歌词:Best laid plans sometimes are just a one night stand.
有时最精心制定的计划莫过于一夜的陪伴。
Laid plan精心布置的计划 再来句几个例子:
Even our most carefully laid plans may backfire. 甚至我们的最周密安排的计划也可能产生适得其反的结果。
Backfire: (内燃机等)逆火;适得其反;产生事与愿违的结果
One night stand在歌词中翻译得比较含蓄委婉,那这个短语的意思呢实际上是一夜情。
其中的stand并不是“站立”的意思,而是表示一个很小的“place”,地方。
本来这个词是指a single night theatre performance,即只在某夜某地上演一次就离开的巡回表演,后来被代指a sexual relationship that lasts for a single night,即只持续一夜的那种亲密的关系,是口语中不正式的用法。比如:I was hoping for a lasting affair, not just a one night stand. 我希望的是长久恩爱, 而不是一夜露水之欢.

歌词:And the lambs are on the run, searching for the meaning.
无助的羔羊们正在亡命天涯,探寻着活下去的意义。
On the run一般有两个意思,要不就是逃跑,要不就是奔跑,引申为“奔波、忙碌”的意思,分别来举例:
逃跑:He's on the run from the police. 他正在逃避警方的追缉。
奔波、忙碌:I've been on the run all day and I'm exhausted. 我整天忙个不停,疲於奔命。
Search for表示寻找,search作为动词和名词都是可以的。
名词:They made a long search for the lost child. 他们花很长时间寻找失踪的孩子。
动词:We searched for five hours and all for nothing. 我们找了5个小时,但毫无结果。
这句歌词是比喻,把无助的人们比喻成了羔羊,自助者天助,不管你在什么样的境遇中,相信时间一定能让我们走过那个坎,只要你够坚强,还有亲人朋友的陪伴。

歌词:Turn the page maybe we'll find a brand new ending.
这句歌词就的的确确是满满的正能量了,因为这句歌词是说:或许另起一页我们会发现一个全新的结局。
Brand new: 崭新的、全新的。
The rising sun suggests a brand new day has come.
东升的太阳表明崭新的一天已经来临。
No one can go back and make a brand new start.
没有人可以回到过去,拥有一个崭新的开始。
Turn over a new leaf 的意思是重新开始(改过自新,过新生活) 。
英文释义:means to get a new start ,to change everything about yourself .
I'm turning a new leaf ,No more drinking ,No more smoking, It's a healthy life from now on.
我决定改过自新,戒掉烟酒,过健康的生活。
