feel like defeat
But I don't feel defeated.
Men laying down their swords
The people lay down their arms
Each of their own accord
Each of its own free will.
Freeze the arrow in the air
Stop the arrow in the air
Make your mark and leave it hanging there
Raise your banner, let it fly
Be the first to turn around
Be the first to dare to go back
Take the leap to land on higher ground
Take a step on the path that leads to heaven.
Raise the battle to the sky
Arrange a battle before heaven
Face the fear and hold your head up high
Face the fear without lowering your head.
Oooh-oooh, oooh-oooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh,
Take the leap like you were bound for higher ground
Take a step as if this path is your destiny.
Freeze the arrow in the air
Stop the arrow in the air
Make your mark and leave it hanging there
Raise your banner, let it fly
Freeze the arrow in the air
Stop the arrow in the air
Make your mark and leave it hanging there
Raise your banner, let it fly
Be the first to turn around
Be the first to dare to go back
Take the leap to land on higher ground
Take a step on the path that leads to heaven.
Be the first to turn around
Be the first to dare to go back
Take the leap and land on higher ground
Take a step on the path that leads to heaven.
