【EP1:小诗一首】
It starts as a whisper,
a word on the air,
It can't quite be heard, but you know that it's there,
As gentle as sunlight,As tenacious as hail
｛ tenacious:顽固的，坚韧的，hail：冰雹｝
in its route to the heart, it couldn't but prevail
{prevail:盛行，流行，战胜，获胜}
And the people looked up from their day-to - day tasks, their day-to-day jobs and their day-to-day masks
they heard or they felt where the whisper could lead
and they looked with eyes wide at what might mean
and once they could see it , they hadn't a chance to resist the sweet song of the deep spell it cast
{cast spell:施展法术}
But the feeling it brought them at first glance was pain
{at first glance:乍一看，初看}
as they lifted their eyes on the land they had claimed {claim: 声称，要求 lift the eyes:抬起眼睛}
since they saw at last as if raised from a dream
they were almost alone on the land and the sea
for the trees had almost gone
and the bees had almost gone
and the creatures in their shells by the seas had almost gone
and the people felt sad as they saw their new earth
but they knew that was it
one wild chance for rebirth
{rebirth:新生，再生}
breaking new ground, seeds rolling down
开垦土地，播撒种子
smell of the earth on your hands and your brow
no time for sorrow, we're building tomorrow
{sorrow:悲伤}
the sound of things growing now keeps us around
as the wildness grows ,and the deep wood grows
and the sense that the futures come to meet you grows
there's no chance we can rest
we must do our best
this moment can lead us back home
that's our test
It starts as a whisper
a word on the air
It can't quite be heard, but you know that it's there
it then spoke like thunder until we all moved
and we could and we did and it's done
she's renewed
