Beatles - Across The Universe
Words are flowing out
종이컵 속으로 끝없이 내리는 비와 같이
like endless rain into a paper cup,
수많은 이야기들이 쉴 새 없이 흘러나와요
They slither while they pass,
앞 다투어 미끌어지면서
they slip away across the universe.
그 이야기들은 우주의 끝으로 사라져가죠.
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy
슬픔의 바다, 환희의 물결은
are drifting through my open mind,
열린 내 마음속을 떠돌아 다니며
Possessing and caressing me.
나를 사로잡고, 어루만집니다.
Jai guru deva om
선지자여 진정한 깨달음을 주소서
Nothing's gonna change my world, X4
그 무엇도 나의 세계를 변하게 할 수 없어요
Images of broken light which dance before me
굴절된 빛의 이미지가
like a million eyes,
수많은 눈동자처럼 내 앞에서 춤을 추며
That call me on and on
우주의 끝으로 가는 길로 오라고
across the universe.
계속해서 내게 손짓하네요.
Thoughts meander like a restless wind
가라앉지 않은 바람과 같이 나의 생각은
inside a letter box,
우편함 속에서 정처 없이 떠돌고 있어요
they tumble blindly
그리고 눈먼 사람처럼 어림짐작으로
as they make their way across the universe.
우주의 끝으로 가는 길을 찾고 있어요.
Jai guru deva om
선지자여 진정한 깨달음을 주소서
Nothing's gonna change my world, X4
그 무엇도 나의 세계를 변하게 할 수 없어요.
Sounds of laughter shades of earth
웃음 소리와 대지의 그림자는
are ringing Through my open ears,
열린 나의 귀를 통해 울려 퍼지며
inviting and inciting me.
나를 자극하고, 나를 유혹합니다
Limitless, undying love
끝없이 영원한 사랑은
which shines around me like a million suns,
백만의 태양처럼 내 주위에서 빛나며
it calls me on and on
나에게 자꾸 자꾸 손짓하내
Across the universe.
우주를 가로질러 오라고.
Jai guru deva om
선지자여 진정한 깨달음을 주소서
Nothing's gonna change my world, X4
아무것도 내 세계를 변하게 할 수 없어요
Jai guru deva om, X6
선지자여 진정한 깨달음을 주소서
The transmission over NASA's Deep Space Network commemorated the 40th anniversary of the day The Beatles recorded the song, as well as the 50th anniversary of NASA's founding and the group's beginnings. Two other anniversaries also are being honored: The launch 50 years ago this week of Explorer 1, the first U.S. satellite, and the founding 45 years ago of the Deep Space Network, an international network of antennas that supports missions to explore the universe.
The transmission was aimed at the North Star, Polaris, which is located 431 light years away from Earth. The song will travel across the universe at a speed of 186,000 miles per second. Former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney expressed excitement that the tune, which was principally written by fellow Beatle John Lennon, was being beamed into the cosmos.
"Amazing! Well done, NASA!" McCartney said in a message to the space agency. "Send my love to the aliens. All the best, Paul."
Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, characterized the song's transmission as a significant event.
"I see that this is the beginning of the new age in which we will communicate with billions of planets across the universe," she said.
It is not the first time Beatles music has been used by NASA; in November 2005, McCartney performed the song "Good Day Sunshine" during a concert that was transmitted to the International Space Station (› Related Story). "Here Comes the Sun," "Ticket to Ride" and "A Hard Day's Night" are among other Beatles' songs that have been played to wake astronaut crews in orbit.
Feb. 4 has been declared "Across The Universe Day" by Beatles fans to commemorate the anniversaries. As part of the celebration, the public around the world has been invited to participate in the event by simultaneously playing the song at the same time it is transmitted by NASA. Many of the senior NASA scientists and engineers involved in the effort are among the group's biggest fans.
"I've been a Beatles fan for 45 years – as long as the Deep Space Network has been around," said Dr. Barry Geldzahler, the network's program executive at NASA Headquarters, Washington. "What a joy, especially considering that 'Across the Universe' is my personal favorite Beatles song."출처 : http://www.nasa.gov/
