Egg and Soldiers

I was looking over at my shoulder
我看著我的肩膀
Only thinking of the short term
只想再等一會
But time was looking back at me
但時間回望著我
Every day I eat an egg and soldier
每天吃掉一個雞蛋和士兵
Then I sit a little longer
隨後多坐一小會
On a blanket made for three
在三人座的毯子上
Swap cow for bean
用奶牛去交換豆子
And grow a stalk
並生根發芽
To tangle with the clouds
與雲朵纏繞一起
Plant poems in the barren ground
在貧瘠的土地種出詩般美麗的事物
Blow doldrums 'round and 'round
一次又一次打破消沉
Cut the brambles down
斬開荊棘阻難
Search for heaven underground
尋找著隱藏的極樂之地
It was lost but now it's found
它曾遺失但現在我找到它了
For we drank the ocean
因為我們沉浸於海洋之中
We'll play while Venice drowns
浸沒在威尼斯快樂時光中
Submarines won't save us now
現在開動潛艇不會拯救我們了
We climbed a hill but then fell down
我爬上了一座山但是卻摔了下去
We climbed a hill but then fell down
我爬上了一座山但是卻摔了下去
We climbed a hill but then fell down
我爬上了一座山但是卻摔了下去
I was looking over at my shoulder
我看著我的肩膀
Only thinking of the short term
只想再等一會
But time was looking back at me
但時間回望著我
Every day I eat an egg and soldier
每天吃掉一個雞蛋和士兵
Then I sit a little longer
隨後多坐一小會
On a blanket made for three
在三人座的毯子上
Swap cow for bean
用奶牛去交換豆子
And grow a stalk to tangle with the clouds
生根發芽與雲朵纏繞在一起
Plant poems in the barren ground
在貧瘠的土地種出詩般美麗的事物
Blow doldrums 'round and 'round
一次又一次打破消沉
All hail Tom Thumb
所有人都在為拇指Tom歡呼
What's done is done
已成定局覆水難收
You'll never find the answer
你永遠也找不到答案
Till it's gone
直到它消散為止
