The Circle Game - 何嘉莉

詞：Joni Mitchell

曲：Joni Mitchell

Yesterday a child came out to wonder
昨日一孩童在游玩
Caught a dragon fly inside a jar
抓住一只怪兽放在瓶中
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
他如此害怕当天空充满危险
And tearful at the falling of a star
流星雨是他的泪水
And the seasons they go round and round
季节变换
And the painted ponies go up and down
受伤的心起伏不定
We're captive on the carousel of time
我们被时间的旋转所迷惑
We can't return we can only look behind from where we came
我们不能回头看我们来时的路
And go round and round and round in the circle game
在这场游戏中一遍又一遍
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
孩童转了很多次
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
渡过清冷的河流
Works like when you're older must appease him
好像时间会让他放缓脚步
And promises of someday make his dreams
并承诺他终有一天会梦想成真
And the seasons they go round and round
季节交替
And the painted ponies go up and down
受伤的心起伏不定
We're captive on the carousel of time
我们被时间的旋转所迷惑
We can't return we can only look behind from where we came
我们不能回头看我们来时的路
And go round and round and round in the circle game
在这场游戏中一遍又一遍
Six-teen springs and six-teen summers gone now
16个春夏秋冬
Cart-wheels turn to car-wheels thou' the town
始终交替
And they tell him take you're time it won't be long now
孩童被告诫不要虚度光阴
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down
不要让你的脚步拖慢了你的行进
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
时光飞逝孩童已近20
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
他的梦想已经实现
There're be new dreams may be better dreams and plenty
还有更多的梦想
Before the last revolving year is through
在最后一个交替之前
And the seasons they go round and round
季节更替
And the painted ponies go up and down
受伤的心起伏不定
We're captive on the carousel of time
我们被时间的旋转所迷惑
We can't return we can only look behind from where we came
我们不能回头看我们来时的路
And go round and round and round in the circle game
在交替中一遍又一遍
And go round and round and round in the circle game
在交替中一遍又一遍
