Released as a single two months after the film's release, it became a worldwide hit, reaching the Top 10 in several countries.

英文歌词


Mama, take this badge off of me

I can’t use it anymore

It’s gettin’ dark, too dark for me to see

I feel like I’m knockin’ on heaven’s door

Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door

Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door

Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door

Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door

Mama, put my guns in the ground

I can’t shoot them anymore

That long black cloud is comin’ down

I feel like I’m knockin’ on heaven’s door

Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door

Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door

Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door

Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door

《敲响天堂之门》

妈妈,把我的徽章拿掉吧

我再也用不上了

天色渐黑,我都看不见了

我感觉正在敲响天堂之门

我感觉正在敲响天堂之门

妈妈,把我的枪埋到地里吧

我再也用不上了

绵延数里的乌云压境

我感觉正在敲响天堂之门

我感觉正在敲响天堂之门
