古水:

        或许这个世界根本没有上帝，人类在意念中构筑起虚幻形象，藉他的公义无私来检视自我的种种丑恶欲望，世俗情结之于宗教信仰，亦非完全对立冲撞，虔诚只是某种层面的物我两忘，却无关灵魂本质的低俗与高尚！
        「From a Distance」，美国词曲创作人兼歌手茱莉·戈尔德(Julie Gold)最为著名的作品，由民谣/乡村女歌手南希·格里菲斯(Nanci Griffith)在1987年首度演录，该曲真正传遍全球的版本则是多栖艺人贝蒂·米勒(Bette Midler)于三年后的演绎，收录在其当年专辑"Some People's Life"中，并于次年夺得格莱美年度最佳单曲之殊荣。

「From a Distance」(唱词原文及中文译意)
在远方(译文版权 © 古水 严禁盗用及站外转载)

From a distance the world looks blue and green,
在远方 世界青涩感伤
and the snow-capped mountains white.
群峰抹上银妆
From a distance the ocean meets the stream,
在远方 溪流汇入汪洋
and the eagle takes to flight.
雄鹰展翅飞翔

From a distance, there is harmony,
在远方 聆听天籁悠扬
and it echoes through the land.
大地随之歌唱
It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace,
唱出和平希望
it's the voice of every man.
奏出心灵回响

From a distance we all have enough,
在远方 你我无须伪装
and no one is in need.
或为欲念彷徨
And there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease,
没有战争创伤
no hungry mouths to feed.
没有疾病死亡

From a distance we are instruments
在远方 你我互诉衷肠
marching in a common band.
共谱一曲铿锵
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace.
咏颂和平希望
They're the songs of every man.
共筑心底梦想
God is watching us. God is watching us.
上帝投来目光
God is watching us from a distance.
自那天际远方

From a distance you look like my friend,
在远方 你我不必躲藏
even though we are at war.
抛开战争恐慌
From a distance I just cannot comprehend
在远方 不必费尽思量
what all this fighting is for.
终日彼此提防

From a distance there is harmony,
在远方 聆听天籁悠扬
and it echoes through the land.
大地随之歌唱
And it's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves,
唱出和平希望
it's the heart of every man.
奏出心灵回响

It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves.
那是希望之光 那是爱之芬芳
This is the song of every man.
更是心之回响
And God is watching us, God is watching us,
上帝投来目光
God is watching us from a distance.
自那天际远方
Oh, God is watching us, God is watching.
俯视人世沧桑
God is watching us from a distance.
自那遥远天堂
