A spaceman came traveling  

Chris De Burgh

A spaceman came traveling on his ship from afar
'Twas light years of time since his mission did start
And over a village he halted his craft
And it hung in the sky like a star
Just like a star -----

He followed a light and came down to a shed
Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed
A bright light of silver shone round his head
And he had the face of an angel
And they were afraid -----

Then the stranger spoke
He said" Do not fear
I come from a planet a long way from here
And I bring a message for mankind to hear"
And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air ----

And it went la la ------
Peace and goodwill to all men
And love for the child ------

This lovely music went trembling through the ground
And many were wakened on hearing that sound
And travelers on the road
The village they found by the light of that ship in the sky
Which shone all around -----

And just before dawn
At the paling of the sky
The stranger returned and said " Now I must fly
When two thousand years of your time has gone by
This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry --"
And it went la la ------
This song will begin once again
To a baby's cry ----
And it goes la la ----
Peace and goodwill to all men
And love for the child ----

Oh the whole world is waiting
Waiting to hear the song again
There are thousands standing on the edge of the world
And a star is moving somewhere
The time is nearly here
This song will begin once again
To a baby's cry ----

外星人來訪 

克里斯迪伯夫

一個外星人乘著太空船從遠方來訪
從祂執行任務起，那已是好幾光年以前
在一個村莊上空，祂停住了太空船
像一顆星懸在空中
就像一顆星-----

隨著亮光，祂下降到一間小屋前
裡面有位母親和孩子睡在床上
祂的頭上閃耀著明亮的銀光
祂有著天使般的臉龐
但她們感到十分害怕-----

然後這位陌生人說話了
祂說" 別怕，
我來自離這裡很遠的星球
我給人類帶來了訊息"
突然間，空中充滿了甜美的音樂----

它唱著：啦啦-----
和平與好運給人們
愛給孩子們

美麗的音樂震動著大地
很多人聽到音樂而醒來
路上的旅行者
循著天上太空船的光芒找到這個村莊
光芒照耀四周-----

天將破曉以前
天空出現白光
陌生人轉身說："我得走了，
當你們的時間過了兩千年，
這首歌將再度響起，從嬰兒的哭聲中--"
它唱著：啦啦----
這首歌將再度響起
從嬰兒的哭聲中----
它唱著：啦啦----
和平與好運給人們
愛給孩子們

噢，全世界都在期待
期待再次聽見這首歌
成千上萬的人們佇立在世界的邊緣
有一顆星子正在移動
時刻即將到來
這首歌將再度響起
從嬰兒的哭聲中----
