Old Friends, Bookends Theme

Old friends, old friends
老朋友 老朋友
Sat on their park bench like bookends
镇纸般静栖在公园的长椅
A newspaper blown through the grass
一张报纸掠过草坪
Falls on the round toes
落在他们
Of the high shoes of the old friends
高靴子的圆尖上
Old friends, winter companions, the old men
老朋友，冬日里的伙伴 垂暮之人
Lost in their overcoats, waiting for the sun
迷茫地包裹在大衣里等待着太阳

The sounds of the city sifting through trees
城市的喧嚣穿过树林
Settle like dust on the shoulders of the old friends
如尘埃般飘落在老朋友的肩上

Can you imagine us years from today?
多年前你曾想像过今天吗
Sharing a park bench quietly
我们静静地同坐一张长椅
How terribly strange to be seventy70
年是多么惊人的改变
Old friends, memory brushes the same years
老朋友，记忆冲蚀尽同样绵长的岁月
Silently sharing the same fears
静默的分担同样的恐惧

Time it was and what a time it was, it was
时光啊时光 韶华如水般

A time of innocence, a time of confidences
纯真无邪的时光 满怀信心的时光

Long ago, it must be, I have a photograph
定是很久以前了 我有一张相片
Preserve your memories, they're all that's left you
留存着对你的回忆 那是关乎你留下的全部回忆
