It starts as a whisper,

让我们开始吧。

a word on the air.

It can't quite be heard, but you know that it's there.

一切都源于一声

空中传来的低语。

As gentle as sunlight,

虽无法听清， 但你知道它就在那里。

as tenacious as hale,

in its route to the heart, it could not but prevail.

如阳光般温和，

似冰雹般坚韧，

And the people looked up from their day-to-day tasks,

它一往无前，直达心间。

their day-to-day jobs

and their day-to-day masks.

人们从日复一日的任务，

They heard or they felt

周而复始的工作

where the whisper could lead,

以及循环往复的口罩中 抬头观望。

and they looked with eyes wide

他们听到或是感受到了

at what that might mean.

那声低语会引领的方向，

And once they could see it, they hadn't a chance

他们瞪大双眼

试图明白它可能意味着什么。

To resist the sweet song

of the deep spell it cast.

一旦他们明白其含义， 便无法抗拒

它施展魔法

But the feeling it brought them at first glance

所唱出的甜美歌谣。

was pain,

as they lifted their eyes on the land they had claimed.

但当人们再次抬眼四望 自己曾经拥有的世界时，

Since they saw at last

这声低语带来的

as if raised from a dream,

却是痛苦。

they were almost alone on the land and the sea.

当他们仿佛从梦中醒来，

却发现自己几乎已是孤独地

For the trees had almost gone,

存在于这片大地与海洋之上。

and the bees had almost gone,

and the creatures in their shells by the seas

树木已近乎砍伐殆尽，

had almost gone.

蜜蜂已几乎悄然离去，

And the people felt sad as they saw their new Earth,

住在海边贝壳里的生物

but they knew this was it,

已几乎销声匿迹。

one wild chance for rebirth.

当人们看到新世界时， 不免感到悲伤，

但他们知道，机会来了——

Breaking new ground, seeds rolling down,

一次可以焕发新生、 拥有无限可能性的机会。

smell of the earth on your hands and your brow.

开垦土地，精心播种，

No time for sorrow, we're building tomorrow.

泥土的芬芳残留在额前与手中。

The sound of things growing now keeps us around.

没有时间感伤颓废， 我们在为未来准备。

As the wildness grows, and the deep wood grows,

萌芽声正将我们包围。

and the sense that the future's come to meet you

grows,

当荒原重生， 森林长出新枝，

There's no chance we can rest.

We must do our best.

未来可期的想法

This moment can lead us back home,

开始生根发芽。

没时间懈怠和休息，

that's our test.

我们必须竭尽全力。

It starts as a whisper,

这一刻可以带领我们 回到最初那天，

这是属于我们的试炼。

a word on the air.

It can't quite be heard, but you know that it's there.

一切都源于一声

空中传来的低语。

It then spoke like thunder.

虽无法听清， 但你知道它就在那里。

Until we all moved.

And we could.

And we did.

转瞬间它却如惊雷般炸响，

And it's done.

直到我们都行动起来。

She's renewed.

我们可以做到。

我们已参与其中。

等一切大功告成，

世界已重获新生。
