We must Love one another or Die

非爱而亡

Suffering is everywhere.
But I don’t know why war could continue.
We will never forget the faces which thirst for blue sky.
No smoke of gunpowder.
No flames of war.

满地苦难遍及
但战争不可理喻的延续
那不可磨灭的脸庞
如此渴望着蓝天
没有硝烟四起
没有战火纷飞

Will you happy?
If there is no longer a speaking slit in its place?
Please don’t, to use the happy memory to justify continuing the war,
which will killing more people with more tears?
Why you still could extravagant hopes,
that God may understand and forgive you?

你是否会高兴呢？
如果它的家园一经寂寥无声？
请不要，将过去美好的记忆作为战争持续的借口
那借口将会成为纷飞眼泪中更多的无辜杀戮
为何你心中仍就能不可思议的奢望
上帝仁慈的理解与原谅

Not one more mother cry,
not one more coffin on,
no words we can believe.
We must love one another or die.
不要再看到一个母亲的眼泪
不要再看到一座坟墓
我们不会再相信那些欺骗性的言语
非爱而亡

After the war ended,
we can bury a man in one day,
we can build our destroyed city in ten years,
but we need to spent all our life to repent of what we did,
for the man who killed to keep from dying but be killed.

当战争结束的时候
我们能用一天时间来埋葬一个士兵的尸体
我们能用十年时间来重建一座被摧毁的城市
可我们必将付出我们的一生去忏悔我们的所作所为
为了那一个为了生存而杀戮却被杀死的兄弟

Not for democracy,
nor freedom,
and certainly not for religion,
not these words we fought for!
So, why we were fighting?
Please make peace,
not war.

不为了民主
也不为了自由
更不会是为了宗教
这不是我们战争的理由！
那么，我们为何而战？
请留下和平
而不是战争

PS: “We must love one another or die.”——from W·H·Auden. When I see the words, it touches my heart deeply. So I want to write down something for this sentence.
另：“因爱而亡。”——摘自W·H·Auden。当我看到这句话的时候，它触动了内心的深处。因此我为它而写下了一些我想说的话。
