The Old Measure
As a sigh comes finally
一声叹息终于到来
At the end of a regret
而我却得到遗憾结束
Some things are just impossible
我和你在过去的一切
To forget
怎么可能被轻轻忘记
My affections and reflections
付出的感情曾经沧海
The many irons in a lasting burn
犹如持续灼烧的镣铐
And each extracts its due
在每一块心灵上榨取
In its own turn
你眼中我预期的变化
Our small measure, the old measure
我们的力量勇气耐力
Our muscle our mettle our nerve
直堪山长水阔去何处
May temper but can't change
也许你是那傲梅风骨
What we deserve
却温暖不了感情寒冬
I have read by my own dim light
假使我理解黯淡星光
And of these matters at hand
依然从手中遁入尘埃
I recount to you
我是否能再次认识你
What truths i can
熟悉的人熟悉的真相
Our small measure, the old measure
我们的力量勇气耐力
Our muscle our mettle our nerve
怎么不堪幽梦太匆匆
May temper but can't change
也许你是那万紫千红
What we deserve
却装饰不了盎然春意
I have read by my own dim light
假使我理解黯淡星光
And of these matters at hand
依然从手中遁入尘埃
I recount to you
我是否能再次认识你
What truths i can
熟悉的人熟悉的真相
Our small measure, the old measure
我们的力量勇气耐力
Our muscle our mettle our nerve
却道深情无计可消除
May temper but can't change
也许你是那袅袅秋风
What we deserve
却吹不化失落的心痕
