歌词赏析：

You think you own whatever land you land on

你以为所踏之地非你莫属

Earth is just a dead thing you can claim

你说大地无非死物

But I know every rock and tree and creature has a life, has a spirit, has a name

但我却知道岩石有生命，树木有灵魂，万物皆有名

You think the only people who are pople are the people who look and think like you

你以为和你有着同样面孔与思维的生物才叫人类

But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger you learn things you never knew you never knew

如果你另辟蹊径

Have heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon?

你听过狼嚎吗对着那清冷的满月

Or ask the grinning bobcatwhy he grinned

去问那山猫吧，问它为何神秘微笑

Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?

你可以应和那山谷幽幽的回音吗

Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

你可以绘出那旖旎在风中的缤纷色彩吗

Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

你可以吗

come run the hidden pine trails of the forest

来吧，奔跑在隐蔽的松林小径

Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth

来吧，品尝那大地上甘醇甜美的浆果

Come roll in all the riches all around you

来吧，尽情舞蹈在这美丽的富饶

And for once never wonder what they're worth

不再去想是否值得

The rainstorm and the rivers are my brothers

狂暴的风雨和丰沛的河流是我的兄弟

And the heron and the otter are my friends

自由的苍鹰和调皮的水獭是我的朋友

And we are all connected to each other

我们彼此相连，紧紧相依

In a circle in a hoop that never ends

自然的轨迹，生生不息

How high does the sycamore grow if you cut it down, then you'll never know

如果你砍去枫树，永远也不会知道它能长多高

And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon

不会听到清冷的圆月下，那哀怨的狼嚎

Or whether we are white or copper-skinned

无论我们的皮肤是白色还是黄色

We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains to paint with all the colors of the wind

我们都渴望能够应和那山谷幽幽的回音能够绘出那旖旎在风中的缤纷色彩

You can own the Earth and still all you'll own is earth until you can paint with all the colors of the wind

当你绘出了风中缤纷的色彩便可拥有这方土地乃至整个地球
