Oceans Away - Elton John

Oceans Away - Elton John (艾尔顿·约翰)

I hung out with the old folks
我与老人们混在一起,
In the hope that I'd get wise
希望变得明智
I was trying to bridge the gap
我努力缩小这个
Between the great divide
大分水岭的差距
Hung on every recollection
牢记每段回忆
In the theater of their eyes
在他们所目睹的世界中
Picking up on this and that
从各处拾起回忆
In the few that still survive
在还能记住的几个片段中
Call em up
将它们记起
Dust em off
为它们拂尘
Let em shine
让它们闪光
The ones who hold onto the ones
那些紧紧依附其他的
They had to leave behind
不得不离去
Those that flew those that fell
有些漂浮,有些坠落
The ones that had to stay
有些得停留
Beneath a little wooden cross
在木制的小十字架下
Oceans away
咫尺天涯
They bend like trees in winter
像寒冬里折腰的树木
These shuffling old gray lions
像曳步的迟暮的雄狮
Though snow white start to gather
尽管皑皑白雪开始积聚
Like the belt around Orion
像猎户座的腰带
Just a touch of faded lightning
但只需一道褪去的闪电
Of the powerful design
一个强大的设计
Of the generation gathered
一代人的聚集
For maybe the last time
因为这可能是最后的时光
Call em up
将它们记起
Dust em off
为它们拂尘
Let em shine
让它们闪光
The ones who hold onto the ones
那些紧紧依附其他的
They had to leave behind
不得不离去
Those that flew those that fell
有些漂浮,有些坠落
The ones that had to stay
有些得停留
Beneath a little wooden cross
在木制的小十字架下
Oceans away
咫尺天涯
Oceans away where the green grass sways and
咫尺天涯,那里青草摇曳
The cool wind blows across the shadow of their graves
凉风吹拂坟墓的阴影之处
Shoulder to shoulder back in the day
肩并着肩 追昔往日
Sleeping bones to rest in Earth
沉睡的尸骨安息在泥土中
Oceans away
咫尺天涯
Oceans away
咫尺天涯
Call em up
将它们记起
Dust em off
为它们拂尘
Let em shine
让它们闪光
The ones who hold onto the ones
那些紧紧依附其他的
They had to leave behind

The ones that had to stay

Beneath a little wooden cross

Oceans away
咫尺天涯
