A Million Miles To The City - Tom T. Hall
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Yeah, I remember it now,
是啊 我现在想起来了
We were kids back then
那时我们还是孩子
Livin' down on the farm
住在乡下的农场里
We were told that the city
大人们总告诫我们
Could only bring us harm
城市只会带来伤害
"How far is the city?", somebody said
"城市有多远？"有人这样问
And, "Oh, that's a great big town"
"噢 那可是个大都会"
And Barbara said,
芭芭拉轻声说道
"Why, it's a million miles"
"那里远在百万里之外"
And the story got around
这个传说口耳相传
It's a million miles to the city
城市距此百万里之遥
From the hills and valleys we know
远离我们熟悉的山丘与幽谷
It's a million miles to the city
城市距此百万里之遥
And someday we all wanna go
但终有一天我们都将前往
There was a town nearby
附近曾有个小镇伫立
But a town is a town
但小镇终究只是小镇
And the city well, that's something else
而城市啊 那是全然不同的天地
Our daddy had been to a city
父亲曾去过那座城市
But he never was much help
却从未给我们解惑答疑
Why the buildings are taller than Oak trees
为何楼宇比橡树还高耸入云
Ah, but we knew better than that
我们心里早已知晓答案
Ain't nobody could climb that high
凡人怎能攀上那般高度
The cities were wide and flat
城市广阔而平坦
It's a million miles to the city
城市距此百万里之遥
From the hills and valleys we know
远离我们熟悉的山丘与幽谷
It's a million miles to the city
城市距此百万里之遥
And someday we all wanna go
但终有一天我们都将前往
Well, now time has passed and we have grown
如今时光飞逝 我们已长大
And traveled far and wide
走过千山万水
The cities have changed the kids we were
城市改变了曾经的我们
We see it in each others eyes
我们彼此眼中都映着这份思念
But I'd love to go back to those hills again
我多想重返那片熟悉的山丘
To the boy I used to be
找回当年那个纯真的少年
Where the leaves and the wind
那里有落叶与微风
And the whippoorwills
还有夜鹰的啼鸣
Were part of the land like me
都如同我般属于那片土地
It's a million miles to the city
城市距此百万里之遥
From the hills and valleys we know
远离我们熟悉的山丘与幽谷
It's a million miles to the city
城市距此百万里之遥
And someday we all wanna go
但终有一天我们都将前往
It's a million miles to the city
城市距此百万里之遥
From the hills and valleys we know
远离我们熟悉的山丘与幽谷
It's a million miles to the city
城市距此百万里之遥
