Sweet summer evenings,
甜蜜的夏日黄昏
hot wine and bread
热酒与面包飘香
Sharing your supper,
共享你的晚餐
sharing your bed
同眠你的床榻
Simple joys
简单的欢愉
have a simple voice:
发出质朴的呼唤：
It says why not go ahead?
何不纵情向前？
Wouldn't you rather
难道你不宁愿
be a left-handed flea
宁愿做一只左撇子跳蚤
A crab on a slab
或是礁石上的螃蟹
at the bottom of the sea
沉在海底深处
Than a man who
也不愿成为那个
never learns how to be free
从未学会自由的人
Not 'til he's cold and dead
直到生命冰冷消逝
Well I'll sing you
让我为你吟唱
the story of a sorrowful lad
一个忧伤少年的故事
Had everything he wanted,
他拥有想要的一切
didn't want what he had
却对所得毫无眷恋
He had wealth and pelf
财富与珍宝相伴
and fame and name and all of
盛名与头衔环绕
That noise
皆为虚妄
But he didn't have
唯独缺失了
none of those simple joys
那些纯粹的欢愉
His life seemed
他的生活看似
purposeless and flat
空洞又乏味
Aren't you glad
难道你不庆幸
you don't feel like that?
自己未曾如此？
So he ran from all
于是他逃离了
the deeds he'd done, he ran
过往种种，他逃
Things he'd just begun
逃离那些刚起步的事
He ran from himself,
他逃离了自己
now that's mighty far to run
那是一条漫长的归途
Out into the country
奔向乡野深处
where he played as a boy
那里有他童年的足迹
He knew he had to
他明白自己必须
find him some simple joys
寻找那些简单的欢愉
He wanted someplace
他渴望一片
warm and green
温暖葱茏的净土
We all could use
我们都该
a change of scene
换个风景
Sweet summer evenings
甜蜜的夏夜
so full of sound
充满声响
Gaining a lover,
收获爱情
you're gaining a pound
也收获幸福
Simple joys have a simple voice
简单的快乐轻声诉说
that say take a look around
让你环顾四周
And wouldn't you
难道你不愿
rather be a left-handed flea
做只自在的左撇子跳蚤
A crab on a slab
或是礁石上的螃蟹
at the bottom of the sea
沉在海底深处
A newt on the
宁愿当条树根上
root of a banded tree
惬意栖息的小蝾螈
Than a man that
也不要做个
never learns how to be free
从未学会自由的人
Not 'til he's underground
直到他长眠地下
Sweet summer evenings,
甜蜜的夏日黄昏
sapphire skies
蓝宝石般的天空
Feasting her belly
她饱餐一顿
You're Feasting your eyes
而你大饱眼福
Simple joys have a simple voice:
简单的快乐有简单的声音：
It says time's a living prize
它说时光是活着的奖赏
And wouldn't you
难道你不愿
Rather be a left-handed flea
宁愿做一只左撇子跳蚤
A crab on a slab
或是礁石上的螃蟹
at the bottom of the sea
沉在海底深处
A newt on the root
宁愿做菩提树根上的蝾螈
of a banyan tree
在枝繁叶茂间栖息
Or a fig on
或是加利利枝条上的无花果
a twig in Galilee
在微风中轻轻摇曳
Than a man who never
也不愿成为那个从未
learns how to be free
学会如何自由翱翔
Not till the day
直到那一天
Not till the day
直到那一天
Not till the day
直到那一天
Not till the day dies!
直到生命尽头！
