The Circle Game

Yesterday a child came out to wonder
昨天有個孩子來到外面的世界遊蕩
Caught a dragon fly inside a jar
捉住了一隻蜻蜓放進罐子裡
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
雷聲轟鳴如此可怕
And tearful at the falling of a star
星辰墜落讓他淚如雨下
And the seasons they go round and round
春夏秋冬四季輪迴不止
And the painted ponies go up and down
五顏六色的木馬在上下跳動著
Were captive on the carousel of time
我們被困在這如同旋轉木馬一般的時間裡
We cant return we can only look behind from where we came
我們沒法回到過去只能回頭去看我們從何而來
And go round and round and round in the circle game
然後繼續在這個圈圈遊戲裡轉啊轉
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
春夏秋冬四季循環他東遷西徙
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
溜過了一條又一條凍結的小溪
Words like when youre older must appease him
別人說的'長大以後'總能讓他平靜
And promises of someday make his dreams
那承諾的未來某天讓他心懷夢想
And the seasons they go round and round
春夏秋冬四季輪迴不止
And the painted ponies go up and down
五顏六色的木馬在上下跳動著
Were captive on the carousel of time
我們被困在這如同旋轉木馬一般的時間裡
We cant return we can only look behind from where we came
我們沒法回到過去只能回頭去看我們從何而來
And go round and round and round in the circle game
然後繼續在這個圈圈遊戲裡轉啊轉
Six-teen springs and six-teen summers gone now
十六個春夏已然過去
Cart-wheels turn to car-wheels thou the town
穿過小鎮的馬車變成了汽車
And they tell him take youre time it wont be long now
他們告訴他：慢慢來等你拖拽著步伐讓時間之環慢下來
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down
你夢想的那一天就不再遙遠了
And the seasons they go round and round
春夏秋冬四季輪迴不止
And the painted ponies go up and down
五顏六色的木馬在上下跳動著
Were captive on the carousel of time
我們被困在這如同旋轉木馬一般的時間裡
We cant return we can only look behind from where we came
我們沒法回到過去只能回頭去看我們從何而來
And go round and round and round in the circle game
然後繼續在這個圈圈遊戲裡轉啊轉
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
時光過得飛快現在的男孩已經二十歲了
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
兒時的夢並沒有實現但他也有所成就
Theres be new dreams may be better dreams and plenty
在這最後的一年輪迴結束之前
Before the last revolving year is through
將會有更好更遠大的理想在等著他
And the seasons they go round and round
春夏秋冬四季輪迴不止
And the painted ponies go up and down
五顏六色的木馬在上下跳動著
Were captive on the carousel of time
我們被困在這如同旋轉木馬一般的時間裡
We cant return we can only look behind from where we came
我們沒法回到過去只能回頭去看我們從何而來
And go round and round and round in the circle game
然後繼續在這個圈圈遊戲裡轉啊轉
And go round and round and round in the circle game
然後繼續在這個圈圈遊戲裡轉啊轉
