Wish I Stayed
Why cant we speak another language one we all agree on
為什麼我們不能說出孩提時代跟家鄉人學到的誓約般的語言？
為什麼許多人總是背井離鄉嚮往燈紅酒綠
When when men look outside do they see houses
而不是養育了他們的一方水土？
Instead of the fields they grew from
拜他們所賜，我們中越來越多人開始忘本，令我們心力交瘁。
你們這些忘本的人能不能振作起來，像嘗試蹦極一樣嘗試造福家鄉麼？
We are Constantly uprooted from them making us tiresome and fearful
因為只要你想就能跨出決定性的一步，關鍵在於能持續多久
你已經令鄉親們引以為榮
Can you get up right now endeavor to freefall
但你居然已經忘了你的根在哪
這可怕的思想一旦無人察覺將根深蒂固
You can fall if you want to Its just a matter of how far
感受到它的存在，令我們憂心忡忡
Youve treasured our home town
兒時讓我跳個不停的跳繩和蹦床啊
But youve forgotten where you are
還有那嗆的我們掉眼淚的行踪狡猾不定的炊煙啊
And it will stay with you until youre minds been found
令我們決不放棄讓家鄉更美好的心願
and it has been found wondering around
僅僅需要一個簡單的措施付諸實施
With that skipping rope the trampoline
讓漠不關心的態度煙消雲散
The crafty smoke that made us choke
我希望我能落葉歸根
But we didnt give up hope
我希望我能衣錦還鄉
我希望我能結廬於此
Its just the simple ways of getting paid
畫板上那被我精心繪畫的美好畫卷啊
The carelessnes of running away
描述的是保持家鄉這幢巨大房子不會倒塌的柱子和橫梁
I wish I stayed
調皮的我們總是寄出那些沒有署名的信件
這樣就可以看到那些收信人困惑不解的滑稽相了
I wish I stayed
躲在前人種植的大樹樹蔭下
為什麼我會在可憐的寫字本上畫一個個三角形
I wish I stayed
而不是讓它發揮本身寫字的職能
如你所見
Patterns all aranged in my background
我粗心丟失的並不是漂亮的衣裳而是欠缺細心和記性
Its pillars and posts keeping this country on form
而這些兒時的美好並不是像你們想的那樣遺失了
正相反，你們已經找到並回憶起來了
Letters were all sent with no addresses
兒時讓我跳個不停的跳繩和蹦床啊
So that people cant discover
還有那嗆的我們掉眼淚的行踪狡猾不定的炊煙啊
令我們決不放棄讓家鄉更美好的心願
Always undercover
僅僅需要一個簡單的措施付諸實施
Why do i always draw triangles
讓漠不關心的態度煙消雲散
Instead of words this paper so deserves
我希望我能落葉歸根
我希望我能衣錦還鄉
You see
我希望我能
I dont own my clothes but i own my mind
因為只要你想就能跨出決定性的一步
And its not what youve lost
關鍵在於得持續多久
But its what you find.
你已經令鄉親們引以為榮
With that skipping rope the trampoline
但你居然已經忘了你的根在哪
The crafty smoke that made us choke
這可怕的思想一旦無人察覺將根深蒂固
But we didnt give up hope
感受到它的存在，令我們憂心忡忡
兒時讓我跳個不停的跳繩和蹦床啊
Its just the simple ways of getting paid
還有那嗆的我們掉眼淚的行踪狡猾不定的炊煙啊
The carelessnes of running away
令我們決不放棄讓家鄉更美好的心願
I wish I stayed
僅僅需要一個簡單的措施付諸實施
讓漠不關心的態度煙消雲散
I wish I stayed
我希望我能落葉歸根
我希望我能衣錦還鄉
I wish I stayed
我希望我能落葉歸根
我希望我能衣錦還鄉
cos you can fall if you want to
我希望我能結廬於此
Its just a matter of how far
Youve treasured our home town
But youve forgotten where you are
And it will stay with you until youre minds been found
and it has been found wondering around
With that skipping rope the trampoline
The crafty smoke that made us choke
But we didnt give up hope
Its just the simple ways of getting paid
The carelessnes of running away
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed
