Down to Earth并不是一听钟情的旋律，但配合《机器人瓦力》的剧情，加上影片最后片末的匠心画面，（点此看《机器人总动员》片尾动画中模仿的绘画风格分析）这歌词又是如此贴合到位地触及到了电影的主题，真正好的原声歌曲，不正应该如此么？“我们回到我们的土地，没有更好的地方可以比拟。那山顶覆盖白雪皑皑，那脚边经过河流潺潺。我们回到我们的土地，听见鸟儿歌唱在树林。这方热土需要我们呵护，把生命的种子播撒在微风里。”这是我们共同的地球家园，正如船长所说：“Out there is our home. HOME. And it's in trouble. I can't just sit here and-and-do nothing. ”



《机器人瓦力》主题歌歌词翻译
Down to Earth
by Peter Gabriel

Did you think that your feet had been bound
By what gravity brings to the ground?
Did you feel you were tricked
By the future you picked?
Well, come on down

是否感到自己被禁足？
被地心引力紧紧束缚
是否觉得自己被欺骗？
被你自己选择的明天
那就一起来吧

All those rules don’t apply
When you’re high in the sky
So, come on down
Come on down

当你高高地飘在天际
所有规则都无迹可寻
那就一起来
一起来吧

We’re coming down to the ground
There’s no better place to go
We’ve got snow up on the mountains
We’ve got rivers down below

我们回到阔别的土地
再没有更好的地方可去
山顶上覆盖着白雪皑皑
山脚下静淌过流水潺潺

We’re coming down to the ground
We hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze

我们回到阔别的土地
听见鸟儿歌唱在树林
我们会好好照顾这片土地
播下种子播撒在清风里

Did you think you’d escaped from routine
By changing the script and the scene?
Despite all you made of it
You’re always afraid
Of the change

你以为自己能逃脱规律
偷偷篡改了脚本和剧情
不管你做了多大努力
到头来你还是会害怕
所谓改变带来的奇迹

You’ve got a lot on your chest
Well, you can come as my guest
So come on down
Come on down

有太多愁绪堆积在心
就请你来当我的座上宾
那就一起来
一起来吧

We’re coming down to the ground
There’s no better place to go
We’ve got snow up on the mountains
We’ve got rivers down below

我们回到阔别的土地
再没有更好的地方可去
山顶上覆盖着白雪皑皑
山脚下静淌过流水潺潺

We’re coming down to the ground
We hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze

我们回到阔别的土地
听见鸟儿歌唱在树林
我们会好好照顾这片热 土
撒下种子散播在清风里

Like the fish in the ocean
We felt at home in the sea
We learned to live off the good land
Learned to climb up a tree
Then we got up on two legs
But we wanted to fly
When we messed up our homeland
We set sail for the sky

正如鱼儿游在水中
曾在海洋如此自由
终于登陆肥沃热土
学会潇洒穿梭枝头
待到我们直立行走
却 又想着展翅遨游
家园满目疮痍时候
我们扭头飞向天空

We’re coming down to the ground
There’s no better place to go
We’ve got snow up on the mountains
We’ve got rivers down below

我们回到阔别的土地
再没有更好的地方可去
山顶上覆盖着白雪皑皑
山脚下静淌过流水潺潺

We’re coming down to the ground
We hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze

我们回到阔别的土地
听见鸟儿歌唱在树林
我们会好好照顾这片热土
撒下种子散播在清风里

We’re coming down
Coming down to Earth
Like babies at birth
Coming down to Earth
Refine your priorities
These are extraordinary qualities

我们重新回归
重新回到地球家园
好像婴儿呱呱坠地
重新回到地球家园
分清你的轻重缓急
这 是你非凡的能力

We’re coming down to the ground
There’s no better place to go
We’ve got snow up on the mountains
We’ve got rivers down below

我们回到阔别的土地
再没有更好的地方可去
山 顶上覆盖着白雪皑皑
山脚下静淌过流水潺潺

We’re coming down to the ground
We hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze

我们回到阔别的土地
听见鸟儿歌唱在树林
我们会好好照顾这片热土
撒下种子散播在清风里

We’re coming down to the ground
There’s no better place to go
We’ve got snow up on the mountains
We’ve got rivers down below

我们回到阔别的土地
再没有更好的地方可去
山 顶上覆盖着白雪皑皑
山脚下静淌过流水潺潺

We’re coming down to the ground
We hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze

我们回到阔别的土地
听见鸟儿歌唱在树林
我们会好好照顾这片土地
播下种子播撒在清风里

Refine your priorities
These are extraordinary qualities

分清你的轻重缓急
这是你非凡的能力
